介词是英语中最活跃的词类之一。
一些常用介词搭配能力特别强,与其他词组合,能表示种种不同的意思,大部分习惯用语都是由介词和其他词构成的。
介词不能单独做句子成分,必须与名词、代词或动词的-ing形式等构成短语,才能在句子中充当一个成分。
介词主要有:
1. 表示地点位置的介词(above, at, behind, below, beside, between, in, in front of, inside, next to, on, opposite, outside, over, under)
2. 表示时间的介词(in , on, at; in, after; from, since; after)
3. 表运动方向的介词(across, along, down, from, into, off, onto, out of, over, round, through, to, up)
4. 表示其他意义的介词(on ,about 关于; by, with, in 表示方法、手段、工具; except, besides......
英语里的介词就好比汉语中的 “在。。。”“从。。。。”“在。。。前”“在。。。之后”,比如,after,above,under等等,和汉语里的意义基本相同
及物动词是指这个动词后面可以直接接宾语 比如drink,做及物动词的时候他的意思是喝,可以drink some cola,drink some water,就是他后面可以接宾语
再比如walk,通常做不及物动词,因为他后面不能接宾语,他是独立使用的动词
