三、重点语法总结
1.现在分词(-ing
形式)的构成。
v.-ing
形式由
“do+ing”
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
构成,其否定形式是
“not
doing”,v.-ing
可以带宾语或状语构成v.-ing短语,没有人称和数的变化,但有时态和语态的变化。
2.动词-ing
形式的被动式分一般式和完成式:
(1)
一般式:表示这个被动的动作正在进行或与谓语表示的动作同时发生。
(2)
完成式:强调这个被动的动作在谓语动词所表示的动作之前完成。
语态时态
主动语态
被动语态
一般式
(not)doing
(not)being
done
完成式
(not)having
done
(not)having
been
done
3.动词-ing的被动式的句法功能。
(1)作主语。如:So_being_killed_by_sharks
was
a
common
thing.
(2)作宾语,用在介词后或需要带-ing
形式作宾语的动词后。如:
George
didn't
like
being_kept_waiting.
He
was
terrified
of
being_abandoned_by_us.
Do
you
remember_having_been_taken
to
Beijing
at
the
age
of
ten
(3)作表语。如:
What
worried
the
child
most
was
his
not_being_allowed_to
visit
his
mother
in
the
hospital.
(4)作定语。如:
The
problem
being_discussed
is
of
great
importance.
(5)作状语。如:
Having_been_shown_around
the
library,we
were
taken
to
see
the
lab.
(6)作补足语。如:
As
we
drew
closer
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ),I
could
see
a
whale
being_attacked
by
a
pack
of
about
six
other
killers.
When
we
approached
him,I
saw
James
being_held_up
in
the
water
by
Old
Tom.
[注意]
(1)v.-ing
形式的被动式主要在句
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )子中作状语、宾语补足语和定语。但v.-ing
形式的被动式的完成式,一般在句中作状语(偶尔作非限定定语),不作其他成分。
They
don't
like
the_design_of_the_new_bridge_being_built.(正在建造的桥的设计)
Not_having_been_completed,the
museum
can't
be
visited
yet.(由于没有完工……)
(2)v.-ing
形式的被动式逻辑
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )主语(即动作的承受者)如果也是主句的主语,就不需要表示出来,但是如果逻辑主语不是主句的主语,就得把v.-ing
形式自己的主语表示出来。如:
The
whole
classroom
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
having_been_cleaned,the
students
went
home
happily.
(3)在want,need,deserve,require,repay,bear,take等动词及形容词worth后,习惯用动词-ing的主动形式表示被动意义,相当于“to
be
done”。如:
The
house
wants_cleaning.
这房屋需要打扫。
My
watch
needs_repairing.
我的手表需要修理。
The
way
deserves_mentioning.
这个方法值得一提。
These
young
trees
will
require_looking_after
carefully.
这些小树需要细心照顾。
The
film
is
worth_seeing.
