AEAS英语水平考试包括词汇、阅读、写作、听力和口语,虽然没有明确直接考aeas语法题,但小编认为,澳洲入学aeas考试中的许多模块都会涉及到语法方面的考核,这与词汇一样是不可分割的。总结来说,aeas语法中的动词语法包括时态、语态、用法、省略、一致性等方面,下文将系统地为大家归纳和解读,同时也会给大家分享两组常见的固定搭配用法,通过结合事例分析来达到学以致用的目的。
动词的四大常见时态及两大重点语态
1)现在完成进行时态(have/has been + -ing 分词构成):动作或状态从过去某时开始,继续到现在,可能继续下去,也可能刚刚结束。
I’ve been writing letters for an hour.
I’ve been sitting in the garden.
2)过去完成进行时(由had been + ing分词构成):过去某个时刻以前一直在进行的动作。
I’d been working for some time when he called.
We had been waiting for her for two hours by the time she came.
3)将来完成进行时(由will have been + ing分词构成):将来某个时刻以前一直在进行的动作。
By next summer, he will have been working here for twenty years.
In another month’s time, she’ll have been studying here for three years.
4)将来完成时(由shall/will have + 过去分词构成):将来某时已发生的事。
I shall have finished this one before lunch.
They’ll have hit the year’s target by the end of October.
☆双宾语被动语态
双宾语结构变为被动语态时,可以把主动结构中的一个宾语变为主语,另一个宾语仍然保留在谓语后面,但多数是把间接宾语变为主语,请看下面两个事例。
He was asked a number of questions at the press conference.
Two days were allowed them for making the necessary preparations.
☆宾补结构被动语态
宾语补足语又称复合宾语,它放在宾语之后用来补充说明,使句意更加完整,并与宾语有逻辑上的主谓关系。如:
She was called Big Sister by everybody.
Then he was made a squad leader.
He was considered quite qualified for the job.
The room was always kept clean and tidy.
aeas语法的6个简单用法
1. 一个句子的主语和谓语动词应该能够反映句子中的最重要意思。例如:The situation that resulted in my grandfather"s not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the farm.
从意思上来分析,上面这句话需要表达的重要概念是“grandfather"s not being able to study”,而在表达这个概念时,原句用的主语是situation,谓语动词是was,不能强调需要表达的重点概念,可以改为下面这句话:My grandfather couldn"t study engineering because his father needed help on the farm.
2. 避免频繁使用“there be”结构。例如:There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every day. It was hard work for my grandfather.可以改为:My grandfather worked hard. He had to milk 25 cows on the farm every day.更简洁的句式为:My grandfather worked hard milking 25 cows daily.
3. 把从句改为短语或单词。例如:Dairy cows were raised on the farm,which was located 100 kilometers from the nearest university and was in an area that was remote.简洁表达方式为:The dairy farm was located in a remote area,100 kilometers to the nearest university.
4. 仅在需要强调宾语,而不是主语的时候,才使用被动语态。例如:In the fall,not only did the cows have to be milked,but also the hay was mowed and stacked by my grandfather’s family.
本句的重心应该是“my grandfather’s family”,而使用了被动语态后,仿佛重心变成了cows和hay。下面的表达方式是主动语态,相对来说更简洁一些:In the fall,my grandfather’s family not only milked the cow but also mowed and stacked the hay.
5. 用更为精确的一个动词来代替动词短语。例如:My grandfather didn"t have time to stand around doing nothing with his school friends.
“Stand around doing nothing”其实可以用一个动词来表达,即loiter,可将句子改为My grandfather didn’t have time to loiter with his school friends.
6. 有时两句话的信息经过组合,完全可以用一句话来简练地表达。例如:Profits from the farm were not large. Sometimes they were too small to meet the expenses of running a farm. They were not sufficient to pay for a university degree.可合并为下句更为简洁:Profits from the farm were sometimes too small to meet operational expenses,let alone pay for a university degree.

2、had better用法
此意为“最好”、“应该”,后接动词原形,与情态动词should用法相似,其中的had通常缩略为 'd。
①否定或疑问式用法
构成否定式时,通常将not置于had better之后(而不是had之后);构成疑问式时,则通常将had(而不是had better)置于主语之前。例如:
I'd better not disturb him.我最好别去打扰他。
What had we better do? 我们最好怎么办?
注:在否定疑问句或反意疑问句中可将not与had连用。如:Hadn't we better go now? 我们是不是现在就去呢?
②后接进行式和完成式动词
有时后接动词的进行式,表示最好马上做某事,也可接完成式动词,表示最好做完某事或本该做某事而未做某事。如:
I think I'd better be going.我想我最好还是马上走。
You'd better be getting your clothes ready. 你最好马上把衣服准备好。
You had better have done that. 你最好把那事做完。
