谓语的类型大体上可以分为两类:简单谓语和复合谓语。

1.简单谓语(Simple Predicate):
简单谓语由一个动词(包括成语动词)构成,不管是什么时态、语态,都是简单谓语:
Don't stand on ceremony.
别客气
Do you want a bottle or a can?
你要一瓶还是一罐?
We've been looking forward to this day.
我们一直盼望着这一天。
The measure has been approved.
这项措施己被批准。
I applied for the job but they turned down my application because I didn't know French.
我申请那份工作,他们没接受我的申请,因为我不懂法语。

2.复合谓语(Compound Predicate):
复合谓语多由两部分构成,一类由一个系动词加一个不定式(带to或不带to)构成(a),一类由系动词加表语构成(b):
a.I may be wrong.
我可能是错的。
You'll have to be careful.
你得小心。
I ought to have told you.
我本应当先的。
He seems to have lost her confidence.
他好像已失去了信心。

b.For many years he remained single.
许多年他一直是单身。
That's my view.
这是我的看法。
These flowers smell nice.
这些花很香。
This sounds a good idea.
这听起来是一个好主意。

有些谓语介乎两者间:
He died a martyr in the cause of science.
他为科学事业献身了。
She returned a mother of three children.她回来时已是二个孩子的妈妈了。
