因为,你的方法不对! 今天,我们来总结英语的构词法,学习构词法的意义是什么呢? 没错,就是它可以使我们能够轻松容易地认识更多单词,以一种巧妙的方式扩大词汇量。 英语中的构词法主要有三种,即转化法、合成法和派生法。 在英语中,一个单词由一种词性转化为另一种或几种词性而词形不变的方法叫做转化法。
1. 动词转化为名词
2. 名词转化为动词
3. 形容词转化为动词 4. 形容词转化为名词 5. 形容词转化为副词 6. 个别词在一定场合中可转化为名词 Warm clothes are a must in the mountains. 穿暖和的衣服到山区去是必须的。 Life is full of ups and downs. 人生有得意时也有失意时。 His argument contains too many ifs and buts. 他的辩论中含有太多的“如果”和“但是”。
由两个或两个以上的单词连在一起合成一个新词,这种构词法叫做合成法,合成的词叫做合成词。合成词一般看其词,知其意。 1. 合成名词 名词/代词 名词
newspaper blood-test she-wolf 动词 名词
