省略
簡單句中的省略
1、省略主語 祈使句中主語通常省略；其它省略主語多限于少數現成的說法。

(4) (I) Beg your pardon
2、省略主謂或主謂語的一部分

(3) (Will you) Have a smoke ?
(4) What/How (do you think) about a cup of tea ?
(5) Why (do you) not say hello to him ?
3、省略作賓語的不定式短語，只保留to，但如果該賓語是動詞be或完成時態，則須在之后加上be或have:
(1) –Are you going there? --Yes, I’d like to (go there).
(2) He didn’t give me the chance, though he had promised to (give me the chance).

5、同時省略幾個成分

主從復合句中的省略

(2) –She must be busy now? --If so, she can’t go with us.
(3) –Is she feeling better today? --I’m afraid not.
(4) –Do you think he will attend the meeting? --I guess not.
這種用法常見的有：How so? Why so? Is that so? I hope so. He said so.及I suppose/believe/hope not.
并列句中的省略
兩個并列句中，后一個分句常省略與前一分句中相同的部分。
(1) My father is a doctor and my mother (is) a nurse.
(2) I study at college and my sister (studies) at high school.
(3) When summer comes, the day is getting longer and longer, and the night (is getting) shorter and shorter. 
其他省略
1、連詞的that省略
(1)賓語從句中常省略連詞that，但也有不能省略的情況。
(2) 在定語從句中，that在從句中作賓語時可省略.另外，凡是進行時態和被動語態的定語從句都可省略關系代詞和be 動詞。
2、在某些狀語從句中，從句的主語與主句的主語一致時，可省去“主語+be”部分
(1) When (he was) still a boy of 10, he had to work day and night.
(2) She tried her best though (she was) rather poor in health.
(3) If (you are) asked you may come in.
(4) If (it is) necessary I’ll explain to you again.
3、不定式符號to的省略
(1) 并列的不定式可省去后面的 to.

(2) help 當“幫助”講時，后面的賓語或賓補的不定式符號to可帶可不帶.
I will help (to) do it for you.
I will help you (to) do it.
（3）介詞but前若有動詞do,后面的不定式不帶 to.
The boy did nothing but play.
(4) 某些使役動詞（let, make, have）及感官動詞（see, watch, hear, notice, observe, feel, look at, listen to等）后面作賓語補足語的不定式一定要省去 to, 但在被動語態中須將to 復原。

命題意圖：此題考查not在賓語從句中的“替代性”省略。此題屬四星級題。
知識依托：“so”可代替某些動詞后的賓語從句，但絕不能用it或that。這些常用的動詞有：believe,be afraid,expect,hope,imagine,suppose等。例：
—Is she going to the party tonight?
—I think so./I hope so.
其否定有兩種：①動詞用否定結構。
②用not代替so。
又如：—Do you think he will pass the exam?
—I don’t think so./I think not.前者更常用。
錯解分析：A項應為I don’t believe so。
C項否定也應否定謂語。
解題方法與技巧：根據具體語言環境，正確運用表達觀點的方法。
答案：D
2.________ for the free ticket,I would not have gone to the films so often.
A.If it is not B.Were it not
C.Had it not been D.If there were to 
命題意圖：旨在考查虛擬條件中if的省略。此題屬五星級題。
知識依托：跟過去事實相反的虛擬條件句結構為If+主語+had+過去分詞，主語+would/could/might do…當if省略時，將had提主句首，即
Had+主語+過去分詞，主語+would/could/might do…
錯解分析：A項不是虛擬語氣結構。
B項是跟現在事實相反的虛擬條件句。
D項是跟將來事實相反的虛擬條件句。
解題方法與技巧：從題干的后一句話入手，可看出I would not have gone to…是跟過去事實相反的虛擬條件句，故答案為C。譯為：要不是因為票是免費的，我也就不會經常去看電影了。
答案：C
3.—You ought to have given them some advice.
—________,but who cared what I asked?
A.So it was B.So I ought to have
C.So I did D.So I ought to
命題意圖：考查ought to后作賓語的不定式的省略。此題屬五星級題。
知識依托：ought to, want, hope等動詞后可省略作賓語的不定式短語，但該賓語若是be動詞或動詞的完成時，則需在to后加be或have。
—Are you a soldier?
—No,but,wish to be(a soldier).
答案：B
4.The research is so designed that once________ nothing can be done to change it.
(NMET 2002) 
A.begins B.having begun
C.beginning D.begun
命題意圖：此題考查省略在狀語從句中的應用。此題屬四星級題。
知識依托：當主句的主語和狀語從句主句一致（或從句主語為it),且從句中含be,可把從句的主語和be一起省略，例：
I wonder why he didn’t do as(he was) told to.
錯解分析：A、B、C項都為主動，而research應是由人啟動的，應用被動。
解題方法與技巧：此類詞，應分清主、被動關系。
答案：D

●錦囊妙計
掌握好省略句，應注意以下幾條：
1.感官動詞或使役動詞（如：notice,hear,let,make)等后接不定式作賓補時省略to,被動時to不能省略。
2.在prefer to do rather than…,cannot help but…do, nothing …but等句型中常省略to。
3.為避免重復，作某些動詞（hope,want)等賓語或（tell,order,ask)的賓補時，省略不定式短語，只保留不定式符號to。
4.應注意狀語從句、定語從句中的省略。
狀語從句中，如果謂語含動詞be,主語又與主句主語一致或主語是it,從句中主語和be一齊省略。
5.注意not ,so ,neither, nor的“替代性”省略。
