簡單的英文問題，為甚麼odd後面要加ing?

英語可以用 it 來代替落落長的主詞，文法上稱為「虛主詞」。

題目中上句 finding 直到 morning 那一長串文字才是主詞，稱為「動名詞片語」，finding 加 ing 是因為 find 是動詞，若要當主詞必須加 ing 變成「動名詞」才可以。所以這裡用 finding 與 odd 無關，不管換成 interesting, strange 等等任何一個形容詞都一樣。

It was very odd finding Mr. Lee 's cat sitting on his desk this morning.
今早發現李先生的貓坐在他的桌上好奇怪喔。

從中文翻譯可知所謂「好奇怪」 very odd 主要是 finding Mr. Lee's cat sitting on his desk this morning，所以這串動名詞片語才是 very odd 的主詞，因為太長所以用 it 來取代，先講出來，最後才講真正主詞的部份。

題目下句換一種說法，意思大略相同：

It was very odd that I found Mr. Klein's cat sitting on his desk this morning.
我今早發現李先生的貓坐在他的桌上，好奇怪喔。

這句從 that 到 morning 是主詞，文法稱為「連接詞 that 引導名詞子句當主詞」，因為也是落落長，所以用 it 來取代當虛主詞。 that 在這裡本身不含意思，只是單純的「連接詞」功能。

不過英語造句要小心時式的正確性，這裡既然有 this morning，表示是「今早」的事，屬於先前，子句的動詞要用 found，不可用 find。

動詞,現在進行時,+ing(如running,swimming); 現在時,主語是第三人稱she,he,it加s、es; 現在時,主語是第一.二人稱I,you用原形 正在進行時的動詞要...

你這樣問很怪
odd 和後面的find沒有關係阿
一般來說一個子句只會有一個動詞
(有特殊情況:例如 使役動詞
你說
that是關係代名詞，沒有錯
就因為這樣連接兩ㄍ子句
第一句ㄉ動詞為was
第二句ㄉ動詞為find
find 後要接動名詞(Ving形式)


希望有幫到你

It is very odd finding Mr. Lee's cat sitting on his desk this morning.
It is very odd that I found Mr. Klein's cat sitting on his desk this morning.

兩句的主要動詞看來應用「現在簡單式」，因為所述事實的時效不隨時間而異，永遠為真。
this morning的時效只跟delayed subjects裡的finding/found有關。此外由語意來判定，find是action verb，本來就不會是正在發生的行為。

It was very odd finding Ｘ this morning.
= It was very odd to find X this AM.
= To find X this AM was very odd.
= Finding X this AM was very odd.

Adverbial clauses may be reduced by changing them into;-
participial phrase containg -ing eg:-
As it is an odd fact that I find,(the cat)---------Adverbial clause

Odd finding,(the cat)---------participial phrase containg -ing

that--pronoun--that is used to make a person specific;

It is nearer to the speaker;

That's what I saw=The odd fact that I saw(In your explanation to cancel that,I)

as antecedent to a relative pronoun expressed=All those odd facts (that) i saw were odd.
=All those (that) I saw
=All those I saw
="that" acting as antecedent
