一、如何学习英语语法
英语语法亦即英语的语言法则,是英语语言特点的反映。中国人学英语不能采取英美人学英语的方法,因为与英文差别极大的中文在我们的头脑中已深深扎根了。适当研究英语语法,对比两种语言的差异,就能使我们更快更好地掌握英语的特点,从而迅速提高英语听说读写的能力。对钻研语法,高三学生不要有什么怀疑,这不单是为了应试,也是为今后向更高层次发展打基础。建议在学习语法时注意以下几点:
1.弄清知识网络。英语语法可分为两部分,即词法和句法。词法研究十大词类(名,代,数,冠,形,副,介,连,动,感叹)。句法研究关于句子的六项知识(如各种从句,主谓一致等)。两个附加部分是语音知识和构词法。
2.关于动词的知识是重点的知识。
3.记住语法规则,背会例句。学语法光懂了不行,必须得会用,而会用的前提则是背会反映这一规则的例句。可以说,没有死背,就没有活用。
4. 在使用英语的实践中学习语法。平时要把主要的时间花在英语的听说读写上,在使用中体会语法规则,在使用中加深理解,在使用中融会贯通。If you are always sensitive, you will be exact in English.
5. 做题有好处。单项填空,改错等都可以强化对语法规则的掌握。但不可过量。学英语的主要时间还是应该花在不断地听说读写上。
6. 英语语法并不能解释所有语言现象,有些不符合语法规则的用法可以称之为惯用法。这些东西会模仿就行了,不必非要弄明白为什么。
7. 适量适度学语法,不可投入主要精力钻研语法,不可死扣语法的细枝末节。只有那些坚持使用英语的实践,同时又掌握了语法规则的人,才有可能成为英语学习的强者。
