英語中的謂語是predicate，音標：英 [predkt , predket] 美 [predkt , predket]。謂語由簡陋動詞或動詞短語(助動詞或情態(tài)動詞+主要動詞)構成。

謂語動詞和非謂語動詞的區(qū)別：

1、謂語動詞和非謂語動詞辨別

1) 謂語動詞在句中可單獨作謂語，而非謂語動詞不能單獨作謂語。

瑪麗教我們英語。

(teaches 動詞作謂語)

Mr.Victor came to our classroom to have a talk with us last week.

維克托先生上周來到了我們教室和我們談話。

(to have a talk.... 不定式作狀語)

2) 謂語動詞受主語的人稱和數(shù)的限制，而非謂語動詞形式?jīng)]有這種限制。

Larke likes the pop music.

拉克愛慕流行音樂。

(動詞用單數(shù)第三人稱形式)

今天拉克沒什么事要做。

(do 用原形)

3)非謂語動詞的特點：假設非謂語動詞是及物動詞，后面須跟賓語。

(studying 后跟賓語)

2、非謂語動詞可以帶有自己的狀語或邏輯主語。

(under such a condition 是 working 的狀語)

(for him 作不定式的邏輯主語)

3、非謂語動詞仍有語態(tài)和時態(tài)的變化。

對不起讓你久等了。

(to have kept...是不定式的完成形式)

從山上看，這座城市瑰麗多了。

(seen from...是分詞的被動形式)

4、非謂語動詞在句中可以當成名詞或者形容詞來使用。

(coming 起名詞作用)
