seem用法总结

seem用法总结
seem可用作连系动词或不及物动词，意为“似乎；好像”，其常见用法现归纳如下：
一、“主语+ seem +（to be ）+表语”，表语多为名词或形容词，有时是其他的词或短语，以说明主语的特征或状态。

例如：
Tom seems （to be ） a very clever boy. 汤姆看上去是一个非常聪明的男孩。

The man over there seems to be a new teacher. 那边的那个人看上去像
a)I seemed to hear a voice in the distance .
b)Your advice seems to be doing me a favor .
c)I seem to have caught a cold .
注意：1seem后跟不定式（短语）时，要注意不定式所表示动作发生的时间，以此来确定不定式的时态。

2seem后不定式的否定式习惯上用 don’t 来代替，（放在seem 前），如：You don’t seem to be quite yourself today ( =You seem not be quite yourself today )
2.seem +形容词
a) She seems quite happy today.
b) The enemy seems powerful but in fact it is weak.
[注]此句式出可看作是seem+to be+adj句式的一种简化形式。

如例a可转换为：
She seems to be quite happy today.
例b可转换为：
The enemy seems to be powerful but in fact it is weak.
但目前由于英语的发展，seem+to be+形容词结构的用法已越来越少，seem+adj 的结构已趋成型，属口语语体。

3．Seem+分词
a) The situation seemed quite encouraging.
b) The news seems exciting.
，如a,b两例；若实现的可能性较小，或根本不可能实现，从句的谓语则用虚拟语气，如c,d 两例。

四、seem通常用在“It seems(seemed)to sb(that)……”的结构中，这种结构常用来表示“行为”的主体，例：
a) It seems to us a good chance.
b) It seems to the emperor that the people were right.
c) It seems to me eveyythingis all right.
五、seems也常用在“there seem(s) to be”句式中，用来代替be，作句子的谓语。

如：
a) There seems to be no point in refusing.
b) There seemed to be something the matter with him.
c) There doesn’t seem to be too much hope of our team beating theirs. [注]1）在这一结构中，seem表示“似乎有”、“看来”的意思，如：
There seem to be a lot of things to do .(=It seems as if there were a lot of things to do.)
2)There seem(s) to be +n”这个结构的否定形式为“There seem(s) to be +no+n.”（如例a）或（“There doesn’t seem to be +n.”（如例c）.
六、seem有时也同人称代词I连用，意为“感到好像、觉得似乎”等意，如：
a)I seem unable to solve it right now.看来我无法立刻解决它。

b)I seem to have seen him somewhere before.我好像以前在什么地方见过他。

七、seem还常常同like搭配。

如：。
