樓上大大的說明大多沒有説到重點, 有些還是錯誤的, 對版主可能有搔不到癢處的感覺.
(實話實說, 無意冒犯)
I finally found my blue jacket ______ (hang) in the closet.
答案: hanging
想請問為何不是hung。我的想法是:夾克應該是被掛起來得才對。
有一種動詞的分類, 稱為作格動詞(ergative verbs), 簡單的說, 這些動詞具有「主動形式, 被動含意」的特性, 因此雖然是物品當主詞且具被動語意, 動詞卻用主動而非被動, 可稱之為「物主動」用法.
由及物動詞轉類而來的不及物動詞catch, lock, read, sell, wash, wear, write,
clean, draw, burn, run, cook, shut, hang的主動形式表示被動意義。
例如:
The cloth washes easily. 這種布容易洗。
The pen writes fluently. 這支筆寫起來流利。
The poem reads smoothly.這首詩讀起來很流暢。
This kind of book sells well.這種書賣的很好。
The machine runs well.這種機器運轉良好。
A door hangs on its hinges. 門安裝在鉸鍊上。 <--- 請對照版主本句.
當然, 除了物主動用法, 這些動詞都各有其被動用法.
There have been so many things______________ (happen) on campus lately.
答案: happening
想請問為何不是happened。我的想法是:事情應該是被發生才對。
有些不及物動詞也是以事物當主詞使用主動形式而具被動含意, 也是「物主動」用法。
表示“開始”、“結束”、“發生”類的動詞,常見的這類動詞有begin, start,
open, close, end, finish, stop, happen, occur等。
School begins in September. 九月份開學。
What time does the bank open? 這家銀行什麼時候開業?
The play finished at 10:30.比賽於10:30結束。
The bus service stops at midnight.公共汽車午夜停止服務。
An accident happened this morning. 早上發生了一樁意外事故. <--- 請對照版主本句.
代名詞問題: 我們常見的代名詞有one/ones it/them that,想請問有何不同和何時應該用哪個,尤以it/them that 最困惑,謝謝
英文很注重「避免重複」, 同一句已出現的名詞在度出現時, 單數用it、複數用them代替之; 不特定的名詞, 單數用one、複數用ones; 有對照用一時, 單數用that、複數用those.
例:
I need my textbook now, but I don't remember where I put it.
(用it代替my textbook)
I like pets, but feeding them is a hard job.
(用them代替pets) Please pick a card, while all the rest of you should also pick one.(one代替a card)I like to read romance novels, but he prefers fiction ones.(ones代替novels)
The weather in Kaohsiung is hotter than that in Taipei.
(that代替 the weather)
The birds in open fields are happier than those in the cages.
(those代替the birds)
我還想請問一個問題:常聽人家說一個形容詞放前面,兩個或以上放後面,請問這是什麼意思 這也不盡然, 不可被這種說法誤導.
多個形容詞可以都放在名詞前面, 例如:
a beautiful new red classical dress. (形容詞的修飾順序, 請查文法書或網搜)

(續回答區)
會放在後面的通常是分詞、分詞片語、介係詞片語、某些特定形容詞、或形容詞混合其他修飾語者等, 例如:
the people involved
the animals living in the jungle
the view in front of the house
the mountains afar
the goods intact
those ignorant of the fact
the person absent from the meeting
