所以我們學語法不能被所謂的terms(術語)框住,要think out of the box(跳出思維的框框來思考問題)。
Try to use words naturally, and the only key to your success in terms of learning English as a second language is to keep consulting dictionaries and also at the same time keep reading example sentences again and again. Those example sentences will teach you how to organize those words in an orderly way.
連繫動詞,也稱“系動詞”。英文稱作Linking Verb,是一種不完全不及物動詞。
例如look(看起來)、taste(嚐起來)、smell(聞起來)、sound(聽起來)、feel(感覺起來)等都是連繫動詞。連繫動詞必須接名詞或形容詞作主語補足語,否則意思會不完全。
例如不能說I feel.,這是不對的,必須說成類似以下這樣的句子:
I feel very comfortable.(我感到很舒服。)
He feels very cool.(他感到很冷。)
He seems to have caught a cold.(他看起來得了感冒。)
seem 是連繫動詞,還有become 也是,例如He became crazy.(他變得很瘋狂。),這些連繫動詞的後面都必須接名詞或形容詞做主語補足語。
不過,我們在學語法的過程中,不必瞭解某個動詞是否為連繫動詞,而只需要學會其用法,這才是學習英文的正確方法。
例如be 動詞(也是連繫動詞的一種)的用法:
He is a student.(他是個學生。)
He is in Beijing.(他在北京。)
I"m in Taiwan.(我在臺灣。)
be 動詞後面若是接形容詞時,is 不用翻譯出來;但若是接名詞時,is 要翻譯成“是”;而後面若是接表“地點”的名詞時,is 就要翻譯成“在”。
實義動詞(notional verb)本身指的是一般的動詞,
例如:
He dances.(他跳舞。)
He sings very well.(他唱歌唱得很好。)
這些動詞後面接副詞,作狀語修飾前面的動詞,或作及物動詞,例如I love you.,後面要接賓語。
我們在學語法時,常常被這些連繫動詞、使役動詞等各種實義動詞弄得似乎永遠無法搞懂,其實我們只需改變方法,知道這些動詞後面應該要接什麼,自然就學會了。例如:
I required him to do something.(我要求他去做某事。)
I asked him to do it.(我要求他去做。)
I ordered him to leave.(我命令他離開。)
所以我們學語法不能被所謂的terms(術語)框住,要think out of the box(跳出思維的框框來思考問題)。

(學習時嘗試自然的運用詞語,同時,學英語成功的關鍵在於不斷地查字典,更要一直不斷地看例句。這些例句會教你如何按照語序來組織語言。)
如果你問老外什麼是Linking Verb,他們大多數都不知道是什麼,所以我們其實也不必糾結於什麼是連繫動詞,只需要大量閱讀,學會用法,最後學會collocation(字詞搭配),英語一定能學好,祝你成功!
