英语语法之动词的过去分词形式

　　动词的-ed形式也是非谓语动词的一种，它具有动词的一些特点，同时也具有形容词、副词的句法功能，在句中可用作表语、定语、状语和宾语补足语等。

　　一、动词的-ed形式的特征

　　(一)动词的-ed形式是由动词的过去分词构成

　　动词的-ed形式只有一种形式，即传统语法中的过去分词。绝大部分的动词的-ed形式由动词原形加-ed构成，也有一些动词的-ed形式是不规则的。

　　1、规则动词的-ed形式

　　limit→limited(限制)

　　pretend→pretended(假装)

　　escape→escaped(逃脱)

　　provide→provided(提供)

　　refer→referred(提交)

　　drag→dragged(拖)

　　pray→prayed(祈祷)

　　supply→supplied(供应)

　　2、不规则动词的-ed形式

　　spread→spread(传播)

　　bite→bitten(咬)

　　forgive→forgiven(原谅)

　　spit→spat( 吐)

　　wear→worn(穿)

　　fight→fought(搏斗)

　　lose→lost(丢失)

　　3、少数动词的-ed形式作定语时，读音与一般过去分词不同

　　learned：a learned professor 一位知识渊博的教授

　　aged：an aged man 老人

　　beloved：his beloved computer 他心爱的计算机

　　(二)动词的-ed形式的否定形式

　　动词的-ed形式的否定形式是由not或never加动词的-ed形式构成。

　　Not allowed to go in, he had to wait outside.

　　不允许他进去，他只好在外面等着。

　　(三)动词的-ed形式的特征

　　动词的-ed形式有被动的意思，有时也可表示完成的动作。

　　1、动词的-ed形式表示已完成的动作。

　　除了作形容词用的-ed形式外，动词的-ed形式可带有完成的意义，有的同时也带有被动的意义。

　　2、及物动词的-ed形式一般表示被动的意思。

　　Given more time, I could have solved that riddle.

　　3、不及物动词的-ed形式只表示完成的意思，并不带有被动的含义。

　　an escaped prisoner 逃犯 (= a prisoner who hasescaped)

　　二、动词的-ed形式的用法

　　动词的-ed形式在句中主要起形容词和副词的作用，可以作定语、表语、状语和补语。

　　(一)动词的-ed形式作表语

　　1、-ed形式在连系动词后作表语，说明主语的状态。

　　The students are fully prepared.

　　(二)同一动词的-ed形式与-ing形式作表语时的区别

　　动词的-ed形式作表语，主要表示主语的心理感觉或所处的状态，含有被动的意思，而-ing形式作表语多表示主语具有的特征，含有主动的意思。

　　They were frightened to hear the frighteningsound.

　　他们听到那可怕的声音很害怕。

　　At the sight of the moving scene, all thepeople present were moved.

　　看到这么动人的情景，所有在场的人都感动了。

　　上述动词的-ed形式，有的(如pleased,tired, excited, disappointed等)已经变成形容词，可以被very, too等副词修饰。有的(如amused, puzzled, relaxed等)还不能被very, too修饰，只能被much修饰。

　　(三)动词的-ed形式作宾语补足语
