现在分词

现在分词普遍用于动词进行式的一部份丶感知动词后丶行进动词后或用作形容词。

现在分词用作动词进行式的一部份

现在分词是所有进行式时态的动词的要素,包括过去进行时丶现在进行时丶未来进行时丶条件式进行时等。助词会表明时态,而现在分词则维持不变。

举例
  • He is painting.
  • She was waiting.
  • They will be coming.
  • We would be staying.
  • I would have been leaving.
在感知动词后的现在分词

现在分词可以用在感知动词后,表达被感受到的动作。句型为:动词 + 受词 + 现在分词。

举例
  • We saw him swimming across the pond.
  • I watched her painting Sarah's portrait.
  • I couldn't hear her singing because of the noise.
  • I would like to see you knitting sometime.
表示行进丶动作或姿势的动词后面接现在分词,表达并行的动作。
举例
  • She sat looking at the sea.
  • He walks reading his newspaper.
  • I cook listening to the radio.
  • Sally lay listening to the bugs in the grass.
将现在分词用作形容词
举例
  • Did you read that amazing book?
  • This movie is so exciting!
  • His economics class is boring.
