组成句子的各个部分叫做句子的成分，即：主语、谓语、表语、宾语、定语和状语。主语和谓语是句子的主体部分。表语、宾语都是谓语里的组成部分。
①主语，表示句子所说的是“什么人”或“什么事物”，一般由名词、代词或相当于名词的词或短语等充当。例如：
Lucy is an American girl.露西是美国女孩。
We study in No.1 Middle School.我们在一中上学。
②谓语，说明主语“做什么”、“是什么”或者“怎么样”。谓语（谓语部分里主要的词）用动词。谓语和主语在“人称”和“数”两方面必须一致。例如：

Mike hopes to be a doctor.麦克想当医生。 His parents are farmers.他父母亲都是农民。 She is singing.她正在唱歌。
③表语，说明主语是什么或者怎么样，由名词、形容词或相当于名词或形容词的词或短语等充当，和连系动词一起构成谓语。例如： Her aunt is a driver.她婶婶是司机。
Are you an English teacher?你是英语老师吗？ We were at home last night.昨晚我们在家。 Jim\'s mother is a doctor.吉姆的母亲是医生。
④宾语，表示动作、行为的对象，由名词、代词或相当于名词的词、短语等充当，和及物动词一起说明主语做什么。例如： We study maths at school.我们在学校学习数学。 Did you see Mike yesterday?昨天你见到麦克了？ Jim often helps Lucy.吉姆经常帮助露西。
⑤定语，用来修饰名词或代词。作定语的除形容词外，还有代词、数词、名词、介词短语或相当于形容词的词或短语等。单个的词作定语，放在被修饰词的前面，短语作定语放在被修饰词的后面。例如：

You\'ll have to be patient with my mother—she\'s going rather deaf. 你对我母亲得有耐心——她的耳朵越来越背了。
She\'s a patient teacher.她是个很有耐心的老师。

5．You like to buy your friends nice gifts.你喜欢给朋友买好的礼物。
①like+v.ing说明一种惯常情况。例如：

6．However, sometimes it\'s silly of you not to forgive others for their mistakes. 然而，有时候你真傻，不去原谅别人犯的错误。
however作副词用时，表示“然而；但是”，可以位于句首、句中和句末；位于句首时，要用逗号与句子其它部分隔开；位于句中时，其前后都要用逗号；位于句末时其前用逗号分开。 例如: She felt ill.She went to work, however, and tried to concentrate. 她病了。然而她照旧去上班，并且尽力集中精神工作。 His first response was to say no.Later, however, he changed his mind. 他最初的反应是不同意，可是后来他改变了主意。

I don\'t believe they have finished their work yet.我相信他们还未完成他们的工作。
I don\'t suppose he cares, does he? 我想他不在意，是吗？
