Unit 1
1. A + as + Adj/Adv + as + B
說明 此為形容詞(Adj)與副詞(Adv)原級比較的句型,表示「A和B一樣……」。第一個as是副詞,用來修飾後面的形容詞或副詞,第二個as是連接詞,用來引導副詞子句。
主要動詞為be動詞或連綴動詞時,須接形容詞原級;動詞為一般動詞時,則接副詞原級。
若比較的對象為代名詞,則第二個as之後通常接代名詞主格加助動詞或be
動詞。在口語中,as之後也可以直接接代名詞受格。

2. A + be + Adjer/more Adj + than + B
→ B + be + less Adj + than + A
→ B + be + not + as Adj as + A
說明 此為形容詞比較級用法。第一個句型為形容詞比較級的用法,表示「A比B較為……」;而第二個句型是第一個的反向說法,為劣等比較,表示「B不比
A……」;第三個則為形容詞原級比較的否定用法,表示「B不如A……」。

than either one of its already sweet “parents.”

3. S + make/find/think/consider + it + Adj (+ for
sb) + to V...
說明 make (使……)、find (覺得……)、think和consider (認為……)為不完全及物動詞,受詞後仍須形容詞作為受詞補語,才能使句意完整。
it在此句型中為虛受詞,真受詞為之後的不定詞片語(to V)。

won the jackpot.
4. has/has + been + Vpp (+ by N)
說明 此為現在完成式句型的被動用法,表示被動語態的be動詞 + 過去分詞(Vpp)接在have/has之後,所以 be動詞一律寫為過去分詞been,而be動詞後的過去分詞(Vpp)不變。
例句 1. Scientists playing with plant genes have
produced bluecolored bananas and strawberries shaped like carrots.
→ Bluecolored bananas and strawberries shaped like
carrots have been produced by scientists playing with plant genes. (藍色的香蕉以及紅蘿蔔形狀的草莓已經被從事植物基因工作的科學家製造了。)

5. S + feel/look/smell/sound/taste + Adj
like + N
說明 感官動詞為不完全不及物動詞,後面不接受詞,但須有主詞補語(SC)來修
飾主詞,主詞補語可以是形容詞(Adj)或是介系詞片語like加上名詞。
常見的感官動詞有:feel表示「感覺起來」、look表示「看起來」、smell表
示「聞起來」、sound表示「聽起來」和taste表示「嚐起來」。
