动词"to be"的肯定式缩写方式
本文章开始学习缩写和动词"to be"的关系。
我们先从动词"to be"的肯定式缩写开始,当我们讲英语的时候,我们有时会把两个单词当中的一个去掉并合二为一。
在书面英语中,被删除的字母被撇号代替:
I am → I'm
正如你所看到的,我们将放在一起的人称代词"I"和动词"to be"的"am"当中的动词"am"的第一个元音用撇号代替。
缩写方式不会出现在规范语言中,例如报纸或报道。但代表英式口语,可以在对话或小说中使用。
当然,在非正式书写中很常用,例如,写给朋友的信件。
现在,我们来看看动词"to be"的肯定式缩写句:
I am → I'm
You are → You're
He is → He's
She is → She's
It is → It's
We are → We're
You are → You're
They are → They're
动词"to be"的否定式缩写方式
现在,我们来看动词"to be"的否定式缩写方式。
在否定句中有两种缩写形式可以使用:
第一种:缩写形式是把"to be"和"not"放在一起,然后我们把"not"当中的"o"用撇号代替。
He is not. → He isn't.
第二种:缩写形式与在肯定式中的使用方法一致,但我们要在动词后面加上"not"。
He is not. → He's not.
这里你可以看到用在动词"to be"否定式中的两种缩写形式:
I am not → I'm not
You are not → You aren't → You 're not
He is not → He isn't → He's not
She is not → She isn't → She's not
It is not → It isn't → It's not
we are not → We aren't → We're not
You are not → You aren't → You're not
They are not → They aren't → They're not
其他的动词"to be"相关的缩写
现在我们来看看其他和动词"to be"相关的缩写 :
What is your name? → What's your name?
这里我们把"What"和动词"to be"放在一起并将动词的第一个元音用撇号代替使其形成缩写"What's" .
现在,再举另一个缩写的例子:
My name is Bill. → My name's Bill
这里,我们把单词"name"和动词"is"连在一起,然后再次将动词的第一个元音字母用撇号代替,形成"name's"的缩写形式。
现在看最后一个例子:
Who is the gril? → Who's the gril?
我们再次把单词"Who"和动词"is"连在一起,然后再将动词的第一个元音字母用撇号代替,形成"Who's"的缩写形式。
现在我们再看些和动词"to be"相关的缩写例句:

She is my wife. → She's my wife.
We are teachers. → We're teachers.
They are not Spanish. → They're not Spanish.
