过去分词做定语的用法
过去分词作定语
过去分词作定语需要注意如下几个方面的问题:
（1）过去分词作定语时,所表示的时间概念:
1）多表示已完成的动作．例如:
A ．The broken glasses are mine．
B．The book written in English is about “The differences between American English and
British English”．
2）表示分词的动作发生在谓语动词的动作之前．例如:
A． A letter posted yesterday will probably reach her next week．
B．He wants to buy a used car．
3）没有一定的时间性．例如:
A．I don’t like to see letters written in pencil．
B．His spoken English is excellent．
（2）过去分词作定语在句中的位置:
1)单个的过去分词作定语一般位于所修饰的名词之前．例如:
spoken English _________________ 一只受过训练的狗____________________
一条结了冰的河流_____________________
注意不及物动词的过去分词一般不能作前置定语,能作前置的仅限于escaped,
faded, fallen, risen, grown等．例如:
the risen sun ______________________ 落叶_______________________
2)过去分词与副词,名词,形容词构成复合形容词作定语时,位于被修饰的名词之前．
例如:
a newly—built road __________________ a man—made satellite _________________
一个高度发达的国家________________________
3)过去分词短语作定语,通常放在被修饰的名词之后．例如:
A.There is anything arranged for the vacation ?
B．There are many person killed in that accident ．
注意:某些单个的过去分词作定语也必须作后置定语．例如: There is no time left ．
A.某些动词的过去分词作定语时,既可作前置定语,又可作后置定语,但含义不同．例如:
A．The method used is very efficient ．
B．This is a used book ．
C．The book given to him is an English novel ．
D.We will be meeting at a given time and place ．
（3）某些动词的过去分词作定语时, 多半用来修饰人．这类过去分词多是表示人物的心理特征或情感
变化的动词．如:delighted , devoted , discouraged , amused , astonished , frightened , moved , inspired , encouraged , puzzled , tired , worried , excited ．
For example : A．The tired boy fell into asleep very soon ．
B．The puzzled mother come to her daughter’s teacher for help ．
C．The frightened baby kept crying ．
