英語語法詳解--ING分詞(一)
內(nèi) 容 提 要-ING分詞也是動詞的非限定性形式,由動詞原形+-ING構(gòu)成,在句中可以直接作主語,也可用形式主語it來代替,而把-ING分詞放到后邊;可以作表語;作賓語時對動詞有一定的要求,有的動詞只能跟接-ING分詞,有的動詞則既可以跟不定式也可以跟-ING分詞,而且-ING分詞還可作介詞的賓語;在作賓語補(bǔ)足語時對動詞也有一定的要求;作狀語時,-ING分詞要與其邏輯主語呼應(yīng),否則就要用獨(dú)立結(jié)構(gòu);-ING分詞作定語時相當(dāng)于一個定語從句。跟動詞不定式一樣,-ING分詞也有它的完成時態(tài)、被動語態(tài)和否定形式;最后我們還要了解-ING分詞的邏輯主語問題。
第一節(jié) -ING分詞的形式
-ING分詞是指由動詞原形+-ING構(gòu)成的、具有完成時態(tài)和被動語態(tài)的一種非謂語動詞形式,具體形式如下
主動形式 被動形式
一般時 doing being done
完成時 having done having been done
就其語法功能而言,它可以作主語、表語、賓語、賓語補(bǔ)語、狀語和定語。
第二節(jié) -ING分詞的用法
一、 作主語
1. 一般形式
1) the matriculation for postgraduate is probably the turning point of my life.
[A] Taking the part of [B] Taking part in [C] To take the part of [D] To take the notice in
2) a teacher is being present at the creation, when the clay begins to breathe.
。跘] As[B] To be[C] Is[D] Being
3) by transforming the blame to others is often called scapegoating.
。跘]Eliminate problems[B]The eliminated problems[C]Eliminating problems[D]Problems are eliminated
2. 有時可以用it做形式主語
It's waste of time arguing with the gossip about it.
It's interesting having traveled to Beidaihe this year.[說明:從這句中我們可以看出,這種結(jié)構(gòu)通常適用于名詞和形容詞。但不適用于像possible, important, essential, necessary等表示性質(zhì)的形容詞,這些詞后面一般要跟動詞不定式。我們不能說 It's quite necessary taking part in the negociation.應(yīng)改作It's quite necessary to take part in the negociation.]
It's glorious getting involved in working out the plan.
4) It is [A] possible determining that [B] French explorers reached the jucture of [C] the Kansas and Missouri rivers [D] in the seventeenth century.
