Now look for more sentences with these structures in the reading passage, and summarise their uses in your own words.
Do Activity 2 on Page 54 of the textbook.
Read the passage and underline the predicatives.
One of my biggest dreams had always been to see the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring, by the Dutch artist, Vermeer. It wasn't until we went on a trip to The Hague last year that this dream came true! There were lots of people waiting to enter the Mauritshuis. Although my legs were tired from walking around the city, I was determined to see the painting, which is often called the “Mona Lisa of the North”. Nobody is sure of the identity of the girl in it. And there she was. It was amazing to be standing in front of her at last! The girl is looking over her shoulder. Her eyes are wide and her mouth is parted, just as if she were about to speak. I would love to know what she was going to say!
Look at the following sentences.
His wish was to become an artist.
Her hobby is collecting stamps.
The lake is badly polluted.
Climbing is tiring and we are completely tired after a day's climbing.
What can you find
to-infinitive, -ing and -ed as predicative动词的不定式、ing和-ed 形式作表语
概述:
动词的不定式 (to do) 动词-ing 形式和-ed 形式在句中都可用作表语。
用法:
①动词的不定式作表语 ②动词的-ing形式作表语 ③动词的-ed形式作表语
区分:
① 动词的不定式和动词的-ing形式作表语的区别
② 动词的-ing 和-ed 形式作表语的区别
③ 动词的不定式作表语和不定式表示将来时的区别
④ 动词的-ing形式(动名词/现在分词)作表语和用于进行时的区别
⑤ 动词的-ed形式作表语和用于被动语态的区别
动词的不定式作表语
动词的语可以说明主语的具体内容,也可表示将来的动作。在表示“目的,愿望不定式作表,梦想,需求”等的名词作主语时其表语应该用不定式。
Our aim is to help them, not to teach them a lesson.
我们的目的是帮助他们,而不是教训他们。
(当动词的不定式用作表语时,其中的 to原则上是不能省略的。但也有特殊情况,当主语部分有动词 do的某种形式时,用作表语的不定式可以省略 to。)
What you have to do is fill in the form.
你要做的是填好这份表格。
用法
动词的-ing 形式作表语
动词的-ing 形式作表语用来说明主语的内容。一般用来表示主语的某种性质和状态,当与主语是同一概念的时候,主语与表语的位置可以互换。此外,还要注意主语与表语的一致性。
My job is teaching. 我的工作是教书。
(一般来说,表示比较抽象、一般的行为时多用动词的-ing形式作表语;表示具体某次动作,特别是将来的动作时,多用不定式作表语。有时两者都可以用,没有什么差别。)
What she likes is watching the children play.=What she likes is to watch the children play.
她喜欢的是看孩子们玩。
用法
动词的-ed 形式作表语
过去分词作表语时,总是在系动词 be appear、look remain、feelget 等之后,构成系表结构,表示主语所处状态或感受,主语多为人。分词所表示的动作与句子的主语构成动宾结构关系。
The novel is well written. 这部小说写得很好。
(动词的-ed 形式作表语与被动语态的区别:动的-ed 形式作表语表示主语的状态,而被动语态则表示主语所承受的动作。)
This lake is badly polluted. (动词的-ed形式)
这个湖受到了严重的污染。
用法
动词的不定式和动词的-ing 形式作表语的区别
动词的不定式作表语强调的是一次性、具体的、将要发生的动作;动词的-ing形式作表语强调的是一般性抽象的、经常发生的动作。
His job is to paint the walls.
他的工作是粉刷这些墙。
(一次性的,具体的,目前做的事情,并不是他日常的工作)
His job is painting walls.
他的工作是粉刷墙。(这是他日常的工作)
区分
动词的-ing 和-ed 形式作表语的区别
-ing形式说目主语的特征,-ed形式说明主语的状态。
This cat is frightening.
这只猫让人害怕。(说明猫的特征)
This cat is frightened.
这只猫有些害怕。(说明猫的状态)
区分
动词的不定式作表语和不定式表示将来时的区别
不定式作表语用于说明主语“是什么”,和主语之间是可以画等号的,不定式用来表示将来时态时,表示主语即将要执行的动作,和主语之间是不能画等号的。
What he wanted to suggest is to cut down the price and increase the sales.
他想建议的是降低价格、增加产量。
My American teacher is to leave China soon.
我的美国老师即将离开中国。
区分
动词的-ing 形式(动名词/现在分词)作表语和用于进行时的区别
动名词作表语说明主语“是什么”,现在分词作表语说明主语的特征。动词的-ing形式用于正在进行时时,说明主语正在执行的动作。
Her work is taking care of the children.
她的工作是照顾小孩。(说明主语“是什么”)
区分
动词的-ed 形式作表语和用于被动语态的区别
动词的-ed 形式作表语说明主语所处的状态。用于被动语态说明主语所承受的动作。
The cup is broken.
杯子碎了。(说明杯子的状态)
The cup was broken by Peter
杯子是被彼得打碎的。(说明杯子承受的动作——被打碎了)
