⑴ 作用与用法:
过去分词(表示完成和被动的动作)具有形容词、副词的作用,在句中可以用作定语、表语、宾语补足语和状语,但不能单独构成谓语。
① 定语
过去分词作定语,表示分词动作与所修饰的名词之间存在被动关系。单一的过去分词作定语一般放在被修饰的名词之前;过去分词短语作定语放在被修饰之后,过去分词及过去分词短语作定语均可以转换为一个定语从句。
如:
The broken window (=The window which was broken) will be replaced soon.
The books bought yesterday (which were bought yesterday ) are of high quality.
② 表语
过去分词作表语, 表示主语的状态, 且该状态通常是由外界因素引起的。这时过去分词可以被看作一个形容词, 是形容词化的过去分词。
如: I’m interested in reading novels written by Jin Yong.
③ 宾语补足语
作宾语补足语的过去分词一般是及物动词,和宾语有逻辑上的主谓关系。可以带过去分词作宾语补足语的动词有:
A. see, hear, watch, feel, think ,find 等表示感觉和心理状态的动词。
We found her greatly changed.
B. make, get, have, help, leave 等表示“致使”意义的动词
What made them so frightened
C. like, want, wish, order 等表示“希望、要求”等意义的动词
He won’t like such questions discussed at the meeting.
⑵ 现在分词与过去分词的区别:
① 定语中
现在分词作定语常表示“动作正在进行”,此时或当时的状态等;过去分词则常表示“动作发生在谓语动词的动作前”等;被修饰的名词一般是现在分词的逻辑主语,是过去分词的逻辑宾语。
② 表语
现在分词作表语,具有主动的含义,意味着“起这种作用”;而过去分词作表语具有被动含义, 意味着“受这种影响”。
如: The work was tiring. 这项工作挺累人的。
The worker were soon tired. 工人们很快就感到累了
③ 宾语补足语
现在分词作补足语,被补足的宾语或主语是它的逻辑主语(即主动关系);过去分词作补足语,被补足的宾语或主语是它的逻辑宾语(即被动关系)。
如: I heard someone calling me.
I heard my name called.
