动词开头的句子,(1)如果是祈使句,用动词原形(其实这是省略了主语you)。
如:答Go back to your seat.Open the window, please.(2)如果这个动词作主语,一般用ing。这时动词ing叫动名词,相当于一个名词。如:Listening to music is my favorite.听音乐是我的最爱。Seeing is believing.百闻不如一见。
(3)如果这个动词作主语,也可以用to do。这时不定式也相当于一个名词。如:To see is to believe.百闻不如一见。Not to grasp firmly is not to grasp at all.抓得不紧等于完全没抓。总之1、除了祈使句,句首不能用动词原形。
2、句首不能用动词的过去式、过去分词或现在分词。
动词在句首的有:
祈使句,一般疑问句,现在正在进行时态句首用的叹词。
祈使句:可用动词原形或者否定形式开头。
如:Sit down, please!
Don't be late!
一般疑问句:情态动词,be的各种形式,助动词在句首。
如:Can you do me a favor?
Are you a student
Do you like swimming
叹词在句首:
Look!They are playing football on the playground.
