英语语法:疑问句中介词在句首或句尾的用法
疑问代词
who(m), whose, what, which称为疑问代词,用于构成特殊疑问句。
5)疑问代词与介词的连用
如果谓语动词为“动词+介词”的介词动词,介词不能提到疑问句句首。例如:
What did they look at?
他们看到什么?
结构分析: they是主语,did look at是谓语,过去一般时,what是疑问代词,作宾语,变成提问句时,需要移到句首。
What good idea did you come up with?
你想到什么好主意?
结构分析: you是主语,did come up with是谓语,过去一般时,what good idea是疑问代词词组,作宾语,变成提问句时,需要移到句首。
但是,如果句中“介词+名词”起状语作用,非介词动词词组成部分,那么介词可以放在句末,也可能提到句首。例如:
他们和谁去公园?
With whom did they go to the park?
Who(m) did they go to the park with?
结构分析:they是主语,did go是谓语,过去一般时,to the park是目的状语,with whom是状语。
他们用什么割草?
With what did they cut grass?
What did they cut grass with?
结构分析:they是主语,did cut是谓语,过去一般时,grass是谓语,with what是状语。
下列表达习惯把介词置于句末:
What is the weather like today?
今天天气怎么样?
What is Sally up to now?
萨利现在在干什么?
What are you here for?
你来这儿干什么?
Could you show me a skirt? A green one, I mean.
