看看这个规律:study → studies · try → tries · fly → flies。y 变成 ies。但如果 y 前面是 a, e, i, o, 或 u,就保留 y,直接加 -s 就行:play → plays。
She studies English.
He tries hard.
but: play → plays (an a before the y)
试一试: She ___ English every day. (studies / studys / study) 答案: studies — 很接近了,y 要变化:study → studies(不是 "studys")。
doesn't + 动词
用 he, she, it 的时候,说“不”要用 doesn't。变化都放在 doesn't 上了,所以后面的动词保持原形。
He doesn't work here.
She doesn't live in Haffenville.
It doesn't cost ten dollars.
Not "She doesn'tlives here." — say "She doesn'tlive here.". doesn't 已经告诉你主语是 she 了,所以后面接动词原形。
试一试: Hiroshi ___ a jacket. It is very hot. (doesn't wear / doesn't wears / don't wear) 答案: doesn't wear — Hiroshi 是 he,所以否定要用 doesn't 加动词原形:doesn't wear。doesn't wears 在动词上又加了词尾,don't wear 是 I、you、we、they 用的形式。
Does she...?
问 he, she, it 做什么动作时,先用 Does 开头,接着说人,再接动词原形。
Does he work here?
Does she live in Haffenville?
Does it cost ten dollars?
Not "Does he works here?" — say "Does he work here?". Does 已经告诉你主语是 he 了,所以后面接动词原形。
试一试: ___ Camila buy her clothes at Mosh Market? (Does / Do / Is) 答案: Does — Camila 是 she,所以问句用 Does 开头。Do 是 I、you、we、they 用的;Is 开头的问句问的是描述的词或东西,不是动作。
Yes, she does. / No, she doesn't.
用 Does 开头的问题,回答时也会带回 does 或 doesn't。你在 Yes, I do. 里已经见过:问句开头的那个词,就是回答结尾的那个词。
Does she cook dinner? - Yes, she does.
Does he study at home? - No, he doesn't.
Does it open at nine? - Yes, it does.
Not "Does she cook dinner? - Yes, she cooks." — say "Does she cook dinner? - Yes, she does.". 简短回答保留 does,所以不用再把动词说一遍。
试一试: Amina: Does Hiroshi walk to Mosh Market? Sofia: ___ His house is next to it. (Yes, he does. / Yes, he do. / Yes, he is.) 答案: Yes, he does. — 问题用 Does 开头,所以回答要带回 does。do 是 I、you、we、they 用的形式,is 回答的是用 Is 开头的问题。
has / doesn't have / Does she have...?
你已经会说 She has a bike. 了。要说“不”或者提问时,由 doesn't 和 Does 来负责变化,has 就变回原形 have。
She has a bike.
She doesn't have a bike.
Does she have a bike?
Not "She doesn't has a bike." — say "She doesn't have a bike.". doesn't 已经告诉你主语是 she 了,所以后面接原形 have。
试一试: Ira: Does Liam's apartment have three bedrooms? Amina: No, it ___ three. It has two. (doesn't have / doesn't has / don't have) 答案: doesn't have — apartment 是 it,所以否定要用 doesn't 加原形 have。doesn't has 在动词上还留着词尾,don't have 是 I、you、we、they 用的形式。
试一试: Wei: ___ Matilda have a big kitchen in her house? Lani: Yes, she does. She cooks dinner for her friends there. (Does / Has / Is) 答案: Does — Matilda 是 she,所以问句用 Does 开头,后面的 have 保持原形。Has 是把词尾放到了句首,而不是用 Does;Is 开头的问句问的是一个人是什么样的,不是问他有什么。
Not "He play. / They plays." — say "He plays. / They play.". 动词一样,是主语决定要不要加词尾。
试一试: My sister ___ tea, but my parents ___ coffee. (drinks … drink / drink … drinks / drinks … drinks) 答案: drinks … drink — My sister = she → drinks(加 -s)。My parents = they → drink(不加词尾)。
试一试: My brother ___ in a bank, but his friends ___ in a shop. (works … work / work … works / works … works) 答案: works … work — My brother = he → works(加 -s)。His friends = they → work(不加词尾)。每一个都由“谁在做”来决定。
