英语长难句如何准确找主干

直接上干货。一个句子有且只有一个动词,所以可以根据动词把句子分解,从而确定主干。这里的动词指的是能成为谓语的成分,包括谓语动词,助动词 主要动词,情态动词 主要动词,系动词。但是不包括非谓语动词(to do, doing, done)。下面是这些动词的示例:【谓语动词】I hate smoking. 这个示例也说明了为什么动名词不行,动名词在此作宾语,无法成为主干的枢纽部分,hate才是。

【助动词 主要动词】I am telling you the truth.【情态动词 主要动词】You should do him a favor.【系动词】Moscow is the capital of Russia.能够准确找到动词后,见什么句子就都不怕了。下面是实战部分:Fearing that the number of people killed could eventually be in the thousands, rescue workers were only just starting to take stock of the wreckage — pulling out survivors buried under the rubble from a collapsed hotel, treating patients in tents and racing to get food and water to survivors. 来自今天的华盛顿邮报首先,找动词。

上文说了,单独的分词不能构成谓语,所以动词只有一个:were only just starting。其它四个都是现在分词,引导的是状语成分。那么主干就是 rescue workers were starting to do something. 整个句子的结构是这样的:上图蓝色方块内是句子主干,绿色椭圆内修饰成分。
