什么时候用be,什么时候用are?

如题所述

be动词
be动词的用法
be
[bi:]
vi
现在时 I am, you are, he is, we are, you are, they are (缩略式 I'm, you're, he's, we're, you're, they're), (否定缩略式 I'm not, isn't, aren't), 过去时 I was, you were, he was, we were, you were, they were (过去时否定缩略式 wasn't, weren't), 过去分词 been, 现在分词 being

“Be”除了原形的“be”之外,还有另外七种形式:am, is, are, been, being, was, were.

在句子中,“be”可以是主动词(The Principal Verb)或助动词(The Auxiliary Verb).

当主动词时,“be”在性质上属于接系动词(The Linking Verb), 后面要有名词、形容词、地方副词或短语作补足语(The Complement)。例如:

1. The man is a science teacher.

2. Mary's new dresses are colourful.

3. I have been there before.

4. Mother is in the kitchen now.

这四个都是陈述句,可以变成疑问句,方法简单,把主语和“be”或助动词对换位置即可:

5. Is the man a science teacher?

6. Are Mary's new dresses colourful?

7. Have I been there before?

8. Is mother in the kitchen now?

当“be”要在祈使句中出现时,它必须借重助动词“do”或“don't”之助,如:

9. Don't be silly!

10. Do be obedient!

11. Don't be a fool!

“Be”有两种缩写法,如下:

12. He's not...../He isn't....

13. You're not...../You aren't...

但“am + not”的缩写法只有一个:

14. I'm not.

有人用“ain't”, 但这并不是标准英语。

谈过了“be”作主动词的功能,现在看看“be”作助动词时,有些什么用法:

1.“Be + 现在分词”以组成进行式时态(Continuous Tenses),如:

15. Tony's maid is washing his new car.

16. The children are playing in the field.

17. Samuel was eating when I came in.

18. We have been living here since 1959.

2.“Be + 过去分词”以组成被动语态(The Passive Voice),如:

19. Her money in the drawer was stolen.

20. A number of good jobs are taken up byforeigners.

21. David studied in Taiwan but has been trained as a language lecturer in America.

22. Can all the wonderful birds be found in our Bird Park?

23. The disobedient boy was told to stand out- side the classroom.

24. Steps are being taken to reduce traffic con- gestion during peak hours.

25. Dishonest students will be immediately dealt with.

你只要记得be是is are的原形,is 是单数 are 是复数

I 后面接 am
we you they后面接 are
he she it后面接 is

be 是 系动词的原型
一般用在需要用原型的情况
不定式:to be
情态动词:can be ,may be,must be,should be
祈使句:Be careful
将来时态:will be

在一吧现在时中,如果主语是复数,后面的系动词就用are,如They are students.本回答被提问者和网友采纳

用动词原形的时候用be,用复数是用are,用过去式时用were或者was
