英文句子种类:肯定句和否定句

含否定词的句子称为否定句(Negative Sentence),不含否定词的句子就称为肯定句(Affirmative Sentence)。例如:

例:Mr. Walker is an Englishman.

(华克先生是英国人。——肯定句)

例:He is not an American.

(他不是美国人。——否定句)

简单地说,表达事物的“Yes”这一面的句子就是肯定句,“No”的一面的就叫做否定句。

传统的英语入门都是先学肯定句,然后再学肯定句的反面,亦就是否定句。否定句的表达方式基本上有下面的两种。

(1)使用副词否定词“not”,例如:

(a)be,have为主要动词:

例:I am not a good swimmer.

(我不是一个游泳的好手。)

例:He was not at home yesterday afternoon.

(昨天下午他不在家。)

例:I have not much money.

(我没有很多钱。)

例:He has not many friend here.

(在这里他没有很多朋友。)

解说“be/have +not”常缩短成一词,尤其是日常谈话更是如此。例如:

例:You aren't [a:nt] a friend of his, are you ?

(你不是他的朋友吧,是不是?)

例:He isn't [>!znt] my brother.

(他不是我的兄弟。)

例:I wasn't [>w&znt] there at that time.

(当时我没有在那儿。)

例:There weren't [w+:nt] many people at the party yesterday.

(昨天没有很多人参加宴会。)

“am +not”不是“amn't”,而是“aren't”或“ain't[eint]”,例如:

例:I ain't ready.

(我还没准备好。)

例:I am very nice to you, aren't I?

(我对你很不错,是不是?)

美国人用“ain't”很随便,应该是“are not,is not,have not,has not”的地方,他们也会“ain't”一下就带过去,宜注意。

下面例句是“have not,has not”的缩短形。

例:I haven't[>h$vnt] a headache.

(我没有头痛。)

例:He hasn't[>h$znt] come yet.

(他还没来。)

(b)be,have为助动词

例:You aren't going to go to her birthday party, are you?

(你不打算参加她的生日宴会,是不是?)

例:It isn't raining outside.

(外面没有在下雨。)

例:She wasn't asked to speak at the meeting.

(她没有被请求在会上讲话。)

例:I haven't done anything wrong to her.

(他没有做对不起她的事。)

例:He hasn't yet paid the money.

(他尚未付钱。)

be+ V -ing(进行时),be +P.P.(过去分词)(被动词态),have(has,had)+P.P.(完成时)等的“be,have(has,had)”皆为助动词。例1的“be going to …”在学校文法中也常被视为助动词。

(c)“助动词+V”时

动词带有助动词“will,shall,can,may,must,need,dare,ought to,used to,had better”等时,将“not”置于助动词与主要动词之间。例如:

例:I will not do it again.

 I won't[wount] do it again.

(我不愿意再做这种事。)

例:The old man cannot find his way home.

(那个老人找不到回家的路。)

例:I couldn't sleep last night.

(昨夜我无法入睡。)

例:You ought not to swim in the river.

(你不应该在河里游泳。)

例:You had better not tell her everything.

(你最好不要样样事情都告诉她。)

注:“can”的否定形式是“cannot or can't”,不可写成“can not or cann't”。

(d)使用助动词“do”的否定句

一般动词的否定句通常使用助动词“do”,句式如下:

句型  do(does, did)+not + V(原形动词)

例:I don't know her very well.

(我并不很了解她。)

例:He doesn't like Chinese tea very much.

(他并不很喜欢中国茶。)

例:She didn't come to school this morning.

(今天早上她没有来上学。)

例:Don't believe him.

(不要相信他的话。)

注:“have”表达“有”以外的意义时,其否定句通常使用助动词“do”,例如:

例:Usually I don't have (=eat) breakfast on Sunday morning.

(通常星期天早上我不吃早餐。)

例:She doesn't have (=drink) coffee for breakfast.

(她不把咖啡充作早餐喝。)

例:We didn't have (=enjoy) a good time there yesterday.

(昨天我们在那里玩得不愉快。)

不过美式英语“have”作“有”的意义使用时也如一般动词使用助动词“do”,例如:

例:I don't have brothers.

(我没有兄弟。)

例:We didn't have time enough to finish the work.

(我们当时没有足够的时间完成那件工作。)

(2)使用“not”以外的否定词

“not”以外的否定词有:

(a)副词:never,seldom,hardly,little,neither,etc.

例:She never comes to school late.

(他上学从不迟到。)

例:She seldom comes to see me.

(她不常来看我。)

(b)形容词:no,few,little,etc.

例:I have no brothers.(=I don't have brothers.)

(我没有兄弟。)

例:He has few friends in Hong Kong.

(他在香港几乎没有朋友。)

(c)代词:nothing,nobody,none,etc.

例:I know nothing about computer.

(对于电脑我一窍不通。)

 I found nobody about computer.

(在那栋房子里我没看到任何人。)

注:1.有些文法书认为“Not +V”为句子否定法,是否定句,而“no +n.或如nothing,etc.”为单词否定法,不宜称为否定句。例如:

例:He doesn't have brother.(否定句)

He has no brothers.(单词否定,但应视为肯定句,因为谓语动词是肯定。)

请注意下面两句的意义上的区别。

例:He doesn't have a breakfast.

 He has not a breakfast.

(他不吃早餐。——否定句)

例:He has no breakfast.

(他没有早餐可吃。——单词否定,肯定句)

2.否定也可以借用前缀或后缀来表达,例如:

例:He is honest.

(他是诚实的。)

 He is dishonest.(=He in not honest.)

(他不诚实。)

例:They have children.

(他们有小孩。)

 They are childless.(=The don't have children.)

(他们没有小孩。)
