文法概念動詞、及物動詞、連接詞
單字概述與用法
suppose是及物動詞,其基本語意是認為、假設、猜想,指將某事物視為真實或已知,尤指在缺乏充分證據的情況下或表達對某事的期待或認為某人應該做某事。suppose還可用來禮貌地提出建議、要求或意見。suppose三態為:suppose / supposed / supposed。
- 及物動詞:認為可能、猜想。用於表示猜測; 表示與願望相反的估計; 用於表示氣惱; 用於表示不贊成,卻不得不同意。
- 連接詞:suppose + that變成副詞子句的連接詞,語意為假設,因為that常被省略,所以suppose也被認為具有連接詞的詞性。它也可以用於委婉地提出請求或建議(=what if的用法),語意為...怎麼樣(好嗎)?
用法注意事項:
- 當使用 suppose當連接詞,表示假設或猜想時,它通常與情態動詞 should或 were連用,例如:Suppose you were given the opportunity, would you take it?
- suppose用於禮貌地提出建議、要求或意見時,常與 we連用,例如:Suppose we take a break and continue later?
及物動詞:假設、猜想、認為、推測、預期
