seem用法总结

seem可用作连系动词或不及物动词,意为“似乎;好像”,其常见用法现归纳如: 一、“主语+ seem +to be +表语",表语多为名词或形容词,有时是其他的词或短语,以说明主语的特征或状态。例如:

Tom seems (to be ) a very clever boy 汤姆看上去是一个非常聪明的男孩。

The man over there seems to be a new teacher 那边的那个人看上去像一个新老师.

Mr Black seemed to be quite happy 布莱克先生好像十分快乐。

This small town seems changed a little 这个小城镇似乎有点儿变化。 二、“主语+ seem + 不定式”此句型中的seem与不定式一起构成复合谓语。例如:

Mrs Green doesnt seem (或seems not ) to like the idea 格林夫人似乎不太喜欢这个主意。

The children seemed to be eating something in the room. 孩子们好像正在房间里吃东西呢。

The young man seemed to have changed much 这个年轻人看起来变化很大。 三、It seems + that从句”,其中it 是形式主语,that引导主语从句。例如:

It seems that no one knows what has happened in the park 似乎没有人知道在公园里发生了什么事。

It seems to me that Mr Brown will not come again. 在我看来布朗先生不会再来了。 四、There + seem to be +名词",其中to be 可省略。seem 的单复数形式要根据后面作主语的名词的单复数形式而定。例如:

There doesn't seem to be much hope of our beating that team 看来我们战胜那个队没有多大希望。

There seems no need to wait longer. 看来没有再等的必要了。 一.seem常常和不定式,形容词,分词,名词和介词短语搭配。如: 1seem+不定式(短语)

a)I seemed to hear a voice in the distance . bYour advice seems to be doing me a favor . c)I seem to have caught a cold

注意:1seem后跟不定式(短语),要注意不定式所表示动作发生的时间,以此来确定不定式的时态。

2seem后不定式的否定式习惯上用 dont 来代替,(放在seem 前),如: You dont seem to be quite yourself today ( =You seem not be quite yourself today )

2.seem +形容词

a) She seems quite happy today

b The enemy seems powerful but in fact it is weak


[注]此句式出可看作是seem+to be+adj句式的一种简化形式。 如例a可转换为:

She seems to be quite happy today. b可转换为:

The enemy seems to be powerful but in fact it is weak.

但目前由于英语的发展,seem+to be+形容词结构的用法已越来越少,seem+adj的结构已趋成型,属口语语体. 3Seem+分词

a) The situation seemed quite encouraging b) The news seems exciting

c They seems interested in the film.

[注]seem后用现在分词还是过去分词取决于分词本身的逻辑主语,如句中的主(盍作的执行者)是分词的逻辑主语,用现在分词,反之用过去分词。 4seem+名词

a) She seems a clever girl. b) Her mother seems a teacher

c) It seemed a long time before my turn came. 5.seem+介词短语

They seemed in high spirits

二、seem常用于it作形式主语的“It seems/seemed that……”结构,如: a) It seems that you were lying

b) It seemed that he had been a scientist.

c) It seems impossible that he will be here tomorrow [注]1)在这一句式中,常省去that,如例a可改为: It seems you were lying

2)间或在seem后可跟一形容词,如例c

三、seem常用于由as if/though引导的从句中,如: a It seems as if it is going to rain

b) It seems as though our planll be perfect c It seems as if he knew nothing about that. d) It seems as if it was/were spring already.

[注]在这种句式中,如从句所叙述的情实现的可能性比较大,从句谓语用陈述语气

,如ab两例;若实现的可能性较小,或根本不可能实现,从句的谓语则用虚拟语气,如c,d 两例.

四、seem通常用在“It seems(seemedto sbthat)……”的结构中,这种结构常用来表示“行为”的主体,例: a) It seems to us a good chance

b It seems to the emperor that the people were right. c It seems to me eveyythingis all right 五、seems也常用在“there seem(s to be”句式中,用来代替be,作句子的谓语。如:

a) There seems to be no point in refusing

b) There seemed to be something the matter with him.
