英语介词短语的用法

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

介词不能在句子中独立充当一个成分，而需要与其后面的宾语相结合，成为介词短语，在句中充当一个成分。介词与其他词类或成分结合后方能在句子中充当语法成分，构成介词短语。介词短语可以作定语(须后置)、状语、表语、宾语补足语、另一个介词的宾语，间或作主语等。
例如：
The skyscraper in the distance isa five-star hotel.(定语)
Her eyes were tired from long reading.(状语)
The decision is of great importance to me.(表语)
They found the machine in a bad state.(宾语补足语)
A pretty girl appeared from behind the curtain.(介词宾语)
On purpose or not on purpose is of great difference.(主语)
动词短语
1. 动词(verb) + 介词(prepositional)
例：This plan will call for a lot of money.
2. 动词(verb) + 副词(adverb)
例：I will call up a friend.
3. 动词(verb) + 副词(adverb) + 介词(prepositional)
例：The company called their products back in for repairs.
英语的名词性词组,首先是一个词语组合,然后它具有名词的性质和功能,通常由修饰语（名词、形容词、代词、分词及其短语、介词的短语、不定式以及它们的各种组合）和中心词（即名词）构成.
例如：a question一个问题
a difficult question 一个难题
a very difficult question 一个非常难的问题
a very difficult English question 一个非常难的英语问题
a very difficult English question asked by him一个他问的非常难的英语问题
等等.
