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。
