什么是及物动词,什么是不及物动词
所谓及物动词,就是谓语动词(predicative verb)不必通过介词引荐宾语(即可直接跟宾语)。相反的,不及物动词(intransitive verb)是不带宾语的。有许多动词,虽然性质是及物的,但不一定要有宾语,如下列的①a和②a便是这种情形:
①a。 We study every day。
b。 Do you study English every day。
②a。 Please write clearly next time。
b。 Can you write your composition now?

所谓及物动词,就是谓语动词(predicative verb)不必通过介词引荐宾语(即可直接跟宾语)。相反的,不及物动词(intransitive verb)是不带宾语的。有许多动词,虽然性质是及物的,但不一定要有宾语,如下列的①a和②a便是这种情形:
①a。
We study every day。
b。 Do you study English every day。
②a。 Please write clearly next time。
b。 Can you write your composition now?
如果本质上就是不及物动词,就不会有宾语;若要宾语,就要借介词之助,一起连用才行,如③b和④b;③a和④a是错的;
*③a。
The children are listening the music。
b。 The children are listening to the music。
*④a。
She is laughing the crippled man。
b。 She is laughing at the crippled man。
反之,及物动词不必靠介词,就可以带宾语,如上述的①b和②b ,又如⑤和 ⑥:
⑤ John is giving a book to me。
⑥ Who will answer this question?
如果无意中把介词加上,就错了,如:
*⑦ Who will answer to this question?
下列这句从房地产广告中看到的句子,也犯了同样的错:
“We have many buyers awaiting for available units here。
”
“Awaiting”是个及物动词,后面的介词“for”是多余的,要去掉;不然把“awaiting”改为“waiting for”也行。
许多人习惯上喜欢把介词加到及物动词后面,然后才带出宾语。
最常见的是“emphasize/stress on/upon”和“discuss about”,如:
⑧ Singaporeans seem to have emphasized on material gains。
⑨ In our education system, we stress upon examination results。
⑩ World leaders spent a lot of time discussing about worsening economic problems。
显然的,这三句里的介词“on/upon”和“about”是多余的,不必要的。
下面是些类似的错误:
● The young must obey to their elders。
● Do not approach to that odd-looking man。
● The audience attacked on the rude speaker。
● Nothing can escape from his parents' eyes。
● Do you hope to serve for your nation?
● When did Susan marry with Paul?
介词“to, on, from, for, with”都要去掉才对。
为什么会有这些错误呢?主因是分不清楚及物动词和不及物动词的性质。其次,就是对同一个动词及其名词的句型有些混淆。解决之道有二。第一,要把“及物动词+宾语”和“不及物动词+介词+宾语”划分清楚,如:
I did not answer him。
/ I did not reply to him。
He reached Londan yesterday。/ He arrived in London yesterday。
第二,把及物动词转化为名词,然后加上适当的介词和宾语,如:
Don't approach such a person。
Is oral practice a good approach to language teaching?
