Question

be动词具体用法

Answer 1

be是一个连系动词，它有自己不同的形式
现在时：be 进行时：being 过去时：was/were 过去分词：been
它的后面必须跟形容词或名词作表语，与之构成系表结构，充当句子的谓语。
i am a student主语：i 谓语：am a student（系表结构）
being是它的现在进行时态，一般不单独用，而是用于现在进行时的被动语态。（being+动词过去分词）
the bike is being repaired.单车正在被修理中。
it is being finished by him这正在被他完成中。
been是它的过去分词，也不一般单独使用，而是用于现在完成时、过去完成时以及需要它的句子。
i have been here for a long time.我已经到这里有一段时间了。
至于你的问题，这与你想表达的意思有关。
你的工作是什么？
what do you do? what is your job?
那么这里选用do和is有什么根据呢？
第一句里面，第二个do是指你做什么，也就是你的工作，就是一个实义动词。按中文说，what you do已经足够了。可是英语里面就不行，必须跟一个助动词，也就是do.
这里就有了一个结论：当句子中有动词时，我们就用助动词do或是does.如果没有动词时，我们就选用is或是are，也就是b“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.

Answer 2

英语的“be”是个特别动词；有些语言，如中文和马来文，并没有“be”这样的动词。
“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：

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.
从上面例子看，“be”这动词外貌平凡，但内涵丰厚。如果没有“be”，补足语的桥梁断了。如果没有“be”,何来进行式时态和被动语态？缺了这几样重要的句式，英语还像英语吗？
