(一) 容词和副词
1.形容词修饰名词或者代词,副词修饰除了名词和代词外,其余词均可修饰。
2.GMAT 考试中最长出现的修饰结构:
形容词+形容词+名词:在此结构中,两个形容词均修饰名词
副词+形容词+名词:在此结构中,副词修饰形容词,形容词修饰名词
EG: James is Max’s supposed Irish ancestor. supposed修饰ancestor,表明James可能是,也可能不是MAX的ancestor.
Max’s grandmother is his supposedly Irish ancestor.此处supposedly一定要用副词形式,因为M的奶奶肯定是M 的祖先,只是不知道是不是他的Irish祖先而已,因此副词再次修饰形容词了。
常见的形容词+ly 变副词的词语: corresponding, frequent, independent, rare, recent,
seeming, separate, significant, supposed, usual.
(二)名词修饰语:形容词、介词短语,过去分词,不加逗号的现在分词,从句,同位语(另一个名词)
前置修饰(同位语)是GMAT 中最常见的名词性修饰
EG: Tired from chasing mice, the cat took a nap.
1.名词和其修饰语必须互相靠近,就近修饰;如果修饰语靠近另外一个名词,则会产生误解。
EG: Jim biked along an old dirt road to get to his house, which cut through the woods. 错
To get to his house, Jim biked along an old dirt road, which cut through the woods. 对
2.每一个名词修饰必须对应一个修饰对象,不能缺乏修饰对象
Wrong: Resigned to the bad news, there was no commotion in the office.
Right: Resigned to the bad news, the office workers made no commotion.
3.避免一些列的修饰语修饰一个名词,让两个很长的修饰语修饰一个名词不好
最常见的模式就是:修饰语,修饰语, 主谓宾必错
而一种常见容易弄错的情形是:修饰语,主语+定语从句,谓宾,这种是对的
另外一种:修饰语,定语从句,主语,修饰语,谓语宾语,这种也对,但少见
注意:动词修饰语不像名词修饰语,不需要贴近其修饰的主语。
Wrong: George Carlin, both shocking and entertaining audiences across the na- tion. who also struggled publicly with drug abuse, influenced and in- spired a generation of comedians.
Better: Both shocking and entertaining audiences across the nation. George Car- lin. who also struggled publicly with drug abuse, influenced and inspired a generation of comedians.
BEST: Both shocking and entertaining audiences across the nation, George Carlin influenced and inspired a generation of comedians,
另外,要注意所有格形式,这种形式经常会出现修饰错误,要区分所修饰de内容指的是人还是物!特别注意抽象名词
EG: Wrong : Only in the past century has origami’s development, a ceremonial activity invented millennia ago, into a true art form taken place.
此句中,后句不是句子而是一个修饰结构,由于靠近development,通常会被我们误认为是修饰development.
Right: Origami-a ceremonial activity invented millennia ago-has developed into a true art form only in the past century.
(三)名词修饰与从句
1.Which(修饰物),that(不能修饰人), who /whom(修饰人)、whose, where, when, Who: 一般修饰主语; whom: 一般修饰宾语,且一般跟在介词 in/for后面,其中在GMAT中whose既可以修饰物也可以修饰人。
e.g .the town whose water supply was contaminated.
That/whom:修饰的成分是宾语的时候,是可以省略的(判定是否是修饰宾语:修饰宾语通常是对宾语的限定,例如哪一个nice?)
Wrong: The security guard WHO we met was nice.
Right: The security guard WHOM we met was nice.
Where: 只能修饰具体的地点,对于一些虚拟的,如condition, situation(位置), case, circumstance,arrangement(布置),用in which修饰更好。
When: 可以修饰一个名词时间或时间,如time, period, age, 1987, decade, 也可以用in which
2.修饰限制性名词修饰,一般用the;无逗号隔开的,用that;
非限制性名词修饰,一般用this/these:有逗号隔开的,用which
Non-essential: This mansion,WHICH HAS BEEN RECENTLY PAINTED RED, is owned by the Lees.
Essential: The mansion THAT HAS BEEN PAINTED RED is owned by the Lees.
但是当which前面有介词的时候,例如for which,可能不需要that,但是依然需要逗号原则。
Non-essential: This mansion. FOR WHICH I YEARN, is owned by the Lees.
Essential: The mansion FOR WHICH I YEARN is owned by the Lees.
(四)动词修饰:副词,介词短语,从属结构
从属结构,通过because, although, if, while, so that修饰,有两个重要考点:
1. 主谓语宾要全,因为毕竟是一个句子
2. 不能单独形成一个完整的句子,逻辑意思必须依附于一个主句。
(五)which 和现在分词
1.Which 必须紧跟其修饰的名词,which不能修饰一个句子,which只能指代它前面的一个名词
Wrong: Crime has recently decreased in our neighborhood. WHICH has led to a rise in property values.(此句中which指的是neighborhood,错)
Right: The recent decrease in crime in our neighborhood has led to a rise in property values.
2.ing 形式做修饰语
(1)做形容词,直接修饰名词
(2)可以修饰主语和动词
(3)可以修饰一个从句(此时主句若转化为同意名词,这个名词可作为ing的主语),这种
形式就是常见的ing表示结果的结构。
EG: Crime has recently decreased in our neighborhood, leading to a rise in property values.
(4)ing 形式在主系表结构中,可以修饰其前面紧跟的名词
(5)ing 形式在主谓宾结构之后,可以表示与谓语动词同时发生,表伴随,此时其逻辑主
语就是主句的主语。
