What is predicative
Predicative comes after a verb such as be, become, get, seem, look etc. It tells what is said about the subject.
Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
a. Every artist’s wish is to create something that expresses an idea.
b. He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”.
c. Dao Meilan’s passion is dancing.
1. Apart from nouns and adjectives, what other word forms can serve as predicative
to-infinitive
-ed
-ing
Apart from nouns and adjectives, to-infinitive, -ed, -ing
can serve as predicative.
2. Can “interested” in sentence (b) be replaced by “interesting” Why or why not
No, it can’t. Because “interested” usually indicates a person’s interest in something while “interesting” usually indicates something making a person interested. In sentence (b), the subject is “he”, which refers to a person.
b. He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”.
1. One way for him to find inspiration is turning to his children’s toys.
2. He is most widely known for composing music for the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
3. To listen to Tan’s music is to experience a mix of Chinese
musical traditions and Western influences.
Now look for more sentences with these structures in the reading passage.
1. 动词不定式形式作表语时表示的动作往往是具体的、一次性的动作，特别是将来的动作。通常主语是表示“目的，愿望，梦想，需求”等名词或what引导的主语从句。
e.g. My purpose is to climb to the top of the snow Mountain.
如果主语部分含有动词do，则表语中的to可以省略。
e.g. a. What I want to do is (to) get some fresh water.
b. What I need is to make them happy, not tired.
动词不定式、动词-ing形式、动词-ed形式作表语
2. 动词-ing形式作表语时通常表示一般性、习惯性的动作或抽象的动作，大部分时候主语与表语可以互换。
e.g. The real question is getting to know the needs of the
students.
= Getting to know the needs of the students is the real
question.
动词-ing形式作表语还可以表示主语具有的特征和属性。
e.g. The news is really exciting.
3. 动词-ed形式作表语时常表示主语(人或事物)的存在状态或情感情绪等。
e.g. a. The cups are broken. 杯子碎了。
(broken表示主语的存在状态)
b. I am very disappointed at the news.
我对这个消息感到很失望。
(disappointed表示主语的情绪——感到失望)
4. 动词-ed形式作表语与被动语态的区别:
通常用来描写情景、叙述人或事物的特征及所处的状态
在功能上更接近形容词，用于系动词之后
强调动作，重点说明动作由谁完成、怎样完成。被动语态中的过去分词动作意味强。
e.g. The shop is closed now. It was closed by the manager.
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!
