Some Common Modal Verbs
  2. 1. Must/ Have to - Must: phải => diễn tả sự cần thiết, bắt buộc (mang tính cá nhân); chắc hản => diễn tả sự suy luận logic ở ht E.g. - She’s a really nice person. You must meet her. (= I say this is necessary) Cô ấy là một người thật sự tốt. Anh phải gặp cô ấy. (= tôi nói điều đó là cần thiết) - I haven’t phoned Ann for ages. I must phone her tonight. Đã lâu rồi tôi không gọi điện thoại cho Ann. Tôi phải gọi cho cô ấy tối nay. - You must be worried that she is so late coming home. Chắc hẳn bạn phải lo lắng lắm vì cô ấy về nhà trễ thế này. - The grass is wet. It must be raining. - You must be hungry. You haven't eaten anything all day. (Opposite: - You can't be hungry. You've just eaten.) - Have to: phải => diễn tả sự bắt buộc không mang tính chất cá nhân, thường nói về quy định, luật lệ, hoàn cảnh khách quan. Have to không phải là trợ động từ nhưng có nghĩa giống như trợ động từ Must. E.g. - You can’t turn right here. You have to turn left. (because of the traffic system) Anh không thể rẽ phải ở đây. Anh phải rẽ trái. (do luật giao thông) - My eye sight isn’t very good. I have to wear glasses for reading. Thị lực của tôi không được tốt. Tôi phải đeo kính để đọc sách. (do hoàn cảnh thực tế) - George can’t come out with us this evening. He has to work. George không thể đi với chúng ta tối nay. Anh ấy phải làm việc. - Mustn’t và don’t have to là hoàn toàn khác nhau. + Mustn’t do St: không được (phép) làm gì E.g. - You must keep it a secret. You mustn’t tell anyone. (=don’t tell anyone) Bạn phải giữ điều đó bí mật nhé. Bạn không được nói với bất cứ ai. + Don’t have to do St: không cần thiết phải làm điều đó (nhưng có thể làm nếu bạn muốn). E.g. - You can tell me if you want but you don’t have to tell me (= you don’t need to tell me) Bạn có thể kể với tôi nếu bạn muốn nhưng bạn không bắt buộc phải nói với tôi. (= bạn không cần phải nói với tôi) I’m not working tomorrow, so I don’t have to get up early. Sáng mai tôi không làm việc, vì vậy tôi không phải dậy sớm. 2. Need (cần) - Need: được sử dụng như một động từ thường + Need to do St: nếu chủ ngữ là một vật thể sống => cần phải E.g. - He will need to drive home alone tonight. - John needs to paint his house. + Need doing St/ Need to be done: nếu chủ ngữ không phải là vật thể sống (= Want/Require + V.ing => nhưng ít dùng) E.g. - The grass needs cutting. (= The grass needs to be cut.) - The television needs repairing. (The television needs to be repaired.) - Your essays need rewriting. (Your essays need to be rewritten.) - Need: được sử dụng như một trợ động từ trong thể phủ định, nghi vấn ở thời hiện tại (không có s ở ngôi 3 số ít)
  3. E.g. - We needn’t reserve seats – There will be plenty of rooms. - Needn’t là hình thức phủ định của Must (vì Mustn’t có nghĩa là không được phép) E.g.

Should: ngoài ra should còn dùng để diễn tả điều gì đó ở hiện tại không như mong đợi. E.g. - The price on this packet is wrong. It says 65 cents but It should be 50. (giá ghi trên gói hàng này không đúng Nó ghi 65 xu nhưng đáng lẽ chỉ là 50 xu thôi). - The train should be here now. (Đáng lẽ giờ này tàu phải đến đây rồi.) *. If should: nếu mà => ít chắc chắn E.g. - If you should see Tom this evening, can you tell him to phone me? (Nếu tối nay gặp bạn Tom, bạn có thể bảo anh ta gọi điện thoại cho tôi được không?). Câu này cũng tương tự như câu “If you see Tom “(Nếu bạn gặp Tom) (không có should).

He needn’t have brought the umbrella. (He brought it. He didn’t know whether it rained or not.) *.

CHUYÊN ĐỀ 2: CÁC VẤN ĐỀ RÚT GỌN MỆNH ĐỀ PHẦN A - CÁC DẠNG RÚT GỌN MỆNH ĐỀ A - RÚT GỌN MỆNH ĐỀ QUAN HỆ Mệnh đề quan hệ có thể được rút gọn thành 6 dạng: Hiện tại phân từ (Present Participle), Qúa khứ phân từ (Past Participle), Động từ nguyên thể (To Infinitive), Cụm đồng cách danh từ (Noun Phrase), Cụm giới từ (Preposition Phrase), và Tính từ ghép (Compound Adjective). 1. Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ dưới dạng phân từ hiện tại (Present Participle - V.ing) Khi động từ (V) trong mệnh đề quan hệ ở thể chủ động, ta rút gọn bằng cách bỏ bỏ đại từ quan hệ và chuyển chuyển động từ về dạng V.ing. Ví dụ: - You should take care of the things which belong to you. => You should take care of the things belonging to you. - The fans who want to meet their idol are waiting at the station. => The fans wanting to meet their idol are waiting at the station. Nếu động từ trong mệnh đề quan hệ ở thì tiếp diễn thì bỏ đại từ quan hệ và động từ To be, giữ nguyên V.ing.
  11. Ví dụ: - The man who is giving a speech on the stage is our new teacher. => The man giving a speech on the stage is our new teacher. - The doctors who are working in this hospital are from England. => The doctors working in this hospital are from England. 2. Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ thành cụm quá khứ phân từ (Past Participle - thường được viết dưới dạng: V3/Vp2/Vpp/V.ed) Khi động từ trong mệnh đề quan hệ ở dạng bị động, ta rút gọn bằng cách bỏ đại từ quan hệ và động từ “To be”, giữ lại quá khứ phân từ. Ví dụ: - The picture which was stolen last month has just been found. => The picture stolen last month has just been found. - The boy who was punished by his father cried bitterly. => The boy punished by his father cried bitterly. 3. Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ thành cụm động từ nguyên thể (To Infinitive) Ta thường sử dụng động từ nguyên thể to infinitive để rút gọn một mệnh đề quan hệ khi chúng đứng sau cụm danh từ có số thứ tự, hình thức so sánh hơn nhất, hoặc khi mệnh để quan hệ đó được dùng để chỉ mục đích, nghĩa vụ dù cho động từ ở mệnh đề ở dạng chủ động hay bị động. a. Rút gọn về dạng động từ nguyên thể “To Infinitive” Ta rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ về dạng To Infinitive khi trước nó là cụm danh từ bắt đầu bằng số thứ tự, hay hình thức so sánh hơn nhất của tính từ Ví dụ:- Tom was the last men that left the party. => Tom was the last men to leave the party. - Minh was the most intelligent person that could answer the question. => Minh was the most intelligent person to answer the question. Ta rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ về dạng To Infinitive khi mệnh đề quan hệ theo sau chỉ mục đích, nghĩa vụ - thường có các động từ want, need, và các động từ khuyết thiếu khác như can, could, have to, must, should, Ví dụ: - He bought some books which he could read during his vacation. => He bought some books to read during his vacation. - I have many homework that I must do. => I have many homework to do. *. GHI NHỚ: Khi rút gọn mệnh đề về dạng To Infinitive này có hai điểm cần nhớ sau đây: (1) - Nếu chủ từ hai mệnh đề khác nhau thì thêm cụm “ for somebody ” trước To Infinitive. Ví dụ:- We have some picture books that the children can read. =>We have some picture books for the children to read. Tuy nhiên nếu chủ từ đó là các từ có nghĩa chung chung như everyone,people, .thì có thể bỏ đi Ví dụ: - Studying abroad is the wonderful thing that they must think about. => Studying abroad is the wonderful thing to think about. Nếu trước đại từ quan hệ có giới từ thì phải đưa về cuối câu. (đây là lỗi dễ sai nhất khi làm bài). Ví dụ: - We have a peg on which we can hang our coat.
  12. => We have a peg to hang our coat on. - He wants to buy a big garden in which his children can play. =>He wants to buy a big garden for his children to play in b. Rút gọn về dạng nguyên thể bị động “To Be + V.p2” Ta rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ về dạng To Be + V.p2 khi trước nó là cụm danh từ bắt đầu bằng số thứ tự, hình thức so sánh hơn nhất của tính từ và động từ trong mệnh đề quan hệ ở dạng bị động. Ví dụ: - That was the fifth man who was killed in this month. => That was the fifth man to be killed in this month - There are six letters which have to be written today. => There are six letters to be written today. 4. Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ bằng cách sử dụng cụm đồng cách danh từ Ta có thể rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ về dạng cụm đồng cách danh từ khi mệnh đề quan hệ có cấu trúc sau đây: N + Who/That/Which + V + N/N.P ( trong đó: N - danh từ; N.P - cụm danh từ) Ví dụ: - Bangkok, which is the capital of Thailand, is very beautiful. => Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is very beautiful. - My uncle, who is an engineer, lives in Hochiminh city. => My uncle, an engineer, lives in HCM city. - Football, which is a popular sport, is very good for health. => Football, a popular sport, is very good for health. 5. Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ bằng cách sử dụng cụm giới từ Ngoài ra, ta còn có thể rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ về dạng cụm giới từ khi mệnh đề quan hệ có cấu trúc sau đây: N + Who/That/Which + V + Prep.Phrase (cụm giới từ) Ví dụ: - The students who study in this school have to wear uniforms. => The students in this school have to wear uniforms. - The workers who work in that company are on strike now. => The workers in that company are on strike now. - Do you like the book which is on the table? => Do you like the book on the table? - The bag which is on the table is Mr Spring's. => The bag on the table is Mr Spring's. 6. Rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ bằng cách sử dụng cụm tính từ ghép Đây là dạng khá hay của phần rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ mà ít ai để ý đến. Cách làm dạng này như sau: tìm trong mệnh đề một số đếm và danh từ đi sau nó, sau đó ta để chúng kế nhau và thêm dấu gạch nối ở giữa. Đem tính từ ghép đó ra trước danh từ đứng truớc who,which, các phần còn lại bỏ hết. Lưu ý: - Danh từ ở phần tính từ ghép không được để ở dạng số nhiều (thêm S/ES) . - Chỉ dùng được dạng này khi mệnh để tính từ có số đếm - Dùng gạch nối ngăn cách giữa số đếm và danh từ trong mệnh đề quan hệ. Ví dụ:- I have a car which has four seats => I have a four-seat car.
  13. - I had a holiday which lasted two days. => I had a two-day holiday. *. PHƯƠNG PHÁP KHI LÀM BÀI RÚT GỌN MỆNH ĐỀ QUAN HỆ Khi làm bài tập rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ, nếu ta biết cách làm thì gần như không khi nào làm sai cả. Nhưng nếu ta chưa “thấm nhuần” kiến thức và phương pháp làm bài thì vẫn sẽ còn gặp nhiều khó khăn. Dưới đây tôi xin gợi ý phương pháp làm bài tập rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ với ba bước cơ bản sau: Bước 1: Tìm mệnh đề quan hệ Bước này tương đối dễ vì mệnh đề tính từ thường bắt đầu bằng WHO, WHICH, THAT Bước 2: Xét dạng của mệnh đề quan hệ Bước này rất quan trọng vì ta phải xét xem mệnh đề quan hệ đó có dạng nào để áp dụng công thức cho phù hợp. Riêng bước này khi học thì ta học từ dễ đến khó nhưng khi làm bài thì ngược lại phải suy luận từ khó đến dễ và phải theo thứ tự nếu không sẽ làm sai. Ví dụ: This is the first man who was arrested by police yesterday. Mới nhìn ta thấy đây là câu bị động, nếu vội vàng thì sẽ dễ dàng biến nó thành: This is the first man arrested by police yesterday (sai) Thật ra đáp án là: This is the first man to be arrested by police yesterday. Do đó ta cần hết sức chú ý tới các bước xét hình thức mệnh đề quan hệ: B1. Nhìn xem mệnh đề quan hệ đó có công thức: Who/Which/That + BE + CỤM DANH TỪ/GIỚI TỪ hoặc có số đếm hay không? Nếu có áp dụng công thức 4, 5 hoặc 6. B2. Nếu không có công thức đó thì xem nhìn phía trước who, which có các dấu hiệu first, only v v không, hoặc xem mệnh đề quan hệ có các động từ khuyết thiếu can/could/must, hay không. Nếu có thì áp dụng công thức 3 (To Infinitive hay To be + Vp2), lưu ý thêm là phải xem hai chủ ngữ có khác nhau không để dùng “for somebody”, và xem có phải chuyển giới từ ra sau hay không. B3. Nếu không có hai trường hợp trên mới xét xem câu đó chủ động hay bị động mà dùng V.ing hay V.p2 Bước 3: Rút gọn mệnh đề Sau khi đã thực hiện xong hai bước trên, ta tiến hành rút gọn từ mệnh đề xuống cụm từ theo công thức tương ứng và chú ý dấu phẩy (,) nếu có. Chúng ta cùng quan sát và phân tích phương pháp làm bài qua hai ví dụ về rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ dưới đây: Ví dụ 1: - The last student that was interviewed was Tom. Bước 1: Xác định mệnh đề quan hệ: phần được in nghiêng - The last student that was interviewed was Tom. Bước 2: Xét dạng mệnh đề quan hệ: Theo phân tích ở trên, phần mệnh đề quan hệ không có cấu trúc: Who/Which/That + BE + CỤM DANH TỪ/GIỚI TỪ do đó bỏ qua công thức 4, 5. Thay vào đó, ta thấy trước mệnh đề quan hệ có cụm từ the last student , do vậy ta sẽ áp dụng công thức 3 (Rút gọn về dạng To Infinitive hoặc To be + Vp2). Ở đây vì động từ trong mệnh đề quan hệ ở dạng bị động nên ta sẽ rút gọn về dạng nguyên thể bị động To be + Vp2. Sau khi bỏ đại từ quan hệ và chuyển đổi động từ ta sẽ được kết quả rút gọn là: “to be interviewed”
  14. Bước 3: Rút gọn mệnh đề: Sau khi thực hiện các bước trên, ta được đáp án hoàn chỉnh là: => The last student to be interviewed was Tom. Ví dụ 2: - The floor is dusty but I haven't got a brush with which I can sweep it. Bước 1: Xác định mệnh đề quan hệ: phần được in nghiêng - The floor is dusty but I haven't got a brush with which I can sweep it. Bước 2: Xét dạng mệnh đề quan hệ: Tương tự theo phân tích ở trên, ta thấy mệnh đề quan hệ không có cấu trúc: Who/Which/That + BE + CỤM DANH TỪ/GIỚI TỪ do đó bỏ qua công thức 4 và 5. Đồng thời, trước mệnh đề quan hệ không có các cụm từ the last , the second, . Tuy nhiên trong mệnh đề quan hệ có động từ khuyết thiếu can và ở dạng chủ động do vậy ta sẽ áp dụng công thức 3.a (Rút gọn về dạng To Infinitive). Chủ ngữ của hai mệnh đề là I nên ta bỏ phần “for Sb”. Nhưng lưu ý thêm là trong câu này có giới từ with đứng trước đại từ quan hệ nên ta phải chuyển giới từ đó về cuối câu sau khi rút gọn. Bước 3: Rút gọn mệnh đề: Sau khi thực hiện các bước trên, ta được đáp án hoàn chỉnh là: => The floor is dusty but I haven't got a brush to sweep it with. B. RÚT GỌN MỆNH ĐỀ TRẠNG NGỮ Mệnh đề trạng ngữ hay còn gọi là mệnh đề trạng từ là mệnh đề nối nhau bằng các liên từ như when, because, although, Điều kiện quan trọng nhất để có thể rút gọn loại mệnh đề này là hai chủ ngữ của hai mệnh đề phải giống nhau - đều chỉ một đối tượng. Các loại mệnh đề trạng ngữ thường được rút gọn thành 4 dạng cơ bản là: dạng Hiện tại phân từ (Present Participle), dạng Quá khứ phân từ (Past Participle) và dạng Phân từ hoàn thành (Perfect Participle), cụm danh từ (Noun Phrase). Quy tắc chung khi rút gọn các loại mệnh đề trạng ngữ: (1) bỏ liên từ (hoặc chuyển về dạng giới từ: although chuyển thành despite hoặc in spite of; because chuyển thành because of, ); (2) nếu động từ ở dạng chủ động thì rút về dạng V.ing; (3) nếu động từ ở dạng bị động thì rút gọn về dạng (Being) Vp2 hoặc Not being + Vp2 tùy từng tình huống cụ thể. Chúng ta cùng nghiên cứu các nội dung liên quan đến vấn đề này ở bốn loại mệnh đề thường gặp như sau. 1. Rút gọn mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian (Adverbial Clauses of Time) Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian thường bắt đầu bằng các liên từ: when, while, as, after, before, since, Ta rút gọn mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian khi muốn diễn tả một hành động đang diễn ra khi có một hành động khác xen vào. Ví dụ: - Walking down the street on Saturday, I saw Simon. (Phần đã được rút gọn trong ví dụ này: As/ When/ While I was ) Hoặc khi muốn diễn tả các hành động song song xảy ra cùng thời điểm. Ví dụ: - Raising their glasses, they wished Darren a happy birthday. - We sat in front of T.V, watching football. Hoặc khi muốn diễn tả một chuỗi các hành động xảy ra nối tiếp nhau trong khoảng thời gian rất ngắn.
  15. Ví dụ: - Closing all the windows and the door carefully, she went to bed. - Seeing an accident ahead, I stopped my car. Ta cũng rút gọn về dạng Having + Vp2 nếu muốn nhấn mạnh hành động ở mệnh đề trạng ngữ diễn ra và kết thúc trước hành động ở mệnh đề chính. Ví dụ: - Having finished all my exercises, I went to bed. - Having spent my money on a car, I couldn't afford a holiday. - Having read the book the boy came out of the room - Having studied for the exam, Mike went to play football. Một số ví dụ khác về rút gọn mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian: - Having retired, he found himself with time on his hands. - Before being shown around, we were welcomed by the principal. - Wear protective gloves when using this equipment. - After finishing his speech, he took a sip of water. - On arriving, you will find someone waiting for you. - While traveling to work, she usually reads a novel. - She has been much happier since changing schools. 2. Rút gọn mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ nguyên nhân, kết quả (Adverbial Clauses of Reason and Result) Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ nguyên nhân, kết quả thường bắt đầu bằng các liên từ: because, since, as a result, Ví dụ: - Not understanding Tom's question, I was unable to give him an answer. (= Because/ Since I didn't understand ) - Having spent my money on a car, I couldn't afford a holiday. (= Because/ Since I had spent ) Một số ví dụ khác: - Not having had any breakfast, I was very hungry. - She became a local celebrity as a result of having appeared once on television. - Having taken the wrong train, I found myself in Bath, not Bristol. (= Because I had taken the wrong train, I found myself in Bath, ) 3. Rút gọn mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ sự tương phản (Adverbial Clauses of Concession) Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ sự tương phản thường bắt đầu bằng các liên từ: although, though, even though, much as, , khi rút gọn các liên từ này thưòng được thay thế bằng các giới từ: in spite of, despite, regardless of, Ví dụ: - We intend to go though we had been advised against it. => We intend to go despite having been advised against it. - Although he worked hard, he could not earn any money. => In spite of working hard, he could not earn any money. 4. Rút gọn mệnh đề điều kiện (Conditional Clauses) Mệnh đề điều kiện là mệnh đề dùng để diễn tả điều kiện của một hành động, một sự việc nếu được đáp ứng. Mệnh đề điều kiện thường bắt đầu bằng liên từ If. Hãy quan sát các ví dụ sau đây: - Used sparingly, this face cream should last you until Christmas. (If it is used sparingly, this face cream should last you until Christmas) - Washed at the wrong temperature, clothes can shrink
  16. (If they are washed at the wrong temperature, clothes can shrink) - Without wearing your glasses, you cannot see anything. (If you don’t wear your glasses, you cannot see anything.) - But for your help, we would not have finished this project. (If you hadn’t helped us, we would not have finished this project.) *. MỘT SỐ ĐIỂM CẦN LƯU Ý KHI RÚT GỌN MỆNH ĐỀ TRẠNG NGỮ 1) - Các cấp độ rút gọn Việc rút gọn mệnh đề có thể diễn ra ở nhiều mức (cấp độ) khác nhau tùy vào loại mệnh đề, từng liên từ, và tùy vào từng tình huống. Hãy quan sát hai ví dụ dưới đây. Ví dụ 1: Hãy tìm một lỗi sai trong các phần được gạch chân trong câu sau đây và sửa lại cho đúng để câu trở nên hoàn chỉnh: A child of noble birth, his name was famous among the children in that school. (Đề tuyển sinh đại học năm 2008) Để làm được câu này ta cần hiểu rõ cụm danh từ đầu câu chính là dạng rút gọn từ mệnh đề trạng từ. Câu gốc lúc chưa rút gọn : As he was a child of noble birth, his name was famous among the children in that school. Rút gọn cấp độ 1: => As being a child of noble birth, ( bỏ chủ từ, động từ thêm ING ) Rút gọn cấp độ 2: => As a child of noble birth, (bỏ luôn động từ “to be” vì mang nghĩa "là") Rút gọn cấp độ 3: => A child of noble birth, (bỏ luôn cả liên từ) Hiểu được tới đây rồi cũng chưa làm được bài mà phải thuộc lòng nguyên tắc khi rút gọn: chủ ngữ 2 mệnh đề phải giống nhau Rõ ràng sau khi "phục hồi" lại câu gốc lúc chưa rút gọn ta sẽ thấy chủ từ 2 mệnh đề khác nhau: => As he was a child of noble birth, his name was famous Do đó ta phải sửa một trong hai chủ ngữ đó, mà người ta chỉ gạch chủ ngữ mệnh đề sau nên ta chọn, his name và sửa thành he. Ví dụ 2: Rút gọn mệnh đề trạng ngữ trong câu sau đây: - When he was attacked by a big dog, he ran away. Cấp độ 1: bỏ chủ ngữ => When being attcked by a big dog, he ran away. Cấp độ 2: bỏ chủ ngữ và to be => When attacked by a big dog, he ran away. Cấp độ 3: bỏ chủ ngữ, bỏ to be và cả liên từ => Attacked by a big dog, he ran away. 2)- Chủ ngữ của hai mệnh đề Nếu chủ ngữ của hai mệnh đề khác nhau, phải giữ nguyên chủ ngữ (nếu chủ ngữ là danh từ hoặc cụm danh từ) hoặc chuyển thành dạng đại từ tân ngữ hoặc tính từ sở hữu (đối với chủ ngữ là đại từ), trường hợp này thường áp dụng đối với mệnh đề nguyên nhân và mệnh đề nhượng bộ. Hãy quan sát 2 ví dụ dưới đây: Ví dụ 1: Hãy chia động từ trong ngoặc để hoàn thành câu dưới đây: The weather (be) perfect, we decided to go for a swim. Phân tích kỹ ta có thể thấy rằng vế đầu là dạng rút gọn của mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ nguyên nhân. Câu gốc chưa rút gọn sẽ là: Because the weather was perfect, we decided to go for a swim. Rút gọn cấp độ 1: chuyển liên từ because thành giới từ because of, chuyển to be thành dạng V.ing, ta có: => Because of the weather being perfect, we decided to go for a swim.
  17. Rút gọn cấp độ 2: bỏ liên từ because, chuyển “to be” thành dạng V.ing, vì hai chủ ngữ khác nhau nên không thể bỏ đi được. Kết quả sẽ là: => The weather being perfect, we decided to go for a swim. Ví dụ 2: Rút gọn mệnh đề nguyên nhân trong câu sau: Because she is old, she retires. Đối với câu này, ta có thể rút gọn như sau: Cấp độ 1: Chuyển liên từ because thành giới từ because of, chuyển she thành her và chuyển to be về dạng V.ing, ta có: => Because of her being old, she retires. Cấp độ 2: Chuyển liên từ because thành giới từ because of, bỏ chủ ngữ she và chuyển to be về dạng V.ing, ta có: => Because of being old, she retires. Cấp độ 3: Bỏ liên từ because, bỏ chủ ngữ she và chuyển to be về dạng V.ing, ta có: => Being old, she retires. Lưu ý: Một cách khác rất phổ biến khi viết lại câu này là chuyển tính từ old thành danh từ age đứng sau tính từ sở hữu her và đặt sau giới từ because of: => Because of her age, she retires. C. MỘT SỐ DẠNG RÚT GỌN KHÁC Bên trên là các mẫu rút gọn thông dụng mà ta thường gặp trong chương trình học phổ thông. Ngoài ra ta còn gặp một số dạng đặc biệt khác nữa mà ta thường không hay để ý, đôi khi không hiểu nó được rút gọn thế nào, từ đâu. Hãy quan sát các trường hợp sau. 1. Hoán đổi mệnh đề khi rút gọn. Theo nguyên tắc chung thì khi rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ sẽ giữ nguyên vị trí, tuy nhiên mẫu này lại ngoại lệ. Ta cùng xem ví dụ để hiểu luôn cách dùng. - She, who had not seen me since 1990, couldn't regconize me at first => She couldn't regconize me at first, not having seen me since 1990. Hoặc: => Not having seen me since 1990, she couldn't regconize me at first. 2. Dùng các giới từ để thay thế động từ trong mệnh đề. Trong một số trường hợp, ta có thể dùng các giới từ WITH, WITHOUT, IN, OF để thay thế cho động từ trong mệnh đề. a. Dùng WITH, WITHOUT Hai giới từ này dùng trong các mệnh đề quan hệ mô tả bộ phận thân thể, một số câu có động từ HAVE (có), CARRY hoặc THERE BE (có). Ví dụ - A girl who had big eyes helped me. => A girl with big eyes helped me. - A robber who was carrying a gun threatened to shoot them. => A robber with a gun threatened to shoot them. - The pot in which there is no food is thrown away by him. => The pot without food in it is thrown away by him. b. Dùng IN: Khi mệnh đề quan hệ diễn tả trang phục trên người như quần áo, mũ, giày dép, Ví dụ: - The woman who is wearing a red dress is my aunt. => The woman in a red dress is my aunt. - The man who is wearing dark glasses lives next door. => The man in dark glasses lives next door.
  18. c. Dùng OF: Thường khi nói về năng lực, tuổi tác Ví dụ: - A man who was 90 years old saved the children. => A man of 90 years old saved the children. (hoặc: A 90-year old man saved the children.) 3. Một số dạng rút gọn đặc biệt khác a. Rút gọn “đại từ + to be” Ví dụ: - I'll go if (it is) necessary. - If ( it is) not well managed, irrigation can be harmful - She worked extremely hard though (she was) still rather poor in health. - We'll send an engineer over to meet you as soon as (it is) possible. - Unless (I am) compelled to stay in by bad weather, I go for a walk every day. - Though (he was ) very tired, he did not give up. - Once ( it is) seen, the picture can never be forgotten. - (It's) all right. - (I am) sorry I'm late. - (When one is) out of sight, (one is) out of mind. b. Rút gọn “to be” Ví dụ: - In our country everybody is an ordinary worker no matter what his position (is). - She pledged to complete her father's unfinished task, whatever the task (is). - I refuse, however favorable the conditions (are), to work there c. Rút gọn động từ Ví dụ: - You could have come and (you could have) told me - Jean hasn't been told, but I have (been told). - John has written a poem and Bob (has written) a short stor d. Lược bỏ bổ ngữ Ví dụ: - I am tired. Are you? (= Are you tired?) - Is this your pen? - Yes, it is. (= It is my pen) e. Lược bỏ tân ngữ Ví dụ: - Tell me the truth! - Yes, but I will tell you (the truth) this evening. f.

  25. CHUYÊN ĐỀ 3: KIẾN THỨC NÂNG CAO VỀ CÁC DẠNG BỊ ĐỘNG I. OVERVIEW (KHÁI QUÁT) I.1. Form of The Passive: BE(tense or form) + Vp2 *. Trong công thức trên BE được chia ở thì hoặc dạng thích hợp. Vp2 là hình thức qkpt của ngoại động từ (V buộc phải có O mới đầy đủ ý nghĩa) E.g. - A small sum of money was stolen from the cash box. - They ought to have been punished more severely. (Lẽ ra họ nên bị phạt nghiêm khắc hơn) - Having been beaten in the semi-final, she flew home the next day. (Sau khi bị đánh bại trong , ) *. Trong văn nói, đôi khi GET có thể được dùng thay cho BE trong câu bị động E.g. They got told off for making so much noise. *. Tuy nhiên, GET + -ED thường được sử dụng hơn với nghĩa chủ động: get dressed (ăn mặc đẹp, ăn diện), get married (kết hôn, lập gia đình) I.2. Reasons For Using The Passive - Nhấn mạnh: Trong T.A, chủ đề/ chủ ngữ thường đứng đầu câu, thông tin mới về chủ ngữ thường ở cuối. Trong một câu chủ động tác nhân (agent - người/vật thực hiện hành động) thường đứng đầu và làm S trong câu: Subject (Agent) + Action + Result E.g. Olympiakos scored the first goal. (Câu này chủ yếu nói về Olympiakos hơn là nói về việc ghi bàn thắng) Trong câu BĐ, kết quả hay đối tượng chịu tác động của hành động đứng đầu câu và làm S: Subject (Result) + Action + Agent E.g. - The first goal was scored by Olympiakos. - England have been beaten by Germany in a penalty shoot-out. (Báo chí Anh sẽ dùng câu này khi viết) => Germany have beated England in a penalty shoot-out. (Báo chí Đức sẽ dùng câu này khi viết) - Tác nhân thực hiện hành động không rõ, không quan trọng, chung chung: không dùng By + O E.g. - I was born in 1982. - Coffee will be made available after the meal. *. Chú ý: - Không phải tất cả các dạng BE + Vp2 cũng đều là Bị động. Vp2 có thể là tính từ E.g. - I was worried we would be late because of the traffic. - He is interested in cinema industry. - Cấu trúc bị động có dạng: Be + Being + Vp2 hay Been + Being + Vp2 thường không được sử dụng, đặc biệt trong văn viết. (Đó là lý do tại sao các thì hoàn thành tiếp diễn ít khi được dùng trong câu bị động) E.g. - Tránh dùng: The road will have been being repaired for months.
  26. Mà nên dùng: - Chỉ ngoại động từ (V buộc phải có tân ngữ) mới đượcdùng trong cấu trúc BĐ, các nội động từ (V không có tân ngữ - bản thân chúng đã đầy đủ ý nghĩa: run, walk, die, sleep, cry, ) không được dùng trong câu BĐ: E.g. Ta không nói: The tiger was died out early this century. mà nói: The tiger died out early this century. Notes: Quy tắc chuyển câu từ chủ động sang bị động - QT1: Xác định chính xác chủ ngữ, động từ, tân ngữ và thì của câu chủ động - QT2: Chuyển tân ngữ của câu CĐ thành chủ ngữ câu BĐ, chủ ngữ câu CĐ thành tân ngữ trong câu BĐ đặt sau “BY” (By + O đứng sau trạng từ chỉ nơi chốn và trước trạng từ thời gian nếu có) - QT3: Thêm To Be (phù hợp với thì/ cấu trúc của động từ trong câu chủ động) và chuyển V chính sang dạng Vp2 E.g. She arranges the books on the shelves every weekend. => The books are arranged on the shelves (by her) every weekend. II. INFINITIVES AND –ING FORM PASSIVES I.1. Infinitives Passives: To BE + Vp2/ To Have been + Vp2 E.g. - There’s so much to do. => There’s so much to be done. - I’ve to write this essay before Friday. => This essay has to be written before Friday. - I’m going to do it by then. => It’s going to be done by then. - The children would prefer history to be taught in a more practical way. - People say that Columbus found America in 1942. => America is said to have been found in 1942. - My new car was to have been delivered today but there was a problem with the paintwork. (Be + to V: dự định, phải) - They wanted you to tell me story again.=> They wanted the story to be told again. - It is embarrassing to be watched by lotf of people At home. - I want these dishes to have been washed when I come back. I.2. Make/See/Hear/Help Sb + do St => To BE + Made/Seen/Heard/Help + to do St E.g - I heard him shout at his brother. => He was heard to shout at his brother. - They’ve made him promise not to come before 6. => He’s been made to promise not to come before 6. I.3. Let/Allow: Let Sb do St => Sb + be + allowed to do St E.g. My parents let me do what I wanted. =>I was allowed to do what I wanted. (không dùng was let to do ) I.4. Passive –ING Forms: Being + Vp2/ Having Been + Vp2 Dạng BĐ với ĐDT (Being + Vp2) và ĐDT Hoàn thành (Having Been + Vp2) thường được sử dụng dụng sau các V, cấu trúc theo sau bởi V.ing hoặc trong mđ rút gọn với nghĩa VÌ/ KHI/SAU KHI E.g. - I love being given flowers. - She recalled having been taken there when she was young.
  27. - Avoid being disturbed, she works in a quite room. - That company tried to prevent the book from being published. - I am annoyed at having been made fun of. - She forgot having been given a big sum of money that day. - Being paid monthly, I find annual bills hard to pay.
