1、定义
动词-ed和动词-ing形式常称作分词。他们既有动词的特征,又有形容词和副词的特征,在英语(Q吧)中可以作定语、状语、表语和宾语补足语。
2、构成
(1)规则的动词后+ed构成动词-ed形式,不规则的需要记忆。动词-ed形式没有一般式和完成式、主动语态和被动语态的变化。
(2)动词-ing形式有一般式和完成式、主动语态和被动语态区别。
下列以及物动词write和不及物动词go列表示例:
write
go
主 动 被 动
动词-ing一般式 writing being written going
动词-ing完成式 having written having been written
动词-ed written gone
3、用法
(1)作定语
单个的分词作定语,一般置于所修饰的词前;分词短语作定语置于所修饰的词后,相当于一个定语从句。如:
Many excited people wanted to travel on the underground.
许多兴奋的人们想乘地铁旅行。
The countries you referred to just now belong to developing countries.
你刚才提到的那些国家属于发展中国家。
People developed a kind of paper made from the fibers of plants.
=People developed a kind of paper which/that was made from the fibers of plants.
人们研制出一种用植物纤维制成的纸。
The houses being built are for the teachers.
=The houses which/that are being built are for the teachers.
正在(被)建的那些房子是给老师们的。
The little boy standing over there is a classmate of mine.
站在那边的小男孩是我班的同学。
* 不定式、过去分词和现在分词作定语的区别
不定式作定语一般表示将来的动作;现在分词作定语常表示正在进行的动作;过去分词作定语表示过去的动作。如:
The problem to be discussed tomorrow is very important.
The problem discussed yesterday is very important.
The problem being discussed now is very important.
(2)作状语
a)分词作状语的基本原则
分词作状语时,分词的逻辑主语必须与句子的主语保持一致。分词作状语时,必须与句中的主语含有逻辑上的主谓关系或动宾关系。
b)分词作状语形式的选择
形 式 意 义
v.+-ing (doing) 与句中主语构成逻辑上的主谓关系,与句中谓语动词同时发生,或基本上同时发生。
having+v.-ed
(having done)
与句中主语构成逻辑上的主谓关系,先于谓语动词发生。
v.+-ed (done) 与句中主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系。
being +v.-ed
(being done) 与句中主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系,且与谓语动词同时发生,一般作原因状语置于句首。
having been+
v-ed
(having been
done)
与句中主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系,且先于谓语动词发生。
