形容词教案

形容词教案 形容词 概念 形容词是用来修饰名词，说明事物或人的性质状态或特征的词。 副词主要用来修饰动词、形容词、副词或其他结构的词。 形容词的由来 除自然形容词外, 部分形容词可以在名词尾加上适当的词缀变成形容词，如: care -- careful fun --funny sun -- sunny difference – difference 附, 名词变形容词的规则, 1. + y a. cloud – cloudy b. sun – sunny c. noise – noisy 2. + ful care – careful help – helpful 3. friend – friendly sister – sisterly 4. importance – important difference – different patience – patient 5. + -less (无) care – careless price – priceless 注意:un- im- in- -less (均表示―不/无‖...) 等不改变词性，但词义相反，如: happy – unhappy comfortable – uncomfortable expensive – inexpensive polite – impolite possible – impossible * 6. difficulty -- difficult honesty -- honest anger – angry hunger – hungry 有些形容词还可以由动词+ -ing / -ed变来，如: come – coming die – dying interest – interesting surprise – surprising worry –worried disappoint – disappointed convince – convinced Exercises 1 将下列名词变成形容词: wind rain snow fun importance difficulty difference thank use care beauty help noise sun health taste price (无价的) home (无家可归的)use (无用的) live care (粗心的) love brother honesty help(无助的) hunger 形容词的位置 1.形容词位置: 通常用在名词前,代词后，连系动词后. 形容词作定语时通常前置, 但在以下情况, 形容词必须后置: 1) 修饰合成不定代词, something, anyone等. There is nobody absent today. 2) 以-able /-ble 结尾的形容词可置于形容词最高级或only修饰的名词后. 如: That is the only solution possible. 3) 成对的形容词可后置, 常用逗号给开. There was a large room, simple and beautiful. 4) 当 ―形容词+介词/不定式‖ 构成的短语作定语时后置. The teacher asked me a question too difficult to answer. A man so difficult to please must be hard to work with. 5) 当old, long, high, wide, deep 等词附有数量词短语作定语时后置. At that time she was only a girl five years old. I have once seen a snake about a meter long. Exx. 1. – Is there anything new in today’s newspaper? - No, _____________________(没 有新内容). 2. – I have no ______________________(可用的房间) for you. 3. People in the village, ___________________(老的和少的), men and women, are fond of singing and dancing. 4. She saw a man _______________________(大约两米高的). 4. 形容词的搭配: 形容词与介词的搭配不同，其后要求接的对象也不同，甚至意思也有所不同，有的搭配 是固定的，构成短语后的作用相当于一个动词，如: be strict with sb be strict in sth be pleased with sb be afraid of be friendly to be angry with sth sb /at sth be interested in be surprised/ amazed at be excited at/about be disappointed at be thankful to sb be familiar with be careful of be sure / certain of get/be tired of 其他搭配: blind /dead dunk fast sleep much afraid much alike 形容词充当的句子成分 (一)作定语 1(前置定语 (1)形容词作定语一般需放在它所修饰的名词之前并尽量靠近被修饰的词。在这种位置上 的定语叫前置定语。语序一般为―冠词(或其他限定词)+形容词+名词‖。 He is an honest boy.
