★ 重点语法
单元语法重点:使役动词 make 用法小结。
make 作使役动词时,意为“使;让”。具体用法如下:
1. make + sb / sth+ 形容词,意为“使某人或某物……”,其中形容词作宾语补足语。例如:
Soft music makes me sleepy. 轻柔的音乐让我想睡觉。
What he said made the teacher very angry. 他说的话让老师很生气。
2. make + sb / sth+ 动词原形,意为“使某人或某物……”,此处的动词原形是省略 to 的动词不定式,也作宾语补足语。例如:
That man made me think of my dear grandfather. 那位老人让我想起了我亲爱的爷爷。
Bad environment makes people want to leave the city. 糟糕的环境让人们想离开城市。
【拓展】
使役动词 make 后跟省略 to 的动词不定式,变为被动语态时,须加上 to。例如:
The teacher made me repeat the story. → I was made to repeat the story by the teacher
