系动词，也称连系动词（Linking verb），是用来辅助主语的动词。它本身有词义，但不能单独用作谓语，其后必须跟表语，构成系表结构说明主语的状况、性质、特征等情况。
在英语中，系动词的功能主要是把表语（名词、形容词、某些副词、非谓词、介词短语、从句）和它的主语联系在一起，说明主语的性质、特征、品行或状态。它有自己的但不完全的词义，不能在句中独立作谓语，必须和后面的标语一起构成句子的谓语。它虽是虚词，但是其用法是复杂，而且不可忽视。
形容词的位置一般有两种：
1。 放在名词的前面，a red flower; careful girls, delicious food， a heavy rain,
2。跟在系动词的后面.
