助动词都有哪些？

Question

助动词都有哪些？

Answer 1

助动词也是动词的一种，它用以表示：可能、应该、愿望、必须……通常放在动词
（verb)或形容词（adjective)之前。它也时常令初学者感到混淆。

一、shall 和 will

1.1 助动词shall/will 的最常用法，就是表示后面的动词属于未来式(future
tense):

第一人称(I、we)用shall:
I shall go tomorrow.
We shall go tomorrow.

第二人称(thou、you)及第三人称(he、she、it、they)都用will:
He will go tomorrow.
She will go tomorrow.
They will go tomorrow.

1.2 如果shall或will并不是用来表示后面的动词是未来式的，那么shall
将用在第二及三人称，这时就有"决定、命令、答应"等意思：

You shall obey me.(你要服从我。）
He shall leave the house instantly.（他决定马上离开家。）
You shall have my book.（说这话的人答应把书给对方。）

同样的，will用在第一人称时，就有"决定、答应、情愿"等意思：

I will speak, in spite of you.(不管你怎样，我决定说。）
I will never forsake you.(我永远不会舍弃你。）

这回就谈到这里。下回谈should和would。

谈谈助动词（二）

上一则拉杂谈谈了助动词shall和will。实际上这两个助动词，以及should和would的用
法相当复杂，令我感到有不知从何下手的感觉。现在就shall和will再举一些例子。

shall 用在第一人称（就是 I 或 we) 时：

I shall tell you this evening. (意向）
I shall never do it again. (答应）
Shall I post the letter for you? (问对方的意愿）

shall 用在第二人称(you)或第三人称（he, she, it , they) 时：

You shall never see her again. (意向）
You shall go at once. （命令）
You shall have a reward. （答应）
You shall punished. （恫吓）
Shall he be paid? （问对方的意向）

will 用在第一人称时：

I will work hard. (意向）
I will be obeyed. （命令）
I will help you as much as I can. （答应）
I will punish you. （恫吓）

will 用在第二人称或第三人称时：

You will send in your report on Thursday. (命令）
Whatever you may say, things of this kind will go on. （必然性）
Will you help me? （请求）
Will you tell me about it? （请求）
You will sit here for hours saying nothing. （表示习惯）

下来谈谈should 和 would

三、助动词should 的用法：

3.1 should 用在第一人称时：

I should be glad to see you if you would call tomorrow morning. (条件）
I should be glad to see you. (省略条件子句conditional clause) （条件）
We should sort out this problem at once. （决定）
I think we should check everything again. （劝告）

3.2 should 用在第二人称或第三人称时：

Should you like to see him if he should call on you this evening? (表示将
来）
Should you like to see him. （省略条件子句conditional clause）
It's a pity you should always be so busy. （看法）
If you should see Peter, tell him about the match. （可能）
You should apply for a visa right away. （责任）
If it should be fine tomorrow, I shall go out. (条件）
It is a pity that she should be so ill.

3.3 should 用在任何人称时：

I / You/ He/ She/ They should study hard. (义务或责任）

四、助动词would 的用法：

4.1 would 用在第一人称时：

If I could, I would work hard. (意向）
I would be obeyed. （命令）
I would help you as much as I could. （答应）
I would punish you if you should do it again. （恫吓）

4.2 would 用在第二人称或第三人称时：

If you were a bird, you would be able to fly. (将来）
Would you tell me about it? (请求）
Would you help me? （请求）
Would you were with us! （愿望）
He would keep playing with my watch. （持续

They wouldn't (would not) believe me. （拒绝）
Would you mind if I brought a colleague with me? （许可）
Would you pass the salt please? （请求）
Would you mind waiting a moment? （请求）
Would you like to play golf this Friday? （邀请）

shall / will / should / would 真是千头万绪，真没办法。

进步。再见。

谈谈助动词（五）

这回让我们来谈谈助动词MUST 。助动词shall, will, may, can 都有过去式（Past
Tense：should, would,might, could), 而must 却没有；但是它也往往指过去的事。

下面是must的一些用法：

一、表示"必须"：

You must listen to him. 你必须听他的话。

(注意：如果要说"你不必听他的话。" 可不能说 "You must not liston to him。"而
要说：
You need not liston to him.
因为 "You must not liston to him." 的意思是 "你不可听他的话。" ）

二、表示"一定"：

He must be a honest man. 他一定是一个诚实的人。

三、表示"偏偏"：

As I was sitting down to supper, the telephone must ring. 当我正在坐下来吃
晚餐的时候，电话偏偏响了起来。

四、"must have+(past participle)..." 的用法：

谅必曾经看到他。（实际上是不曾看见。）

4.3 "必须曾经" 的意思：

Any applicant for this position must have practised for five years. 对于
这个职位的任何申请人必须曾经实习过五年。

就谈到这里，下回见。Bye!

谈谈助动词（六）

在英文里，助动词（Auxiliary Verbs)说多不多，说少也不少。这里所谈的只是其中的
一部份，其他如：have, be(am, is, are, were, been, being), ought, need, dare,
used to 等等。下面仅谈其中need和dare。

一、NEED ：当用作助动词时，它的特征是：第三人称、现在式（Present tense)、在
疑问句或否定句里指过去、后面的infinitive没有"to":

Need he go yesterday? (注意：句子指过去，但need为现在式，he go 不作 he
goes)
He need not go yesterday.
He need not have any help from us yesterday.

二、DARE ：和need一样，dare 和 need 除了用作普通的动词外，也可用作助动词。它
的句子特征是：否定或有否定意味、dare后面的infinitive没有"to"、用dare不用
dares、有时指过去的事：

He dare not go.
He dare not do anything.
He dare not take such a step.
No-one dare go.
Dare he go?

"I dare say" 这种说法有"我以为"、"大概"、"在我看来"、"或者"的意思：

I dare say it will be right.
His brother, I dare say, is richer.
I dare say his brother is richer

Answer 2

协助主要动词构成谓语动词词组的词叫助动词（Auxiliary Verb）。被协助的动词称作主要动词（Main Verb）。
助动词自身没有词义，不可单独使用，例如：
He doesn't like English. 他不喜欢英语。
（doesn't是助动词，无词义；like是主要动词，有词义)

2） 助动词协助主要动词完成以下功用，可以用来：
a. 表示时态，例如：
He is singing. 他在唱歌。
He has got married. 他已结婚。
b. 表示语态，例如：
He was sent to England. 他被派往英国。
c. 构成疑问句，例如：
Do you like college life? 你喜欢大学生活吗？
Did you study English before you came here? 你来这儿之前学过英语吗？
d. 与否定副词not合用，构成否定句，例如：
I don't like him. 我不喜欢他。
e. 加强语气，例如：
Do come to the party tomorrow evening. 明天晚上一定来参加晚会。
He did know that. 他的确知道那件事。
3） 最常用的助动词有：be, have, do, shall, will, should, would
