动词get的使役用法小结
get常用作使役动词,意为“使”、“让”、“叫”等,后接复合宾语,其中宾语补足语可以是形容词、副词、介词短语、不定式或分词。下面笔者主要就中学英语教材中出现的get的使役用法作一小结。
1.get+宾语+形容词
(1)He has got his coat dirty.他把上衣弄脏了。
(2)We have to get everything ready today.今天我们必须把一切准备好。
2.get+宾语+副词
(3)Get these chairs outdoors,please.请把这些椅子搬到外面去。
(4)I'll get the child home.我来接这个孩子回家。
(5)I can't get all the children safely across the river.我无法让所有的孩子安全过河。
3.get+宾语+介词短语

(7)On the weekends,king could get all the people here in his palace.在周末,国王让这里的所有人都到他的宫殿来。
4.get+宾语+不定式

5.get+宾语+现在分词

注意:在这种结构的习惯用法中,get往往可以与使役动词have换用,但在某些场合
(如例15)则不能。因为用get或用have,有意义上的差别。用get表示过去分词的行为
要经过一定努力才能完成;用have则表示主语的意愿是易于实现的。
