seem用法总结.doc

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下:
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:

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:

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。

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:

+不定式(短语)
a)I seemed to hear a voice in the distance .
b)Your 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)时,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。
