All you can do is VR 你能做的只有...

此句型是一種「準分裂句」(pseudo-cleft sentence)用來加強「V...的部分」。亦可以寫成下列的句型。

 

All 

主詞

can

do

is/was

VR 

All that

主詞

should

do

is/was

VR

What

主詞

have to

do

 is/was

VR

What

主詞

want to

 

is/was

VR

(...只要...就行了。)

The only thing

主詞

want to

 

is/was

VR.

說明「主詞能做的只有」,注意be動後面接「原型動詞」,省略to。主詞後的should, can, have to, want to可互換。前面的風All ,All that, What一樣也可互換。

原句型為:All S do be (to) +原型動詞...
