I Bảng công thức 12 thì và cách ghi nhớ

12 thì trong tiếng anh

Hiện tại Quá khứ Tương lai

Đơn (V)

Tiếp diễn (be V-ing)

Hoàn thành (have V3)

Hoàn thành tiếp diễn


(have been V-ing)

Có 3 thì chính trong tiếng Anh đó là: hiện tại, quá khứ và tương lai.
Và có 4 khía cạnh thì đó là: đơn, tiếp diễn, hoàn thành và hoàn thành tiếp diễn.
Chúng ta lấy 3 thì chính * 4 khía cạnh = 12 thì trong tiếng Anh.
Ví dụ ta có: hiện tại đơn, hiện tại tiếp diễn, hiện tại hoàn thành và hiện tại hoàn thành tiếp
diễn. Tương tự ở thì quá khứ và tương lai.

Công thức các thì ở khía cạnh đơn

Hiện tại Quá khứ Tương lai

Đơn (V) V1 V2 will + Vo

Ví dụ play (s) played will play

do/ does did will do

Ở khía cạnh đơn, ta có công thức là “V”. Và V là gì thì phụ thuộc vào 3 thì.
Hiện tại ta sử dụng V1, quá khứ ta sử dụng V2. Riêng đối với thì tương lai, thì sẽ có thêm
trợ động từ khiếm khuyết là will (sẽ). Và sau will + Vo.

Công thức các thì ở khía cạnh tiếp diễn

Hiện tại Quá khứ Tương lai

Tiếp diễn (be Ving) am/ is/ are V-ing was/ were V-ing will be V-ing

Ví dụ am/ is/ are playing was/ were playing will be playing

am/ is/ are doing was/ were doing will be doing

Ở khía cạnh tiếp diễn, ta có công thức là “be + V-ing”. Và be là gì thì sẽ phụ thuộc vào 3 thì.
Hiện tại của be là “am/ is/ are” tuỳ theo chủ ngữ là số ít hay số nhiều, quá khứ của be là
“was/ were”. Riêng ở tương lai thì cần có will => will be (sau will xài Vo, Vo của be là “be”).

13
Công thức các thì ở khía cạnh hoàn thành

Hiện tại Quá khứ Tương lai

Hoàn thành (have V3) have/ has V3 had V3 will have V3

Ví dụ have/ has played had played will have played

have/ has done had done will have done

Ở khía cạnh hoàn thành, ta có công thức là “have + V3”. Have là gì thì phụ thuộc vào 3 thì.
Hiện tại là “have/ has” tuỳ theo chủ ngữ số ít hay số nhiều. Quá khứ là had. Riêng tương lai
thì phải có will + have (have nguyên mẫu vì đứng ở sau will)

Công thức các thì ở khía cạnh hoàn thành tiếp diễn

Hiện tại Quá khứ Tương lai

Hoàn thành tiếp diễn have/ has been had been V-ing will have been
(have been Ving) V-ing V-ing

Ví dụ have/ has been had been playing will have been


playing playing

have/ has been had been doing will have been


doing doing

Ở khía cạnh hoàn thành tiếp diễn, ta có công thức “have been V-ing”. Have là gì thì phụ
thuộc vào 3 thì.
Hiện tại là “have/ has” tuỳ theo chủ ngữ số ít hay số nhiều. Quá khứ là had. Riêng tương lai
thì phải có will + have (have nguyên mẫu vì đứng ở sau will)

23
Động từ
I Động từ hành động và động từ nối

1 Động từ hành động (Action verb)


Khái niệm: là động từ chỉ hành động của chủ ngữ.
Ex: write, run, walk, read, drive ...
Động từ hành động chia ra làm 2 dạng: ngoại động từ và nội động từ.

Ngoại động từ
Là động từ gây tác động ra bên ngoài, nên cần tân ngữ theo sau. Nếu không có tân ngữ, thì
câu sẽ bị thiếu nghĩa.
Ex: He wrote a letter (anh ấy viết 1 lá thư). Tân ngữ là “letter”, nếu không có tân ngữ, người
ta sẽ thắc mắc anh ấy “wrote” cái gì?

Công thức: S + V + O

Nội động từ
Là động từ không gây tác động ra bên ngoài, không cần tân ngữ theo sau thì câu vẫn đủ
nghĩa.
Ex:
He slept (Anh ấy đã ngủ).
The dog runs (Con chó chạy).

Công thức: S + V

Một số từ có thể là ngoại và nội động từ


She is eating. = Cô ấy đang ăn. → nội động từ.
She is eating a cake. = Cô ấy đang ăn một cái bánh. → ngoại động từ.

2 Động từ nối (Linking verb)


Là động từ diễn tả trạng thái của chủ ngữ thay vì hành động.
Các động từ nối hay gặp: be (am, is, was, were,..), look/ appear/ seem (có vẻ), feel (cảm
thấy), remain/ stay (vẫn, giữ nguyên), sound (nghe có vẻ)...
Sau động từ nối thì thường là tính từ để mô tả trạng thái của chủ ngữ.
Ex:
- He looks handsome (Anh ấy trông khá bảnh).
- She feels sad (Cô ấy cảm thấy buồn).
- I am still young and naive (Tôi vẫn còn trẻ và ngây thơ).
Ngoài ra, sau động từ nối có thể là danh từ. Nhưng ít khi xuất hiện khi làm bài thi TOEIC P5.
Ex:
- He is a teacher.
- He became a doctor 2 years ago.

24
II Trợ động từ (Auxiliary verb)

1 Khái niệm
Trợ động từ là các động từ hỗ trợ các động từ khác để tạo nên cấu trúc về thì động từ, câu
bị động, câu nghi vấn,..

Có 2 loại trợ động từ


Trợ động từ chính (primary auxiliary verb) Trợ động từ tình thái (modal verb)

be, do, have will, should, can, could, may, might, must…

Trong một cấu trúc có dùng trợ động từ thì sẽ có 2 động từ: Trợ động từ + động từ chính

● Trợ động từ được chia theo thì và phù hợp với chủ ngữ.
● Động từ chính được chia theo dạng V-ing hoặc V3/ed hoặc Vo tùy theo cấu trúc.

Ex:
The children are swimming in the pool. (Bọn trẻ đang bơi trong bể bơi.)
She could play the piano when she was five. (Cô ấy có thể chơi piano khi cô ấy mới 5 tuổi.)

2 Cách dùng

Trợ động từ chính


“be”: được sử dụng trong các thì tiếp diễn, công thức “be V-ing”
Ex: He is running.

“have”: được sử dụng trong các thì hoàn thành, công thức “have V3”
Ex: I have done my homework.

“do”: được sử dụng trong các thì hiện tại, quá khứ đơn để thành lập câu hỏi, câu phủ định.
Ex:
Câu hỏi:
Do you have a pen?
I do not have a pen.
I did not call her yesterday.

Trợ động từ tình thái


“can, may, must, should,...” dùng để chỉ khả năng, sự cho phép… “will” được sử dụng trong
các thì tương lai.
Ex: You can do it.
I will call you tomorrow.

25
3 Be, do, have cũng có thể là động từ chính
Viết tắt từ ở bảng bên dưới: Trợ động từ => TĐT, động từ chính => ĐTC
have do be

I have done it. I do not know her. He is running.


Trợ động từ
have là TĐT do là TĐT is là TĐT
done là ĐTC know là ĐTC running là ĐTC

I have a pen. I did my homework. He is happy.


Động từ chính
have là ĐTC did là ĐTC, có nghĩa là is là ĐTC, là động từ
có nghĩa là có. làm. nối.

Làm sao để biết khi nào “be/ do/ have” là động từ chính?
Đơn giản là sau “be do have” không phải là một động từ thì be do have là động từ chính.

III Các vấn đề khác của động từ

1 Cụm động từ (phrasal verb)


Cụm động từ là sự kết hợp giữa động từ + trạng từ/giới từ.
Ex: get out, calm down, give away, make up,..
Cụm động từ sẽ có nghĩa khác so với động từ riêng lẻ.

Động từ thường Phrasal verb

take = lấy take off= cất cánh

draw = vẽ draw up= viết, tạo ra

2 Câu mệnh lệnh (Imperative sentence)


Câu mệnh lệnh (Imperative Sentences) là cấu trúc câu thường sử dụng để đưa ra sự yêu
cầu, sai khiến, định hướng.
Câu mệnh lệnh là câu thường bắt đầu với động từ nguyên mẫu và không có chủ ngữ (trừ
một số trường hợp).
Từ cảm thán “please” thường được thêm vào để tăng phép lịch sự khi nói.
Ex:
Leave the book under my doormat.
(Please) tell me about that.
Call me by your name.
If you need any assistance, contact one of our financial assistants.

26
3 Hậu tố động từ
ate ify en ise/ize

create notify weaken realize


communicate clarify shorten advertise

4 Quy tắc vàng


Trong một câu, thành phần quan trọng và không thể thiếu đó là động từ chính, thường là
động từ chia thì hoặc modal verb + Vo.
Khi làm bài tập về động từ, các bạn hãy xem kỹ câu đã có động từ chính hay chưa, nếu
chưa thì chỉ cần chọn động từ là được.

Ex: I ___ a book a week

(A) reading (B) to read (C) reads (D) read

Giải thích:
Câu còn thiếu động từ chính chia thì, loại A, B.
Loại C vì chủ ngữ là I, động từ nguyên mẫu => chọn D.
