G21-05情緒動詞句型介紹與實際案例全解析 - 正面或中性情緒動詞分享》已經詳細解釋過情緒動詞三大句型,並介紹了20個意思偏正面或中性的情緒動詞,本文打鐵趁熱,繼續往下介紹意思偏反面的情緒動詞,共20個.
 

情緒動詞三大句型

首先,三個句型先複習一下:

  1. A +情緒動詞 + B

  2. A + beV + 情緒動詞Ving + to B (* 情緒動詞Ving是種現在分詞,修飾A)

  3. B + beV + 情緒動詞pp. + 介係詞 + A (* 情緒動詞pp.是種過去分詞,修飾B)

一樣建議可以看到第一個句型的寫法時,先自己想想如何用第二個及第三個句型改寫,再往下看答案,會有助於自己更熟悉這三個句型的用法唷~
