英语祈使句详解
1. 祈使句的概念
表示请求、命令、建议、祝愿、邀请或要求的句子叫祈使句。用于祈使句句首的动词总是用原形,不能用其他形式。如:
Shut the door! 把门关上!
Have a cup of coffee! 喝杯咖啡吧!
Let them go by train. 叫他们坐火车去吧。
祈使句的主语通常为第二人称(you),但一般都被省略,只有在特殊的情况下才把主语(you)补充出来。如:
You be quiet! 你安静!
You go and tell him, Chris. 克立斯,你去告诉他。
You wait here for a moment. 你在这儿等一会儿。
有时祈使句的主语也可以是everybody, somebody, anybody, nobody等不定代词。如:
Stand up, everybody! 全体起立!
Nobody move. 任何人都不许动。
2. 祈使句表示强调
为了加强祈使句的语气,我们通常是在祈使句的动词原形前加上助动词do,此时通常译为“一定”“务必”等。如:
Do be careful. 务必要小心。
Do have some more tea. 一定再喝点茶。
Do let me go. 一定让我去。
副词never和always有时可用于祈使句句首,表示强调。如:
Never do that again. 再不要这样做了。
Always look in the mirror before starting to drive. 一定要先看看反光镜再开车。
3. 祈使句的否定式
构成祈使句否定式的方法很简单,那就是在动词原形前加don’t——不管祈使句所用的动词为什么性质动词,情况都是一样。如:
Open the window. 把窗户打开。
→Don’t open the window. 别把窗户打开。
Come next Monday. 下周星期一来。
→Don’t come next Monday. 下周星期一别来。
对于以let us或let’s开头的祈使句,其否定式通常是在不定式之前放一个not。如:
Let’s tell him the truth. 我们把实情告诉他吧。
→Let’s not tell him the truth. 我们不要把实情告诉他。
但在日常口语中,我们也可以把don’t放在let’s之前。如:
Let’s don’t tell him the truth. 我们不要把实情告诉他)
4. 祈使句与连用please
为了使祈使句的语气变得委婉,我们可以在祈使句的句首或句末加上please——若加在句首,其后不用逗号;若加在句末,则通常会在please前加一个逗号。如:
Step this way, please. 请这边走。
Please type your letter. 请把你的信打出来。
Open the window, please. 请把窗户打开。
如果是否定祈使句,则通常将please加在don’t之前。如:
Please don’t get angry. 请不要生气。
Please don’t telephone before 8 a. m. 早8点以前请不要打电话。
5. 祈使句的时间概念
祈使句所表示的时间总是指将来,所以与它连用的句子原则上要用将来时态来与它呼应。如:
Give me a hand, will you? 帮我一个忙,好吗?
由于give me a hand表示隐含将来意义,所以句中的will you 不能改为do you。
Try again and you will succeed. 你再试就会成功。
由于句中的try again隐含将来意义,所以句中用了you will succeed,而不是you succeed。
Don’t do that again or you’ll be in trouble. 别再干那个了,否则你会有麻烦。
句中的don’t do that again指的是以后不要再干那事了,由于隐含有将来意义,所所以句中用了you’ll be in trouble,而没有用you are in trouble。
6. 祈使句的省略
一般说来,祈使句总是要以动词原形开头,但是,在某些特殊情况下,我们可以只用一个词或短语来表示祈使句的意义。如:
Just a few please. 请给几个就行了。
A little more slowly please. 再慢一点。
A pound of butter. 给我一磅黄油。
Two teas and four coffees, please. 请来两杯茶和四杯咖啡。
助动词 do 在祈使句中的强调用法
有时可在祈使句前加上助动词do (常重读),以表示说话人想特别强调他所说的话。这样用的祈使句具有以下用法:
1. 表示强调的请求。如:
Do come with us. 请一定要和我们一起去。
Please! Do be quiet a moment! 求求你们! 安静一会儿!
2. 表示委婉或客气。如:
Do try this fish. 请尝尝这鱼。
Do have another cup of coffee. 请再喝杯咖啡吧。
3. 表示不耐烦。如:
Do stop talking! 别说啦!
4. 希望说服对方。如:
Do help me with this maths problem. 务请帮我解答这道数学题。
someone和nobody等用作祈使句主语
有时因为语义的需要,someone, nobody, everybody 等也可用作祈使句主语。如:
Nobody say a word! 都不许说话!
Someone fetch a pail of water. 谁去打一桶水来。
Someone go and see who it is. 谁去看看是什么人来了。
Somebody answer the phone please. 请来个人接电话。
Everybody sit down and let’s have a drink. 大家坐下来喝一杯吧!
有时用作祈使句主语的还可以特定的某人。如:
The boy in the corner come here. 在角落的那个男孩来这里吧!
这类句子有时也可以是否定的。如:
Don’t anybody get out of here. 大家都别出去!
祈使句何时可以保留主语you
祈使句的主语通常为第二人称(you),但一般都被省略的。但以下两种情况可以保留主语you:
第1情况
为了有所区分,祈使句可以保留主语 you。如:
You go on; I’ll wait. 你们先走,我等着。
You wait here for a moment. 你在这儿等一会儿。
You girls stand in the front row. 你们女孩子站在前排。
You play Romeo and you play Juliet. 你演罗蜜欧,你演朱丽叶。
You wait here, Jim, and Mary, you wait there. 你等在这儿,吉姆;玛丽,你等在那儿。
第2种情况
为了表示生气或有意表示无礼,祈使句可以保留主语 you。如:
You be quiet! 你给我安静!
You stop talking. 你给住嘴。
You get out of here! 你给我滚出去。
You do it right away. 你给我马上就去做。
let us 与 let’s
let us 的 us 既可指说话者一方(此时表示请求或命令),也可以指说话者和听话者双方(此时表示建议或劝诱,此用法在语体上较正式);而 let’s 中的’s(=us) 则只能指说话者和听话者双方(表示建议或劝诱),不能指说话者一方(即不能用来表示命令或请求)。比较:
让我们告诉你我们在博物馆里看到的情况。
误:Let’s tell you what we saw in the museum.
正:Let us tell you what we saw in the museum.
我们做朋友吧。
正:Let’s be friends.(较口语化)
正:Let us be friends.(较正式)
在反意问句中,表示请求或命令时,用 will you;表示建议或劝诱时,用 shall we。如:
我们一起去游泳好吗?
正:Let’s go swimming together, shall we?(较口语化)
正:Let us go swimming together, shall we?(较正式)
让我们跟你一起去好吗?
正:Let us go with you, will you?
误:Let’s go with you, will you [shall we]?
let’s 的否定式可以是 let’s not, don’t let’s。如:
Let’s not hurry. / Don’t let’s hurry. 我们不要太急。
祈使句的动词可以是被动的吗
]有时可以,但比较少见。如:
Don’t be fooled by his appearance. 不要为他的外表所欺骗了。
Don’t be taken in by his promises. 别被他的诺言所欺骗。
Don’t be stampeded into buying the house. 不要一时冲动买下这所房子。
有时don’t 后接的“be+过去分词”不是被动式,而是系表结构。如:
Don’t be discouraged. 不要气馁。
祈使句备考注意
1. 祈使句主要用于提出请求,发出邀请,给予指示、忠告或警告,也可发出命令等。
2.祈使句的特点是:一般不出现主语(you),但有时为了指明向谁请求或命令,也可以说出主语;谓语动词一律用原形;否定式一律在动词前面加 don’t。如:
Come this way, madam. 这边走,夫人。
Don’t lose the key. 别把钥匙丢了。
Someone fetch a pail of water. 谁去打一桶水来。
3. 有关祈使句最可能涉及的考点是:祈使句带主语以及“祈使句+and / then / or+陈述句”这一句型(祈使句表示条件)。另外,祈使句与反意疑问句一起考查也是高考一大特点。如:
Let’s phone her now, shall we? 我们现在就给她打电话,好吗?
You girls stand in the front row, will you? 你们女孩子站在前排,好吗?
Work hard, and you’ll pass the exam. 努力点,你会通过考试的。
请做以下试题:
(1) Jim, you go there to help him, _______?
A. do you B. will you C. are you D. have you
答案选B。句首的呼语 Jim 清楚地表明这一个祈使句,只是其前带了主语而已。
(2) ________ me back my money, or I’ll ring the police.
A. Giving B. Given C. Give D. To give
答案选C。填空处为祈使句谓语,故用动词原形。
学习祈使句的几个基本要点
一、祈使句的概念和一般形式
表示请求、命令等的句子叫祈使句。它的主语是听话人(you) ,一般不需要说出来。通常以动词原形开头。祈使句末尾用惊叹号或句号,句子用降调。如:
Open the door, please. 请把门打开。
Be quiet, boys. 孩子们,安静点。
Hurry up!快点跟上。
但有时为了指明向谁请求或发出命袋子令,也可说出主语来。如:
Alice, you close your book. 艾丽期,请你把书关上。
二、祈使句的否定式
祈使句的否定式是在动词原形前加don’t。如:
Don’t be late again. 不要再迟到了(www.yygrammar.com)。
Please don’t forget to take your medicine. 请不要忘记吃药。
Don’t let’s quarrel about it. (=Let’s not quarrel about it. ) 我们不要为此事争吵了。
三、祈使句的强调式
Do be on time. 务必准时。
Do come early. 务必早点来。
四、区分let’s与let us /sb.
Please let him in. 请让他进去。
—Let’s go swimming, shall we? 我们去游泳,好吗?
—No, let’s not. /Yes, let’s. 不要去了。/我们去吧。
—Let us go swimming, will you? 请你让我们去游泳,好吗?
—No, you’d better not. 你们最好别去。
不要混淆祈使句与非谓语动词
有这样一道语法考题,该用动词原形?还是用非谓语动词?
_________ the road round to the right and you’ll find his house.
A. Follow B. Following C. To follow D. Followed
【分析】此题容易误选B或C,许多同学一看选项就想当然地认为,选现在分词表示时间或伴随,选不定式表目的。此题的关键是要注意句中的连词and,它表明整个句子是一个并列句,即 and 前后应各是一个独立的句子,而不应是一个非谓语形式的短语,所以此题的正确答案应选A,即 and 前是一个祈使句。比较以下两题:
(1) _________ the road round to the right, she found his house.
A. Follow B. Following C. To follow D. Followed
【分析】此题应选B,现在分词短语表时间。
(2) _________ the road round to the right, the blind man asked a boy to guide him.
A. Follow B. Following C. To follow D. Followed
【分析】此题应选C,不定式短语表目的。
注意以下各题均应选A,均因为句中的并列连词 and(填空句为祈使句):
(1) _________ the milk and set a good example to the other children.
A. Drink B. To drink C. Drinking D. Having drinking
(2) _________ me, and don’t just stand there laughing.

A. Look B. Looking C. To look D. Having looked
(5) _________ it with me and I’ll see what I can do.
A. Leave B. Leaving C. If you leave D. When left
注:有时可能不用连词,而用破折号(答案均选B,填空句为祈使句)。如:
(1) _________ down the radio — the baby’s asleep in the next room.
A. Turning B. Turn C. Turned D. To turn
(2) _________ some of this juice — perhaps you will like it.
A. Trying B. Try C. To try D. Having tried
以下各题也应选A,是因为句中的从属连词 when, before, until 等(填空句为祈使句):
(1) _________ left when you get to the end of the street.
A. Keep B. Keeping C. To keep D. Kept
(2) _________ you hand over your mouth when you cough.

(5) To test eggs, _________ them in a bowl of water: if they float they’re bad, if they sink they’re good.
A. put B. putting C. to put D. to be putting
但是,以下各题情形有所不同,所填部分为目的状语(用不定式,即答案均为B):
(1) _________ late in the morning, Bob turned off the alarm.
A. Sleep B. To sleep C. Sleeping D. Having slept
(2) _________ the early bus, Mr Smith got up at six.
A. Catch B. To catch C. Catching D. Having caught

Help! 救人哟!
Fire! 失火了!
Patience! 要有耐心!
Careful! 小心!
Quickly! 快!

“be+过去分词”用于祈使句
be可以和少数过去分词连用,用于祈使句当中。如:
Be prepared! 准备好!
Please be seated! (请)坐下!

试比较:
Get washed! 去洗一洗!
注:祈使句偶尔也用进行式,即 be 后接现在分词。如:

“be+形容词”用于祈使句
只有表示一时的行为的形容词才可用于be / don’t be之后,如careful / careless, patient / impatient, quiet, silly等(be / don’t be通常不可与指状态的形容词连用,如hungry / thirsty, pretty)。如:
Be quiet! 安静点!
Don’t be silly! 不要发傻!
Do be patient. 一定要有耐心。

“be+名词”用于祈使句
■许多“be (肯定式) +名词”结构是习惯用法
Be a man! 要做个男子汉!
Be an angel and fetch me my slippers please. 请行行好,把我的拖鞋拿来。
Go on! Have another slice! Be a devil! 继续吃呀! 再来一片! 放开吃!
■否定式的“Don’t be+名词”结构要常用得多,往往与(愚蠢的)行为有关。如:
Don’t be an ass / a clown / a fool / an idiot! 别当傻瓜 / 小丑 / 笨蛋 / 白痴!
■请注意:“be+形容词+名词”结构:
Be a good girl at sch001.Don’t be a silly idiot! 在学校你要做个好姑娘。别当个傻瓜!
■be可以表示“成为”之义,尤其在广告中发。如:
Be a better cook! Be the envy of your friends! 你可当个好厨师! 你可成为你的朋友们羡慕的对象!
■否定式don’t be (=don’t become) 常用于劝告。如:
Don’t be a racing driver! It’s So dangerous. 别当赛车运动员!太危险了。
■be还可以意谓“装作”,特别是用在you后面。如:
(You) be the fairy godmother and I’ll be Cinderella. 你装仙姑,我装灰姑娘。
Be a monster, granddad! 爷爷,你装个妖怪!
■要注意类似下面这样的用法:
Now be yourself again! 现在可再显出你的本色了!
对特定的人使用的祈使句
祈使句如Wait here! (在这儿等着!) 可以是对一个人说,也可以是对几个人说,其主语暗含you。但我们却可以用下列方式引起我们说话的对象的注意:
■You+祈使语气动词
You wait here for a moment. 你在这儿等一会儿。
语调和重音很重要。在上面这一句里,如果不重读you, 那么句子的意思是this is where you wait (这就是你应等着的地方);如果重读you, 那么句子的意思就是this is what I want you to do (这是我要你做的事)。此外,重读you时还可以表示愤怒、敌意或不客气。如:

学习祈使句应的五个要点
祈使句是表示请求、命令、劝告、祝愿或建议的句子。祈使句的主语一般为第二人称,但往往省去不用。同学们在学习祈使句时应注意以下几点:
一、祈使句谓语用何动词形式
英语祈使句的谓语总是用动词原形。如:
Be quiet! 别说话!
Come earlier next time. 下次早点来。
Have a good time. 愿你玩得痛快。
Go and tell her. 去告诉她吧。
注:有时为了加强语气,可在动词前加do。如:
Do be careful. 务请小心。
Do come on time. 务必请准时来。
二、肯定祈使句如何变成否定祈使句
祈使句否定式的构成方法是在动词原形前加don’t:
Don’t be late. 不要迟到。
Don’t speak so loud. 别这么大声说话。
Don’t walk on the grass. 不要在草坪上走。
Don’t lose the key. 别把钥匙丢了。
Don’t come unless I telephone. 除非我打电话,否则你别来。
三、与please连用以使语气委婉
为使语气委婉,通常将祈使句与please连用。Please可用于祈使句的句首(其后通常不用逗号)或句末(其前通常用逗号)。如:
Please don’t get angry. 请不要生气。
Please drive more slowly. 请开得慢一点。
Please cut me a piece of cake. 请给我切一块蛋糕。
Please try to be quiet. 请设法保持安静。
Please repeat what you’ve just said. 请把你刚才说的话重复一遍。
四、关于以let开头的祈使句
Let’s eat out tonight. 我们今晚出去吃饭吧。
Let me have a try. 我来试一试。
Let me show you how to do it. 我来告诉你怎样做。
Let every man do his best. 让每个人人尽其才。
Let the meat cook slowly. 把肉用慢火炖。
注意:
1. 这类祈使句的否定式有两种形式。如:
Let’s not hurry. / Don’t let’s hurry. 我们不要太急。
2. let后用作宾语补足语的动词要用原形,不能用带to的不定式。
五、祈使句的反意疑问句形式
1. 在通常情况下,若陈述部分为祈使句,反意疑问句通常用will you, won’t you, would you等。如:
Turn on the TV, will you? 把电视打开,好吗?
Tell me the truth, won’t you? 告诉我实话,好吗?
If you want help, let me know, would you? 如果你需要帮助,告诉我,好吗?
注:若陈述部分为否定式,则反意疑问句部分只用will you。如:
Don’t forget to post the letter, will you? 请别忘了寄信。
2. 若陈述部分为以 let开头的祈使句,则要分两种情况:
(1) 表示请求时,用will you?
Let me do it for you, will you? 让我替你做,好吗?
Let us know your address, will you? 把你的地址告诉我们吧,好吗?
(2) 表示建议时,用shall we?
Let’s go swimming together, shall we? 我们一起去游泳好吗?
Let’s all sit under this tree, shall we? 咱们都坐在这棵树下,好不好?
祈使句如何变为否定句
一、一般情况
一般说来,祈使句的否定是在祈使句首加Don’t。如:
(1) Come here. —Don’t come here. 不要来这儿。
(2) Be angry. —Don’t be angry. 不要生气
二、let型
当祈使句表示邀请或建议(Let’s…) 时,则在Let’s与 do之间加not。如:
(1) Let’s talk about it. —Let’s not talk about it. 我们别谈论它吧。
(2) Let’s go swimming there. —Let’s not go swimming there. 我们别去那里游泳吧。
三、无动词型
无动词祈使句的否定:在无动词祈使句的句首加not。如:
(1) Here? — Not here. 不是这里。
(2) Green?—Not green. 不是绿色的。
(3) This one? — Not this one. 不是这个。
祈使句如何变为反意疑问句
一、基本原则
若陈述部分为祈使句,反意问句通常用will you, won't you, would you等。如:
Mail the letter today, will you? 今天就把信发掉,好吗?
Try to be back by two, won't you? 设法两点之前回来,好吗?
注:若陈述部分为否定式,则反意问句部分只用will you。如:
Don't forget to post the letter, will you? 请别忘了寄信。
有时根据语境的需要,反意问句也可以用can you, can't you 等:
Give me some cigarettes, can you? 给我些香烟,可以吗?
Walk faster, can't you? 走快点,不行吗?
二、let型
1. 当祈使句为Let's…时:反意问句总是用 shall we。如:
Let's phone her now, shall we? 我们现在就给她打电话,好吗?
Let's go to the cinema tonight, shall we? 今晚咱们去看电影,好吗?
2. 当祈使句为Let us…时:若表示请求,反意问句用will you;若表示表示建议,则用 shall we。如:
Let us know your address, will you? 请把你的地址告诉我们,好吗?
Let us go swimming together, shall we? 我们一起去游泳好吗?
注:let's…只表示建议,所以其后反意问句总是用shall we。而let us…既可表示建议请求,也可表示建议(较正式),其后的反意问句要根据这两种不同情况分别使用will you和shall we。
英语祈使句详解
1. 祈使句的概念
表示请求、命令、建议、祝愿、邀请或要求的句子叫祈使句。用于祈使句句首的动词总是用原形,不能用其他形式。如:
Shut the door! 把门关上!
Have a cup of coffee! 喝杯咖啡吧!
Let them go by train. 叫他们坐火车去吧。
祈使句的主语通常为第二人称(you),但一般都被省略,只有在特殊的情况下才把主语(you)补充出来。如:
You be quiet! 你安静!
You go and tell him, Chris. 克立斯,你去告诉他。
You wait here for a moment. 你在这儿等一会儿。
有时祈使句的主语也可以是everybody, somebody, anybody, nobody等不定代词。如:
Stand up, everybody! 全体起立!
Nobody move. 任何人都不许动。
2. 祈使句表示强调
为了加强祈使句的语气,我们通常是在祈使句的动词原形前加上助动词do,此时通常译为“一定”“务必”等。如:
Do be careful. 务必要小心。
Do have some more tea. 一定再喝点茶。
Do let me go. 一定让我去。
副词never和always有时可用于祈使句句首,表示强调。如:
Never do that again. 再不要这样做了。
Always look in the mirror before starting to drive. 一定要先看看反光镜再开车。
3. 祈使句的否定式
构成祈使句否定式的方法很简单,那就是在动词原形前加don’t——不管祈使句所用的动词为什么性质动词,情况都是一样。如:
Open the window. 把窗户打开。
→Don’t open the window. 别把窗户打开。
Come next Monday. 下周星期一来。
→Don’t come next Monday. 下周星期一别来。
对于以let us或let’s开头的祈使句,其否定式通常是在不定式之前放一个not。如:
Let’s tell him the truth. 我们把实情告诉他吧。
→Let’s not tell him the truth. 我们不要把实情告诉他。
但在日常口语中,我们也可以把don’t放在let’s之前。如:
Let’s don’t tell him the truth. 我们不要把实情告诉他)
4. 祈使句与连用please
为了使祈使句的语气变得委婉,我们可以在祈使句的句首或句末加上please——若加在句首,其后不用逗号;若加在句末,则通常会在please前加一个逗号。如:
Step this way, please. 请这边走。
Please type your letter. 请把你的信打出来。
Open the window, please. 请把窗户打开。
如果是否定祈使句,则通常将please加在don’t之前。如:
Please don’t get angry. 请不要生气。
Please don’t telephone before 8 a. m. 早8点以前请不要打电话。
5. 祈使句的时间概念
祈使句所表示的时间总是指将来,所以与它连用的句子原则上要用将来时态来与它呼应。如:
Give me a hand, will you? 帮我一个忙,好吗?
由于give me a hand表示隐含将来意义,所以句中的will you 不能改为do you。
Try again and you will succeed. 你再试就会成功。
由于句中的try again隐含将来意义,所以句中用了you will succeed,而不是you succeed。
Don’t do that again or you’ll be in trouble. 别再干那个了,否则你会有麻烦。
句中的don’t do that again指的是以后不要再干那事了,由于隐含有将来意义,所所以句中用了you’ll be in trouble,而没有用you are in trouble。
6. 祈使句的省略
一般说来,祈使句总是要以动词原形开头,但是,在某些特殊情况下,我们可以只用一个词或短语来表示祈使句的意义。如:
Just a few please. 请给几个就行了。
A little more slowly please. 再慢一点。
A pound of butter. 给我一磅黄油。
Two teas and four coffees, please. 请来两杯茶和四杯咖啡。
助动词 do 在祈使句中的强调用法
有时可在祈使句前加上助动词do (常重读),以表示说话人想特别强调他所说的话。这样用的祈使句具有以下用法:
1. 表示强调的请求。如:
Do come with us. 请一定要和我们一起去。
Please! Do be quiet a moment! 求求你们! 安静一会儿!
2. 表示委婉或客气。如:
Do try this fish. 请尝尝这鱼。
Do have another cup of coffee. 请再喝杯咖啡吧。
3. 表示不耐烦。如:
Do stop talking! 别说啦!
4. 希望说服对方。如:
Do help me with this maths problem. 务请帮我解答这道数学题。
someone和nobody等用作祈使句主语
有时因为语义的需要,someone, nobody, everybody 等也可用作祈使句主语。如:
Nobody say a word! 都不许说话!
Someone fetch a pail of water. 谁去打一桶水来。
Someone go and see who it is. 谁去看看是什么人来了。
Somebody answer the phone please. 请来个人接电话。
Everybody sit down and let’s have a drink. 大家坐下来喝一杯吧!
有时用作祈使句主语的还可以特定的某人。如:
The boy in the corner come here. 在角落的那个男孩来这里吧!
这类句子有时也可以是否定的。如:
Don’t anybody get out of here. 大家都别出去!
祈使句何时可以保留主语you
祈使句的主语通常为第二人称(you),但一般都被省略的。但以下两种情况可以保留主语you:
第1情况
为了有所区分,祈使句可以保留主语 you。如:
You go on; I’ll wait. 你们先走,我等着。
You wait here for a moment. 你在这儿等一会儿。
You girls stand in the front row. 你们女孩子站在前排。
You play Romeo and you play Juliet. 你演罗蜜欧,你演朱丽叶。
You wait here, Jim, and Mary, you wait there. 你等在这儿,吉姆;玛丽,你等在那儿。
第2种情况
为了表示生气或有意表示无礼,祈使句可以保留主语 you。如:
You be quiet! 你给我安静!
You stop talking. 你给住嘴。
You get out of here! 你给我滚出去。
You do it right away. 你给我马上就去做。
let us 与 let’s
let us 的 us 既可指说话者一方(此时表示请求或命令),也可以指说话者和听话者双方(此时表示建议或劝诱,此用法在语体上较正式);而 let’s 中的’s(=us) 则只能指说话者和听话者双方(表示建议或劝诱),不能指说话者一方(即不能用来表示命令或请求)。比较:
让我们告诉你我们在博物馆里看到的情况。
误:Let’s tell you what we saw in the museum.
正:Let us tell you what we saw in the museum.
我们做朋友吧。
正:Let’s be friends.(较口语化)
正:Let us be friends.(较正式)
在反意问句中,表示请求或命令时,用 will you;表示建议或劝诱时,用 shall we。如:
我们一起去游泳好吗?
正:Let’s go swimming together, shall we?(较口语化)
正:Let us go swimming together, shall we?(较正式)
让我们跟你一起去好吗?
正:Let us go with you, will you?
误:Let’s go with you, will you [shall we]?
let’s 的否定式可以是 let’s not, don’t let’s。如:
Let’s not hurry. / Don’t let’s hurry. 我们不要太急。
祈使句的动词可以是被动的吗
]有时可以,但比较少见。如:
Don’t be fooled by his appearance. 不要为他的外表所欺骗了。
Don’t be taken in by his promises. 别被他的诺言所欺骗。
Don’t be stampeded into buying the house. 不要一时冲动买下这所房子。
有时don’t 后接的“be+过去分词”不是被动式,而是系表结构。如:
Don’t be discouraged. 不要气馁。
祈使句备考注意
1. 祈使句主要用于提出请求,发出邀请,给予指示、忠告或警告,也可发出命令等。
2.祈使句的特点是:一般不出现主语(you),但有时为了指明向谁请求或命令,也可以说出主语;谓语动词一律用原形;否定式一律在动词前面加 don’t。如:
Come this way, madam. 这边走,夫人。
Don’t lose the key. 别把钥匙丢了。
Someone fetch a pail of water. 谁去打一桶水来。
3. 有关祈使句最可能涉及的考点是:祈使句带主语以及“祈使句+and / then / or+陈述句”这一句型(祈使句表示条件)。另外,祈使句与反意疑问句一起考查也是高考一大特点。如:
Let’s phone her now, shall we? 我们现在就给她打电话,好吗?
You girls stand in the front row, will you? 你们女孩子站在前排,好吗?
Work hard, and you’ll pass the exam. 努力点,你会通过考试的。
请做以下试题:
(1) Jim, you go there to help him, _______?
A. do you B. will you C. are you D. have you
答案选B。句首的呼语 Jim 清楚地表明这一个祈使句,只是其前带了主语而已。
(2) ________ me back my money, or I’ll ring the police.
A. Giving B. Given C. Give D. To give
答案选C。填空处为祈使句谓语,故用动词原形。
学习祈使句的几个基本要点
一、祈使句的概念和一般形式
表示请求、命令等的句子叫祈使句。它的主语是听话人(you) ,一般不需要说出来。通常以动词原形开头。祈使句末尾用惊叹号或句号,句子用降调。如:
Open the door, please. 请把门打开。
Be quiet, boys. 孩子们,安静点。
Hurry up!快点跟上。
但有时为了指明向谁请求或发出命袋子令,也可说出主语来。如:
Alice, you close your book. 艾丽期,请你把书关上。
二、祈使句的否定式
祈使句的否定式是在动词原形前加don’t。如:
Don’t be late again. 不要再迟到了(www.yygrammar.com)。
Please don’t forget to take your medicine. 请不要忘记吃药。
Don’t let’s quarrel about it. (=Let’s not quarrel about it. ) 我们不要为此事争吵了。
三、祈使句的强调式
Do be on time. 务必准时。
Do come early. 务必早点来。
四、区分let’s与let us /sb.
Please let him in. 请让他进去。
—Let’s go swimming, shall we? 我们去游泳,好吗?
—No, let’s not. /Yes, let’s. 不要去了。/我们去吧。
—Let us go swimming, will you? 请你让我们去游泳,好吗?
—No, you’d better not. 你们最好别去。
不要混淆祈使句与非谓语动词
有这样一道语法考题,该用动词原形?还是用非谓语动词?
_________ the road round to the right and you’ll find his house.
A. Follow B. Following C. To follow D. Followed
【分析】此题容易误选B或C,许多同学一看选项就想当然地认为,选现在分词表示时间或伴随,选不定式表目的。此题的关键是要注意句中的连词and,它表明整个句子是一个并列句,即 and 前后应各是一个独立的句子,而不应是一个非谓语形式的短语,所以此题的正确答案应选A,即 and 前是一个祈使句。比较以下两题:
(1) _________ the road round to the right, she found his house.
A. Follow B. Following C. To follow D. Followed
【分析】此题应选B,现在分词短语表时间。
(2) _________ the road round to the right, the blind man asked a boy to guide him.
A. Follow B. Following C. To follow D. Followed
【分析】此题应选C,不定式短语表目的。

A. Turning B. Turn C. Turned D. To turn
(2) _________ some of this juice — perhaps you will like it.

■You+祈使语气动词
You wait here for a moment. 你在这儿等一会儿。
语调和重音很重要。在上面这一句里,如果不重读you, 那么句子的意思是this is where you wait (这就是你应等着的地方);如果重读you, 那么句子的意思就是this is what I want you to do (这是我要你做的事)。此外,重读you时还可以表示愤怒、敌意或不客气。如:
You mind your own business! 不关你什么事!(from www.yygrammar.com)
You try teaching 40 noisy children five days a week! 你来试试每周5天教40个吵闹的孩子!
在否定句中Don’t要重读 (不重读you)。如:

学习祈使句应的五个要点
祈使句是表示请求、命令、劝告、祝愿或建议的句子。祈使句的主语一般为第二人称,但往往省去不用。同学们在学习祈使句时应注意以下几点:
一、祈使句谓语用何动词形式
英语祈使句的谓语总是用动词原形。如:
Be quiet! 别说话!
Come earlier next time. 下次早点来。
Have a good time. 愿你玩得痛快。
Go and tell her. 去告诉她吧。
注:有时为了加强语气,可在动词前加do。如:
Do be careful. 务请小心。
Do come on time. 务必请准时来。
二、肯定祈使句如何变成否定祈使句
祈使句否定式的构成方法是在动词原形前加don’t:
Don’t be late. 不要迟到。
Don’t speak so loud. 别这么大声说话。
Don’t walk on the grass. 不要在草坪上走。
Don’t lose the key. 别把钥匙丢了。
Don’t come unless I telephone. 除非我打电话,否则你别来。
三、与please连用以使语气委婉
为使语气委婉,通常将祈使句与please连用。Please可用于祈使句的句首(其后通常不用逗号)或句末(其前通常用逗号)。如:
Please don’t get angry. 请不要生气。
Please drive more slowly. 请开得慢一点。
Please cut me a piece of cake. 请给我切一块蛋糕。
Please try to be quiet. 请设法保持安静。
Please repeat what you’ve just said. 请把你刚才说的话重复一遍。
四、关于以let开头的祈使句
Let’s eat out tonight. 我们今晚出去吃饭吧。
Let me have a try. 我来试一试。
Let me show you how to do it. 我来告诉你怎样做。
Let every man do his best. 让每个人人尽其才。
Let the meat cook slowly. 把肉用慢火炖。
注意:
1. 这类祈使句的否定式有两种形式。如:
Let’s not hurry. / Don’t let’s hurry. 我们不要太急。
2. let后用作宾语补足语的动词要用原形,不能用带to的不定式。
五、祈使句的反意疑问句形式
1. 在通常情况下,若陈述部分为祈使句,反意疑问句通常用will you, won’t you, would you等。如:
Turn on the TV, will you? 把电视打开,好吗?
Tell me the truth, won’t you? 告诉我实话,好吗?
If you want help, let me know, would you? 如果你需要帮助,告诉我,好吗?
注:若陈述部分为否定式,则反意疑问句部分只用will you。如:
Don’t forget to post the letter, will you? 请别忘了寄信。
2. 若陈述部分为以 let开头的祈使句,则要分两种情况:
(1) 表示请求时,用will you?
Let me do it for you, will you? 让我替你做,好吗?
Let us know your address, will you? 把你的地址告诉我们吧,好吗?
(2) 表示建议时,用shall we?
Let’s go swimming together, shall we? 我们一起去游泳好吗?
Let’s all sit under this tree, shall we? 咱们都坐在这棵树下,好不好?
祈使句如何变为否定句
一、一般情况
一般说来,祈使句的否定是在祈使句首加Don’t。如:
(1) Come here. —Don’t come here. 不要来这儿。
(2) Be angry. —Don’t be angry. 不要生气
二、let型
当祈使句表示邀请或建议(Let’s…) 时,则在Let’s与 do之间加not。如:
(1) Let’s talk about it. —Let’s not talk about it. 我们别谈论它吧。
(2) Let’s go swimming there. —Let’s not go swimming there. 我们别去那里游泳吧。
三、无动词型
无动词祈使句的否定:在无动词祈使句的句首加not。如:
(1) Here? — Not here. 不是这里。
(2) Green?—Not green. 不是绿色的。
(3) This one? — Not this one. 不是这个。
祈使句如何变为反意疑问句
一、基本原则
若陈述部分为祈使句,反意问句通常用will you, won't you, would you等。如:
Mail the letter today, will you? 今天就把信发掉,好吗?
Try to be back by two, won't you? 设法两点之前回来,好吗?
注:若陈述部分为否定式,则反意问句部分只用will you。如:
Don't forget to post the letter, will you? 请别忘了寄信。
有时根据语境的需要,反意问句也可以用can you, can't you 等:
Give me some cigarettes, can you? 给我些香烟,可以吗?
Walk faster, can't you? 走快点,不行吗?
二、let型
1. 当祈使句为Let's…时:反意问句总是用 shall we。如:
Let's phone her now, shall we? 我们现在就给她打电话,好吗?
Let's go to the cinema tonight, shall we? 今晚咱们去看电影,好吗?
2. 当祈使句为Let us…时:若表示请求,反意问句用will you;若表示表示建议,则用 shall we。如:
Let us know your address, will you? 请把你的地址告诉我们,好吗?
Let us go swimming together, shall we? 我们一起去游泳好吗?
注:let's…只表示建议,所以其后反意问句总是用shall we。而let us…既可表示建议请求,也可表示建议(较正式),其后的反意问句要根据这两种不同情况分别使用will you和shall we。
