Betty Botter had some butter, "But," she said, "this butter's bitter. If I bake this bitter butter, it would make my batter bitter. But a bit of better butter-- that would make my batter better." So she bought a bit of butter, better than her bitter butter, and she baked it in her batter, and the batter was not bitter. So 'twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter.

3.Structures
——The –ing form as the predicative,
attribute and object complement
一、-ing形式作定语
动词的-ing形式作定语，所涉及的其实也就是动名词作定语及现在分词作定语的问题，它们在形式上一样，语法功能也很相近，但就其各自不同的表达意义则又有一定的区别。
1. 单个动词的-ing形式作定语位于被修饰名词的前面，可以表示被修饰者的用途和性能，这时它通常为动名词。如：
a working method?=a method of working? 工作方法
2.单个动词的-ing形式作定语位于被修饰名词的前面，也可以表示被修饰者的动作或状态，这时它是现在分词。如：
developing countries = countries that are developing
发展中国家
an ordinary-looking house = a house that looks ordinary
看起来很普通的房子
3. -ing形式短语作定语时, 放在所修饰的名词之后, 并且在意思上相当于一个定语从句，这时这个-ing形式的短语肯定是现在分词短语。如：
They lived in a house facing south.
= They lived in a house which is facing south.
他们住在一所朝南的房子里。
Anybody swimming in this river will be fined.
= Anybody who is swimming in this river will be fined.
在这条河里游泳的任何一个人都会被罚款。
4. -ing形式短语作为现在分词短语也可以用作非限制定语，相当于一个非限制性定语从句，这时它与句子其他部分用逗号分开。如：
The old man, sitting in the bench, is reading book.
= The old man, who was sitting in the bench, is reading book.
老人坐在长凳上，正在看书。
注意：在以下两种情况下，动词-ing形式不能用来作定语，必须用定语从句。
① 作定语的动词-ing形式表示的动作要与主句谓语的动作同时发生，如两者不能同时发生的话，则需使用定语从句。
② 动词-ing形式的完成式一般只用来作状语，不作定语。
二、-ing形式作表语
1. -ing形式作表语时放在系动词之后表示主语的性质、状态、功能及用途等。需要注意的是，这种-ing形式绝大多数情况下都为现在分词或分词短语，但在某些情况下则属于动名词，其区别在于前者更强调性质与状态，其形容词的特征十分明显；后者注重于功能与用途，其名词的特征十分明显，这时它基本上就是一个名词。如：
Her job is keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible.
她的工作是尽量使报告厅保持干净。（现在分词短语）
My major is swimming.我主修游泳。（动名词）
2.用来表示主语的身份或特征。如：
The news is quite exiting.
这条新闻很振奋人心。
三、-ing形式作宾语补足语
1. 动词的-ing形式作为现在分词或短语，在句中用作宾语补足语。
(1) 动词-ing形式作宾语补足语常放在宾语后面，表示一个正在进行的主动性的动作，强调一个过程或一种状态。如：
I saw him going upstairs.
我看见他正在上楼。
(2)当主句转换为被动结构时, 原来作宾语补足语的动词-ing形式便转换为主语补足语。如：
We heard her singing in her room. = She was heard singing in her room.
我们听到她在房间里唱歌。
2. 能用-ing形式作宾语补足语的几类动词:
(1) 在see, hear, feel, smell, find, notice, observe, look at, listen to等表示感觉和心理状态的动词后面，和一个名词或代词一起构成复合宾语。如:
We heard the children shouting upstairs.
我们听见孩子们在楼上叫喊。
I felt my heart beating violently.
我觉得我的心在猛烈地跳动。
(2)使役动词have, set, keep, get, catch, leave等后面通常可以用这种形式用作宾语补足语。如：
They should not leave us wondering what they will do next.
他们不应该不让我们知道他们下一步要做什么。
We kept the fire burning all night long.
我们让火整夜燃烧着。
3. see, hear, feel, watch等动词之后用-ing形式和动词不定式作宾语补足语的区别：
①用动词-ing形式时，表示动作正在进行；用不定式时，表示动作发生了，即动作的全过程结束了。如:
He saw a girl getting on the bus.
他看见一个女孩在上公共汽车。
He saw a girl get on the bus.
他看见一个女孩上了一辆公共汽车。
②如果宾语补足语是一系列的动作，通常只能用不定式来表示，不用动词-ing形式。如：
I saw him enter the room, sit down and light a cigarette.
我看见他走进房间，坐了下来，点燃了一根香烟。
1.Though I have often heard this song ______, I have never heard you ______ it.
A. being sung; sang B. sang; singing
C. sung; sing D. to be sung; to sing
答案C。hear sb. / sth.后可跟动词原形、-ing形式及动词过去分词作补语。一般来讲，跟动词原形表示一个完成的动作；跟-ing形式表示一个正在进行的动作；跟动词过去分词表示被动。
Exercise
2. It was so cold that they kept the fire ______ all night.
A. to burn B. burn
C. burning D. burned
答案C。keep sth. doing 表示“使……持续某种状态”。
3. He looked around and caught a man ______ his hand into the pocket of a passenger.
A. put B. to be putting
C. to put D. putting
答案D。本题中catch意为“碰上”、“撞见”，catch sb. doing sth.表示“撞见某人正在做某事”，用-ing形式作宾语补足语。
4. —Did you meet anyone ______ at the party?
—No, in fact, I found the party rather ______.
A. interesting; boring B. interested; boring
C. interesting; bored D. interested; bored
答案A。第1空，interesting作定语,修饰anyone；第2空, boring作宾语补足语。
