再探英語 -ing形式

V + ing" can be regarded as gerund or persent participle. Or it is used under continuous tense.

The case:
We are not to supplying vegetables.
"supplying", may be regarded as a participle.

講到 ING 如果想加長句子,,是否在句子最後的名詞之後加動詞,而這個動詞只要加了 ING , 便合文化了, 這樣便有新的內容了. 就像以上兩句一樣...

咁樣講係有少少錯...除左加ing外, 有時係要加ed
最基本既句型結構係SVO/SVC
S=subject, V=verb/ auxilary verb, O=object, C=complement
S同O/C, 都係由noun組成。

Case 2:
好似Sam is a waiter.
你可以向最後面加個個v+ing, 將個noun變做一個noun-clause,
Sam is a waiter serving many customers.

Case 3:
但係, 有時要用v+ed,
Sam is a waiter employed by Dick.

點解有咁既分別?
因為佢地其實有個名叫做persent participle/past participle,
向Case 2入面, 因為waiter serve一個customer, 係主動, 所以用persent participle,
向case 3, 因為waiter is employed, 係被動的, 所以用past participle


你既講法可以算係正確, 但並唔係任何情況之下通用。正確既講法應該係用clause尼加長句子, 而clause有分好多種, 如上文所舉的noun-clause, 仲有其他如that- clause等

向noun clause入面, verb會被幻化為participle, 而且要注意係active定係passive, 而分別用persent participle或者 past participle.


至於第一個問題:
I want to do as soon as do.
我個人就未見過呢種句型...所以唔敢話錯..
as soon as可以睇成一個adverb...
所以有"as adv. as"+ adj.
又或者用佢既時候要前後平衡..
eg. Maxi is as handsomely as Dick.

至於呢句:
The famous restautant, which had many people eating the dinner
並唔係一句完整句子...呢個只係一個noun..
「The famous restautant」= 「which had many people eating the dinner」

我想, 這個問題, 還是不好在yahoo 這裡找答案...

1) On...............................(adv)
being introduced,...(pre.p + p.p=passive voice in adv clause.)
British peaple often shake hands.

2) They left
without saying goodbye.( gerund phrase as noun in prep. phrase. )

3) After returning my ribrary books,(present participle as verb in adv clause)
I borrowed some magazines

4) while speaking on the phone, she doodled. ( The same as no. 3. )


5) By appealing to the emotion of public. (gerund as noun in prep.phrase.)
the advertisement achieves its end.

是gerund或participle就是要看它是何角色:

V~ing作adv...adj...verb是participle.

V~ing作noun...subject...object...complement...and in prep. phrase 是gerund.

The police got
the traffic moving.=那交通的 [移動=noun角色].=GERUND.

回覆Ahhhh :
without saying goodbye. 是一prepositional phrase,去作They left的adverb.

By appealing to......of......, 整句也是一prepositional phrase,去作下句的adverb.


Ho-Yin的重黠是V~ing的分別, 她不至於到連全是adverbial都不知.

Ahhhh: " The traffic moving." =object=noun=gerund.

got=vt................The police=subject.



participle分詞,是不能作subject...object...noun用,
........................只宜作verb...adj...adv用.

I think you are a grammar nuts! Can you tell me if my guess is correct?

All those present participles function as adjectives.

sik-hung's answer isn't 100% correct, and I can't understand his explanation, though! By appealing... (It couldn't be a gerund.) and without saying good-bye isn't a gerund phrase, but it's an adverbial phrase.

sik-hung, moving isn't a gerund.

The police got the traffic moving. (Moving is a present participle in describing the police got the traffic)

After returning... (it's a gerund!)

sik-hung, moving isn't a noun but it's an adjective. moving in this sentence acts more likely to be an adjective than a noun, so it couldn't be a gerund! No formula please and it isn't a Math course!
