Review: non-finite forms as attributive, adverbial and complement
Grammar
01
Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
a ...I saw the ground so fantastically carpeted.
b ...wake up to find yourself in another quite different，...
c ...I can see the children flattening their noses against the window，...
d ...flattened my nose against the cold window to watch the falling snow...
1 What is the difference between the verbs in bold in sentences（a）and（c）
2 In sentence（b），does “to find” indicate purpose or result
3 In sentence（d），does “to watch” indicate purpose or result What is the function of “falling”
“Carpeted”in sentence（a）is a past participle used as complement and “flattening” in sentence（c） is a present participle used as complement.
In sentence（b），“to find” indicates result.
In sentence（d），“to watch” indicates purpose；“falling” is an attributive used to describe the snow.
Now look for more sentences with these structures in the reading passage.
..., whom I found all looking through the window at the magic outside and talking away as excited as if Christmas had suddenly come round again.
..., and last year I was out of the country, sweating in hot climate,...
,... with the faintly flushed snow lining its branches and artfully disposed along its trunk,...
..., and all the trees so many black and threatening shapes.
There were indeed something curiously disturbing about the whole prospect.

Now think of more words in each category and add them to the boxes. Then describe nature during your favourite season with the words you have learnt.
Open a dictionary，and you’ll be surprised to find that there are many more words about nature than you would think. There are various ways to describe the things we see in the natural world，no matter whether it’s a flower，an animal or the rain. For example，there are many ways to describe the different sounds of birds，such as chatter，chirp，cluck，hoot and tweet. These words can help us to write vivid descriptions of nature.
