词组

refer to  ——即,指的是

converted to/into ——转化为

access to ——可接近,可得到的

FG大之前还讲了个更常用的:available to )



alternative to ——可做另选的

guide to ——指导的

beneficial to ——有利的

linked to ——相关联的

opposed to ——与... 相反地、不同的

contributed to ——对...有贡献的

。。。



万变不离其中,上述formula 其实就是动/名词+to/into.


当然有些动词需要变换形式:

-ing

-ed

v-(原形:refer)

n-(名词:access\guide)

a-(形容词:alternative\beneficial)



所谓动词变形就是把它变成动名词(就是名词),形容词(-ed,-ing,-en|过去式,动名词,过去分词)。


这些用法一般是统一的:都放在所修饰的名词之后。


(上述有些词组是用作谓语形式的,所以是动词原形,如果作为后置定语,修饰前面的中心词,则需要根据句意做出相应变形。)



一般来说:

主语——Having a small amount of red wine* has been shown to increase the health benefits.

介词之后——The benefits of adopting the whole dietary pattern

定语——It can also be useful for people wishing to lose weight.

状语——I often read a book when traveling by train.

用动词ing形式




虚拟语气


转述建议,用that从句,又称为虚拟语气。

从句常含情态动词,通常是should.

如果不用情态动词,句子语气显得更加正式。

The WHO recommend (that) we (should) eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.

It was his doctor who advised that he (should) change his job.

I suggested that he (should) bring them all up to the house.


注:在某些情况下,省略从句主语时,可将谓语变换为-ing形式。

Barbara suggested going to another coffee-house.

Deirdre proposed moving to New York.

I recommend writing your feelings down on paper.

I'd advise waiting until tomorrow.

(看看即可)



【拓展】所有后接从句时需要用should的动词:

advise propose recommend suggest urge——表建议

agree ask beg command demand order direct request——表命令

decree insist intend plead pray prefer rule stipulate  ——表主观


见此不必着急,知识是一点一滴积累来的,谁都不可能一口吃个胖子。


最赞叹的一个成语是:

集腋成裘
