一、什么是系动词
系动词亦称联系动词(Link Verb)，作为系动词，它本身有词义，但不能单独用作谓语，后边必须跟表语（亦称补语），构成系表结构说明主语的状况、性质、特征等情况。
注：有些系动词又是实义动词，该动词表达实义时，有词义，可单独作谓语。
eg：He fell ill yesterday. 他昨天病了。
fell是系动词，后跟补足语，说明主语情况。
eg：He fell off the ladder. 他从梯子上摔下来。
fell是实义动词，单独作谓语。
二、系动词分类
1、状态系动词：用来表示主语状态，只有be一词。
eg：He is a teacher.他是一名教师。（is与补足语一起说明主语的身份。）
2、持续系动词：用来表示主语继续或保持一种状况或态度。主要有keep,rest,remain,stay,lie,stand
eg：He always kept silent at meeting. 他开会时总保持沉默。
3、表像系动词：用来表示"看起来像"这一概念。主要有seem,appear,look
eg：He looks tired.他看起来很累。
4、感官系动词：主要有feel,smell,sound,taste
eg：This flower smells very sweet. 这花闻起来很香。
5、变化系动词：表示主语变成什么样。主要有become,grow,turn,fall,get,go,come,run
eg：He became mad after that. 那之后他就发疯了。
6、终止系动词：表示主语已终止动作，表达"证实"，"变成"之意。主要有prove, trun out
eg：His plan turned out a success.他的计划终于成功了。（turn out表终止性结果）
appear有哪些用法相关文章：
appear的用法1：appear的基本含义有二：一是“出现”“到达”，指出席或在公共场所露面，也指可以看见或变得清晰起来，较少意味着具有确切地具体的背景或出处。引申为“出演”“出版”“面世”。appear作此解时，是不及物动词，其后常有时间、地点等状语。appear的另一个意思是“似乎”“显得”“看起来好像”，含有因视觉误差、观点限制或他人掩饰而得到的印象与事实并不一定相符的味道。appear作此解时，主要用作系动词，也可用作不及物动词。
appear的用法2：appear用作系动词，接“to be+ n./adj. ” 或者介词短语、动词不定式或as if/though引导的从句， to be可以省略。当形容词是表语形容词时， to be不可省略。
appear的用法3：appear用作系动词的句子中可插入to sb,在强调时可移至句首。
appear的用法4：在以动词不定式或that从句作主语时，一般须以it作形式主语，置于句首，而将该动词不定式或that从句置于appear之后。
appear的用法5：appear可用于存在句型（There ～s/ ～ed ），相当于不及物动词be。
appear的用法6：appear作为表示状态的动词，通常不用于进行体，而须用于一般时态。
appear的用法7：appear是表示感觉的系动词，可用于转移否定结构，即句中的否定虽然出现在主句的谓语部分，但否定范围却不在主句谓语动词本身，而是转移到句子末端的宾语、状语或其他成分上。

二、词义辨析：有“看起来、似乎是”词义的还有哪些词？
appear, look, seem
这些动词均有“看起来，好像是”之意。
appear指从感观印象看似乎是如此，但有时着重指因视野、观点限制而产生的歪曲印象。
look指从样子看起来，侧重通过视觉而建立的印象。
seem多指从主观印象或个反应得出的看法。
三、词义辨析：有“出现”一义的还有哪些词？
appear, emerge, show, loom
这些动词均有“出现”之意。
appear强调公开露面，被看见。
emerge侧重缓缓出现的过程。
show语气较强，强调“露出来”。
loom指朦胧出现，好像从雾中浮现出来一样。
四、学会appear的用法了吗？来做个小测试吧~

看起来联合国不太可能考虑采取这样一种行动。
He appeared quite well. 他显得身体相当好。
He appears quite rich 他似乎相当富有。
To compromise appears advisable. 看来以妥协为好。
1、基本区别
look 指视觉印象，appear 指外表给人的印象，这两者可能是真象也可能是假象，appear的不确定性更大一些，seem 侧重指根据某种迹象作出的推断，也不一定是事实。
2、后接不定式的问题
三者均可后接不定式，但 look 之后一般只限于 to be（且较少见）：
He seems [appears, looks] to be very tired. 他好像很累了。
He seems [appears] to have traveled a lot. 他似乎去过不少地方。
This seems to be a happy solution. 这似乎是一个理想的解决办法。
但是不说He looks to have traveled a lot.
3、后接like的问题
look, seem 之后可接介词 like，但 appear 之后一般不能：
He just looks like his brother. 他的模样就像他的哥哥。
He seems like a fool. 他看起来像个傻瓜。
4、用于进行时态的问题
appear 和seem不用于进行时态，但look有时可这样用（尽管较少见）：
He looks [is looking] well. 他看上去气色不错。
但是不说He is seeming [appearing] well.
5、用于it开头的句子
三者均可用于 it 开头的句子，且三者之后均可接以 as if 或 as though 引导的从句，另外 appear 和 seem 之后还可接 that 引导的从句：
It looks [seems, appears] as if he has lost interest in his job. 看来他对自己的工作已失去了兴趣。
It seems [appears] that he is very tired. 他似乎很累了。
为避免重复，appear和seem后接的 that 从句有时可用so, not 代之：
“Is he reliable? ” “It seems [appears] so (not)。”“他可靠吗？”“似乎是可靠的（不可靠）。”
as well as的用法
1.as well as"既……又，不仅……而且"，要先翻译后者，再翻译前者。
She is lively as well as healthy.
=She is both healthy and lively.
=She is not only healthy but also lively.
她既健康又活泼。
2.as well as连接两个主语，谓语动词与前面的主语保持一致。
His friends as well as his sister were invited to the party.不但他的朋友们，连他的妹妹也被邀请了参加这次派对。（were与friends保持一致）
3.as well as和as good as都可译为"和……一样好"，well为副词，在句中作状语修饰动词，good是形容词，它在句中作表语或定语。
She sings as well as her mother does.
她与她的母亲唱歌一样好。(well修饰sing)
This pen is as good as that one.
这支钢笔和那支一样好。（good作表语）
4.as well用于肯定句句尾，意为"也，又，同样"，同义词为too,also;相对的词是either。
