现在分词的七种用法 (一)作定语 1
动词现在分词单独作定语,通常放在所修饰词前
The sleeping boy is Tom
现在分词短语作定语放在所修饰词的后面,意思同定语从句差不多
例如 : Tell the children playing outside not to make too much noise
= Tell the children who are playing outside not to make too much noise
现在分词可相当于非限制性定语,常用逗号分开
Tom, wearing beautiful clothes, followed me down the hill
= Tom, who is wearing beautiful clothes, followed me down the hill
有时现在分词可以和副词或名词构成复合词作定语
This is an English-speaking country
(二)作表语 现在分词作表语多表示主语的特征
如amusing, discouraging, puzzling, refreshing, astonishing, exciting 等
The story is moving
(三)现分在句中作宾语补足语,这时现在分词和前面的宾语有逻辑上的“主表”关系或“主谓”关系
We all found his equipment interesting
(主表关系) I saw Mary going upstairs then
(主谓关系) (四)作状语 现在分词作状语,其逻辑主语一般是句中的主语,如果不是,需在V-ing 形式前加名词或代词主格作逻辑主语
作原因状语,相当于原因状语从句
Being ill, Mary
