Tom seems (to be ) a very clever boy. 汤姆看上去是一个非常聪明的男孩。

二、“主语+ seem + 不定式”,此句型中的seem与不定式一起构成复合谓语。例如:

Mrs Green doesn’t seem (或seems not ) to like the idea. 格林夫人似乎不太喜欢这个主意。

三、“It seems + that从句”,其中it 是形式主语,that引导主语从句。例如:

It seems that no one knows what has happened in the park. 似乎没有人知道在公园里发生了什么事。

四、“There + seem to be +名词”,其中to be 可省略。seem 的单复数形式要根据后面作主语的名词的单复数形式而定。例如:

There seems no need to wait longer. 看来没有再等的必要了。
