资源描述
had better(常简略为d better)是一固定词组,had better最好,用于表示对别人的劝告、建议或表示一种愿望。其用法有以下几点:一、had better后面必须跟动词原形。had better后跟动词原形(即不带to的不定式),构成had better do sth.句型。这里的had不能用have来替换。如:Youd better go to hospital at once.你最好立即去医院看病。Tom, youd better go there today.汤姆,你最好今天去那儿。二、主语不论是第几人称,句子不论是什么时态,都要用had better的形式。如:Now you(he,we) had better listen to the teacher.你(他,我们)现在最好听老师讲。三、had better可用于的时态。1.had better用于指现在。如:Now you had better listen to the radio.你现在最好听收音机。You had better be quiet.你最好安静一些。2.had better用于指将来。如:You had better start tomorrow.你最好明天动身。We had better buy the more expensive one. It will last much longer and so it will be cheaper in the end.我们最好还是买贵些的,它更经久耐用,所以到头来,它还是更便宜些。3.had better用于进行式,表示讲话人提出建议时,动作正在进行。如:We had better be watching the TV play.我们最好现在就看到电视剧。We had better be starting back now.我们最好现在就动身回去。4.had better + have + V-ed可表示本该做而没有做的事。如:You had better have done it .如果你把那件事办妥就好了。(但实际上你没有那样做)You had better have stayed with us .要是当时你和我们呆在一起多好啊。(实际上没有)四、had better的否定式。如:常用的否定形式是将否定副词not直接放在had better的后面。如:You had better not miss the last bus.你最好不要错过末班公共汽车。You had better not leave for Nanjing the day after tomorrow.你最好后天不要动身去南京。注意:否定副词not绝不能放在had的后面。如:不能说:You hadnt better go.而应该说:You had better not go.五、had better的疑问式。had better通常不以普通疑问句的形式出现。但有时用于否定疑问句,常用Hadnt+主语+better.?结构,作为一种劝告形式,比肯定形式的语气更婉转一些。如:Hadnt you better take an umbrella?你不认为该带一把伞吗? Hadnt you better ask him first?你不认为该先问问他吗?六、had better在反意疑问句中。在反意疑问句中,疑问部分一般用had+主语?,但有时可用will you?表示一种请求或建议。如:Youd better not go out today, had you? 今天你最好不要外出,好吗?I must stay at home this afternoon. You had better come to my house, will you?今天下午我必须留在家里,你最好来我家,好吗?七、在祈使句中,had有时可以省略。如:Better not do it .最好别做那事。Better not wait for them.最好不要等他们。八、had better的被动式。You had better do it.-It had better be done.You had better have done it.-It had better have been done.九、had better在间接引语中的用法。在直接引语变为间接引语的过程中,had better同第一人称或第三人称连用时,保持不变;had better同第二人称连用时,可以保持不变,也可用advise+宾语+不定式(宾补)来表示。如:He said, Ann had better hurry.-He said (that) Ann had better hurry.He said, I had better hurry.-He said (that) he had better hurry.He said to me, You had better hurry. -He said (that) I had better hurry.-He advised me to hurry. 十、had better在表示对别人劝告、建议时,不宜用于与陌生人、长辈及上级的交谈中。对长辈说话时,最好不用had better。比较有礼貌的说法是:It might be better for you.;It would be better for you.。如:It might be better for you to help me,Grandpa.爷爷,您最好能帮我一下。练习下列各句都有一处错误,请改正。1.Youd better to wait for me at the school gate.2.I have better write to him now.3.You had not better go there. 参考答案:1.去掉to。2.have应改为had。3.将not置于better后面。
