不规则动词,英语动词按其过去式和过去分词的构成方式可分为规则动词和不规则动词。规则动词的过去式和过去分词由词尾加-ed构成,结尾是e时,只加d,结尾是y时,将y改为ied。而不规则动词的变化因词而异。
英语单词中由动词原形转变为过去式和过去分词时不按词尾加“-ed”之变化规则者叫做不规则动词(irregular verbs)。
现代英语新生成的动词都归入“-ed”的规则变化,例如:
park→parked (停车——1864)
fax→faxed (以传真传送——1979)
e-mail→e-mailed (以电脑网络传送——1982)
(所附年次为最早用例出现年次——O.E.D.)
因此,不规则动词可以说都是古英语动词的不规则变化因其常用度很高而一直沿用到今天者,所以我们今天在学习英语时绝对无法规避,也不可能规避这些不规则动词。
从英语的演变来看,不规则动词就是强势动词(strong verbs)--即其词形变化全依其本身之语音(尤其是元音)变化来进行而不借助词尾的变化。例如:
我们学习不规则动词的时候,最有效的方法就是要针对这种词形变化的现象,了解其变化的型式,发出声音背念,使其能自然地融入我们的speaking和writing,这样才能说确实地把不规则动词学会了。
注:与强势动词相对,须借助“-ed”之词尾来进行词形变化的规则动词就叫做弱势动词(weak verbs)。
现在式、过去式和过去分词同形,保持不变,除进行式外
词例:
注:read的过去式和过去分词的读音与动词原型的读音不同。
现在式和过去式同形
词例:
现在式和过去分词同形
词例:
过去式与过去分词同形
分为以下情形:
词例:
② 把动词原形的最后一个辅音字母“d”改为“t”。
词例:
③ 其他不规则的各种变化。
词例:
三词不同形,分为以下情形:
① 在动词原形后加-n或-en 构成过去分词 。
② 过去式加-n或-en构成过去分词。
③ 把单词在重读音节中的元音字母“i”变成“a”(过去式)和“u”(过去分词)。
