六、固定搭配、习惯用语和词汇的特殊用法 1. Seem的用法
(1) seem常常和不定式，形容词，分词，名词和介词短语搭配。
1) seem后跟不定式（短语）时，要注意不定式所表示动作发生的时间，以此来确定不定式的时态。seem后不定式的否定式习惯上用 don’t 来代替，（放在seem 前），
2) seem +形容词=seem+to be+adj。但目前由于英语的发展，seem+to be+形容词结构的用法已越来越少，seem+adj的结构已趋成型，属口语语体。
3) seem后用现在分词还是过去分词取决于分词本身的逻辑主语，如句中的主语是分词的逻辑主语，用现在分词，反之用过去分词。
(2) seem常用于it作形式主语的“It seems/seemed that……”结构。在这一句式中，常省去that。
(3) seem常用于由as if/though引导的从句中，在这种句式中，如从句所叙述的情实现的可能性比较大，从句谓语用陈述语气；若实现的可能性较小，或根本不可能实现，从句的谓语则用虚拟语气。
(4) seem通常用在“It seems(seemed)to sb(that)……”的结构中，这种结构常用来表示“行为”的主体。
(5) seems也常用在“there seem(s) to be”句式中，用来代替be，作句子的谓语。这个结构的否定形式为“There seem(s) to be +no+n.”或“There doesn’t seem to be +n.”
(6) seem有时也同人称代词I连用，意为“感到好像、觉得似乎”等意。??
