定语从句和分词短语做定语的区别解答时间:2009-12-07 20:58:00既然分词短语做定语的时候往往都可以和定语从句互换,那我想知道什么时候可以用分词短语做定语,什么时候可以用定语从句例如:The boy who is playing football is my brother.为什么也可以用The boy playing football is my brother.分词短语做定语在大多数情况下都可与定语从句相转换。
这是非谓语动词的语法特点。
The school which was built twenty years ago is our school=The school built twenty years ago is our school但完成式的现在分词短语不能用作定语。
如果两个动作有先后,要用定语从句。
误:This is one of the factories having been built in 1980.正:This is one of the factories that were built in 1980.正:This is one of thefactories built in 1980去分词是非谓语动词的一种形式,表示完成和被动的动作。
它在句子中可以充当表语、定语等成份。
下面仅谈其作定语和表语的用法。
一、过去分词作定语过去分词作定语有前置和后置两种情况。
1、前置定语单个的过去分词作定语,通常放在被修饰的名词之前,表示被动和完成意义。
A类:被动意义:an honored guest 一位受尊敬的客人The injured workers are now being taken good care of in the hospital.受伤的工人现正在医院受到良好的照料。
B类:完成意义:a retired teacher 一位退休的教师They are cleaning the fallen leaves in the yard.他们正在打扫院子里的落叶。
2、后置定语过去分词短语作定语时,通常放在被修饰的名词之后,它的作用相当于一个定语从句。
如:This will be the best novel of its kind ever written (=that has ever been written).这将是这类小说中写得最好的。
Who were the so-called guests invited (=who had been invited) to your party last night?昨晚被邀请参加你的晚会的那些所谓的客人是谁呀?二、过去分词作表语作表语的过去分词主要来自及物动词,在主-系-表句型中,说明主语所处的一种状态。
其中系动词有包括be在内的多种形式。
如:You seem frightened. 你看样子受了惊吓。
少数不及物动词(如go, come, set)的过去分词也能作表语,但它们不表示被动意义,只是表示动作完成。
如:They are gone for vacation. 他们度假去了。
注意:要区别“系动词+过去分词(系表结构)” 和“系动词+过去分词(被动语态)”。
如:A. The library is now closed. 图书馆现在关门了。
B. The library is closed at six. 图书馆经常在六点钟关门。
说明:作表语用的过去分词表示主语的特点或所处的状态,强调主谓关系。
这种结构中的过去分词前可加quite, very, rather等修饰词。
系动词可有多种,表示不同的意义;被动语态表示动作,强调动宾关系,绝大多数被动结构中的行为执行者还可以用by短语来表示。
因此,我们不难看出在上面两句中,A句是系表结构,B句是被动语态。
从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

现在分词表主动,正在进行的;过去分词表被动的,已经完成的。
对于液体来说是加热的受动者,是被动的,因而选C。
它相当于一个状语从句When it is heated,…注意:选择现在分词还是过去分词,要害看主句的主语。
如分词的动作是主句的主语发出,分词就选用现在分词,反之就用过去分词。
