否定句形成方式否定句的基本形成方式就是在 be 動詞和助動

詞之後加上 not 例如： This is KFC. This is not KFC. He loves me. He doesn't love me. He

loves me. He doesn't love me. 注意： can + not --> cannot/ can't will + not --> won't shall + not --> shan't

counter. The boy can’t reach the food on the

counter. That machine has worked properly for

years. That machine has not worked properly

for years.


祈使句的否定例如： Don't tell him our secret. Let's not lose faith in ourselves. 注意： Let + O + V 為普通的祈使句，因此否定句

為 Don't let + O + V 喔！ Don't let him escape!

Don’t

個都有過，只有一個有過 ) = One of my cousins passed the GEPT. Neither of my cousins passed the GEPT. ( 兩個都沒

過 )


雙重否定所謂負負得正，兩個否定就會變肯定，但通

常是用來強調，且在理解上較複雜，沒必要就不要亂用。例如有人要是說：「我不是不喜歡跟你出去」，雖然你稍微想一下就可以懂他的意思，就是他可以接受跟你出去這件事，但他可能也沒有很喜歡，才會用這種複雜的講法。

倒裝句形成方式倒裝句的形式：倒裝句原則為將助動詞或動

詞移至主詞前方倒裝句的功用：英文中，每句話的主題是放

在句首，後面再接新的話題，若要改變英語的詞序，多半是因為› 為談話內容的展開加上變化，也就是在一開始先

製造驚奇、強調句首，或把關鍵詞彙擺在後面› 音調的關係

倒裝句的分類：強調補語、強調受詞、強調副詞
