一个英语句子中可以包含多个并列动词,但需符合英语语法规则。以下是具体说明:
一、并列谓语结构
基本规则 在简单句中, 只能有一个谓语动词
,但可以通过并列连词(如 and、 but、 or)连接多个谓语动词,形成并列谓语结构。例如:
- He got in, lied down, and waited for the morning.
- She always calculates, measures, and writes.
这种结构需用逗号分隔各个动作,且所有动作需与同一主语相关。
动词形式要求
并列谓语中的动词通常为 原形或过去分词,且时态需保持一致。例如:
- He started reading and finished his homework.(过去时)
二、其他包含多个动词的句式
非谓语动词与连系动词
可以通过连系动词(如 be、 seem、 become)连接名词性从句,从句中包含谓语动词。例如:
- What he said seemed true.(主句:seemed;从句:said)
- She became a teacher after graduating from college.(became为系动词,graduated为实义动词)
复杂句中的动词分布
在包含宾语从句、主语从句或定语从句的复合句中,主句与从句可分别包含谓语动词。例如:
- He broke the vase, and you had to pay to get it repaired.(主句:broke;从句:had to pay)
- The book, which I borrowed from the library, is very interesting.(主句:is;从句:borrowed)
三、注意事项
避免混淆: 并列谓语需通过逗号分隔,且动作需与同一主语相关; 时态统一
语义连贯:动作之间需存在逻辑关联,避免孤立使用。
综上, 一个句子中可以有3个并列的动词,但需通过并列连词连接且符合语法规则。
