现代英语发展动态之我见

You can use it in a sentence?  You can say it in Chinese?  You can spell it? 等。这类疑问句与我们的本族语言—汉语表示同类意思的句子词序是一致的,只要经常模仿它,是不难掌握的。

（3）结构方面的变化

A.格的变化

目前代词whom正在被who所取代：Whom did you see yesterday?—Who

did you see yesterday?  I don't know whom I shall give it to?—I don't know who I shall give it to? 等。

    另外在第一人称单数代词作表语时,用me代替I日趋稳定。原先总说,This is I.或It's I.许多语法家原也认为不能用This is me.但现代英语中用me替I越来越固定,可以说It's me.

B.形容词比较级、最高级中用-er, -est代替more, most

-般语法书上规定,单音节的形容词及以y, ow结尾的双音节形容词,在比较级与最高级时,加后缀er, est。如： clean—cleaner—cleanest, happy—happier—happiest。其余的形容词在比较级、最高级时应加more, most。现在则用er, est代替more, most日趋见多,且日益稳定其用法。如: difficult—

difficulter—difficultest。

C.结构的省略

用ain’t代替is not, are not, am not, have not, has not等。如：He ain’t at home. I ain’t an English newspaper.等。
