Welcome to our new series of English Grammar Hacks.

歡迎來到我們的新系列英語語法小技巧。

祈使句型

Wait. I know what you're thinking: "English grammar equals hard, not fun".

等等，我知道你在想什麼。"英語語法等於難，不是好玩的"。

But before you leave me, give me a chance to explain why English grammar is easy and definitely worth learning.

但在你離開我之前，給我一個機會解釋一下為什麼英語語法很簡單，絕對值得學習。

English has some weird pronunciation rules, but the grammar aspect of the language is actually much easier.

英語有一些奇怪的發音規則，但文法方面其實要簡單很多。

All you need is a positive attitude towards grammar and then awareness of what makes English grammar easy compared to other languages.

你需要的是對文法的積極態度，然後意識到英語語法比其他語言容易的原因。

First of all, in English you generally just need to add an "s" to the end of a word to get its plural form.

首先，在英語中，一般只要在一個單詞的末尾加一個 "s "就可以得到它的複數形式。

One cat, two cats. One friend, four friends.

一隻貓，兩隻貓。一個朋友，四個朋友。

Okay. I know that there are some irregular plurals like "women" and "children," but I promise there aren't too many.

我知道有一些不規則的複數，比如 "婦女 "和 "孩子"，但我保證不會太多。

Second: English has no grammatical genders.

第二：英語沒有文法上的性別。

This is a big one because you don't have to worry about whether objects like tables or bottles are masculine or feminine.

這是一個很大的問題，因為你不必擔心像桌子或瓶子這樣的物體是陽性還是陰性。

That doesn't even make much sense anyway. They're just objects.

這甚至沒有什麼意義，反正。他們只是對象。

This aspect makes English easier than a lot of languages like French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, which distinguish between masculine and feminine, and German, which has three genders.

這方面使得英語比很多語言更容易，比如法語、西班牙語、葡萄牙語、意大利語，它們有陽性和陰性之分，德語有三種性別。

This leads into my next point, which is that there is no adjective agreement either.

這就引出了我的下一個觀點，那就是也沒有形容詞的約定。

This means that if there is one new car or a million new cars, the word "new" will always be written the same way.

這意味著，如果有一輛新車或一百萬輛新車，"新 "字永遠都是這樣寫的。

Cases are variations of words depending on their functions in sentences.

例子是詞語根據其在句子中的功能而產生的變化。

In Russian, for example, there are six different cases, and four in German.

以俄語為例，有6種不同的情況，德語有4種。

This means that when you learn a new word in these languages, you need to memorize several variations to be able to use them in different situations.

這意味著，當你學習這些語言中的一個新詞時，你需要記住幾個變化，以便在不同的情況下能夠使用它們。

When you learn a word in English, your job is done.

當你學會一個英語單詞後，你的工作就完成了。

The last thing I want to talk about today is how simple it is to conjugate verbs in English.

今天最後想說的是，英語中動詞的共軛是多麼簡單。

It's true that there are a couple of different tenses you need to memorize, but they're relatively simple compared to other languages.

的確，你需要記住幾個不同的時態，但與其他語言相比，它們相對簡單。

There are usually just one or two variations you need to memorize to be able to express your ideas.

通常只需要記住一兩個變式，就能表達你的想法。

In English you only need two forms for the present.

在英語中，你只需要兩種形式的現在。

I'll give you an example: I listen, you listen, we listen, they listen, or he or she listens.

我給你舉個例子。我聽，你聽，我們聽，他們聽，或者他或她聽。

Adding an "a" for a few persons does the trick in most cases.

在大多數情況下，給幾個人加個 "a "就可以了。

Do you want to talk about the future?  Then you just need the word "will" before the infinitive form of the verb. "I will listen."

你想談論未來嗎？  那麼你只需要在動詞的不定式前加上 "將 "字就可以了。"我會聽。"

Need to talk about something in the past?

Just add -ed to the end.  For our example "listen" this works for all forms.

只要在結尾加上-ed即可。  對於我們的例子 "listen"，這適用於所有形式。

I listened, you listened, he or she listened, they listened, we listened.

我聽了，你聽了，他或她聽了，他們聽了，我們聽了。

Of course, there are some common irregular verbs, but in an upcoming video, I'll give you a language hack to memorize those in no time.

當然，還有一些常見的不規則動詞，但在接下來的視頻中，我會給你一個語言黑客，讓你在短時間內記住這些動詞。

Now, I hope I've convinced you that compared to many languages, probably even including your native language, English grammar is easy.

現在，我希望我已經說服了你，與許多語言相比，甚至可能包括你的母語，英語語法很容易。
