suppose的用法
suppose的用法
请问suppose有什么语法知识吗?
had been supposed to和was supposed to有什么语法区别吗 是不是在一定的句式中有规定的用法?不仅仅是时态问题?
had been supposed to和was supposed to主要是时态方面的区别,前者为过去完成时,后者为一般过去时.另外,前者有时还可表示“本来应该”,相当于was supposed to have done.
关于suppose的用法,本人在金盾出版社出版的《英语常用词多用途词典》上查到了以下用法,本来是摘录下来自己和的,现与你分享:
1.其后习惯上不接带疑问词的宾语从句,遇此情况,将疑问词移到主句句首:
Where do you suppose he has gone?你估计他去哪里了呢?
Who do you suppose has stolen the money?你认为是谁偷了这钱呢?
2.其后通常不直接跟不定式作宾语,遇此情况可改为宾语从句,如:
通常不说:He supposed to have left his umbrella in the bus.
可改为:He supposed that he had left his umbrella in the bus.他以为把雨伞忘在公共汽车上了.
3.后接不定式作宾语补足语时,不定式通常为to be.如:
I supposed him to be about forty.=I supposed that he was about forty.我估计他大约40岁.
若是to be之外的其他动词,则通常为完成式或进行式.如:
He was supposed to have left for home.大家以为已动身回家了.
4.有时可用于引导条件状语从句,相当于连词if,但此时与之相对应的主句通常(但不绝对)为疑问句.如:
Suppose he doesn’t agree,what shall we do?假如他不同意,那怎么办?
这样用的suppose有时还可用于虚拟语气.如:
Suppose you were given a chance to study in America,would you accept?假如给你一个到美国学习的机会,你会接受吗?
5.be supposed to do sth为习语,表示“应该(理应)做某事”.如:
They are supposed to arrive before dark.他们应该在天黑 前到.
Everybody knows,but nobody is supposed to know.本来谁也 不该知道这事,但人人都知道了.
注:其中的不定式有时可能是进行式或完成式.如:
He’s supposed to be doing his homework at home now.他现在应该在家里做作业.
He is not supposed to have left the hospital so soon.他本不该这么早就出院的.
另外,现在分词形式的supposing可用作conj.,表示“假如”,如:
Supposing he does not come,shall we go without him?如果他不来,是不是不带他去?/
Supposing he can’t come,who will do the work?如果他不来,谁来干这工作?
这样用的supposing与if用法相似,用以引导条件状语从句,但与之相对应的主句通常(但不绝对)为疑问句.有时还可用于虚拟语气.如:
Supposing there was a war,what would you do?假如发生战争,你怎么办?
Supposing you fell in love with your boss,what would you do?假定你爱上了你的老板,你会怎么办?
注:suppose也有类似用法:Suppose [Supposing] we miss the train,what shall we do?假如我们误了火车,我们将怎么办?
