四、语法

    感叹句

    感叹句多用how和what引起，how和what与所修饰的词放在句首，其他部分用陈述句语序。在口语中谓语常省略。

    1．how作状语，修饰形容词、副词或动词。如：

    How fast they are working!他们干得真快！

    How well she dances!她跳得真好！

    How lovely they are!真好看！

    How he hated these beasts! 他多么恨这些畜牧！

    注释: 没有how a 这种形式。

    2．what作定语，修饰名词（名词前可有其他定语），可数名词前要加不定冠词a(an)。如：

    What a fine voice she has!她嗓子真好！

    What good news it is!

    多好的消息呀！(不可数名词,不需要加任何冠词)

    What silly questions you asked!

    你问的问题真傻！(名词复数前也不需要加任何冠词)

    感叹句用来表示强烈的感情。句末用感叹号“！”，读时用降调。在口语中常用省略句，后面的主语和谓语往往省略，有时只用一个词或词组。如：

    How cold!太冷了!                  Wonderful！太好了!

    (形容词性和名词性)物主代词

    1. 形容词性物主代词相当于形容词，在句中通常可用作定语，后面要跟名词。如：

    Mary lost her handbag.  玛丽丢了包。

    Thank you for your help.  谢谢你的帮助。

    2. 名词性物主代词，相当于名词，具有名词的特性，在句中可作主语、宾语及表语等。它后面不能再加其它的名词。如：

    This isn’t my jacket. Mine is black.  这不是我的夹克衫，我的是黑的。

    Our English teacher is more friendly than theirs.  我们的英语老师比他们的更友好。

    3. 名词性物主代词还可以和of连用，构成双重属性。如：

    Jim is a good friend of mine.吉姆是我的一个好朋友。

    Look at that big red nose of his. 看他的大红鼻子。
