经常有学生反映语法难学，不知怎么学。我的回答是，语法其实很简单，只是我们经常在使用而不知道而已。我写了以下一篇小短文，反复修改后，基本涵盖了英语的所有语法，包括所有词性的类型，句子的类型，句子的结构，从句的类型，时态的类型，以及其它特殊的句型等。从内容来看，比较简单，也有一定的激励性，很适合中学生朗读和背诵。 ①My name is Li Hua. ②I used to dislike English, but I have fallen in love with English now. ③Speaking English is interesting, and it's very useful, too. ④When I listen to my teacher, Mr. Hu, who is a teacher teaching English, I can always understand what he's talking about. ⑤I have been learning English for eight years, and I'm always told by my friends that my English is getting better than before. ⑥Yesterday, Mr. Hu praised me, '⑦How fluently you speak English! ⑧What a smart student you are!' ⑨I told him that if I had started earlier, my English would have become better. ⑩Moved by what he said, I was wondering, '⑪Am I late? ⑫What can I do? ' ⑬Mr. Hu answered, '⑭Don't be nervous! ⑮The fact that you are late is not a problem, but the problem is how hard you are learning now. ⑯How you are learning English isalso very important, isn't it?' ⑰After saying that, he presented me an English dictionary. ⑱Of course, I will try my best to make progress in my English. ⑲I am sure that I will have spoken English like a foreigner three years later. ⑳What's more, I hope to teach others how to learn it after graduation. (21)Then I'll feel very proud because they will call me an English teacher. (22)There is always one dream in my heart, and this is it. (23)Never will I give it up. (24)Anyhow, I must thank my English teacher, Mr. Hu, for his generous help. (25)It is with the help of him that I have made such great achievements today.本文涵盖了：一、各种词类：动词、名词、形容词、副词、代词、冠词、介词、连词、数词，文中已全部涉及，不需一一举例。二、谓语动词：8种常用时态、主动语态、被动语态；非谓语动词的动名词、现在分词、过去分词、不定式；主谓一致；情态动词、虚拟语气。1、8种常用时态：一般现在时，如句①、③、④；现在进行时，如句④、⑯；现在完成时，如句②、(25)；现在完成进行时，如句⑤；一般将来时，如句⑱、⑲、(23)；一般过去时，如句⑥、⑨；过去进行时，如句⑩；过去完成时，如句⑨。2、语态：文中句子基本用的是主动语态，被动语态也有，如句⑤。3、非谓语动词：句③中的动名词speaking English作主语；句④中的teaching English现在分词作后置定语；句⑩中的moved by what he said过去分词作状语；句⑳中的hope to teach others不定式作宾语。4、主谓一致：如句①、③、⑯、(22)。5、情态动词：如句(21)、(23)、(24)。6、虚拟语气：如句⑨。三、句子种类：陈述句、疑问句(一般疑问句、特殊疑问句、反意疑问句)、祈使句、感叹句；简单句、并列句、复合句。1、陈述句在文中多处有体现，就不举例了。2、疑问句：一般疑问句，如句⑪；特殊疑问句，如句⑫；反意疑问句，如句⑯。3、祈使句：如句⑭。4、感叹句：如句⑦、⑧。四、简单句：五种基本句型、there be句型。1、主语+谓语(vi.)，如句⑬；2、主语+谓语(vt.)+宾语，如句⑤、⑥、⑨；3、主语+系动词+表语，如句①、③、⑮、⑯、(21)；4、主语+谓语(vt.)+间接宾语+直接宾语，如句⑰；5、主语+谓语(vt.)+宾语+宾语补足语，如句(21)；6、therebe句型，如句(22)。五、复合句：定语从句、状语从句、名词性从句(主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句)。1、定语从句，如句④；2、状语从句，如时间状语从句的句④，条件状语从句的句⑨，原因状语从句的句(21)；3、名词性从句，如主语从句的句⑯，宾语从句的句④、⑤、⑨，表语从句的句⑮后半句、同位语从句的句⑮前半句。六、特殊句型：倒装句、强调句。1、倒装句，如句(23)；2、强调句，如句(25)。七、其它用法：构词法、直接引语、间接引语。1、构词法，如like-dislike,teach-teacher, fluent-fluently；2、直接引语，如句⑦、⑧、⑪、⑫、⑭、⑮、⑯；3、间接引语，如句⑤、⑨。其实，很多时候学生们用语法是“知其然而不知其所以然”。希望能利用这篇小短文消除他们对语法的恐惧和排斥，会用了就不用太顾忌，用错了也不用害怕，不要为了表达的准确度而影响其流利性及传递性。当然，一篇文章是远远不够的，要真正精通语法，还需要对每个语法点进行全面系统的研习。
