如何將動詞改成形容詞 黃勇仁
如何將動詞改成形容詞 我們可以將一個動詞用成一個形容詞,我們 的做法是利用分詞(participle)和不定詞 (infinitive),而分詞有兩種:現在分詞 (present participle)和過去分詞(past participle)
現在分詞作為形容詞 現在分詞的形式是在動詞後面加上ing a crying baby a smiling girl an exciting story running water a running boy a rising star
現在分詞作為形容詞 現在分詞不一定放在名詞的前面,現在分詞也可以在名詞的後面 a person walking in the woods the young man running very fast people living in Taiwan the person driving that red car the boys playing in the fields the young boy swimming in the pool
現在分詞作為形容詞 We have a crying baby here. Seeing is believing. Loving is forgiving. He always wears a smiling face. The person swimming in that cold river is quite strong. The young man driving the red car is rich. Those boys playing basketball are happy. This movie is exciting.
