上几期学习了英语语法: 短语bas it were, at one’s best的用法、短语be anxious to, be compelled to do sth的用法、短语be determined to, be forced to do sth的用法、短语be glad to, be happy to do sth的用法
短语的用法11. be likely to有可能
用法:be likely to后面跟动词原形。
例句1:Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. (6月四级)
长寿的女性比正常寿命的女性更容易富有同情心,而且更容易合作。
结构分析:Long-living women是主语,are also more likely是系表型谓语(系动词are also+表语more likely), to be sympathetic and cooperative是不定式词组作宾语,than women with a normal life span是比较状语。
12. be obliged to do sth被迫做某事
用法:be obliged to后面跟动词原形,相当于be forced to。
例句1:They were obliged to fulfill the signed contract. (6月四级)
他们必须履行已签署的合同。
结构分析:They是主语,were obliged是系表型谓语(系动词were +表语obliged),to fulfill the signed contract是不定式词组作宾语(在不定式中the signed contract是宾语)。
