iii. being introduced to complements
a complement is a word or phrase that completes the predicate in a sentence.
there are two kinds of complements: object complements and subject complements.
an object complement is a word or phrase that follows the direct object and modifies or completes its meaning. e.g.:
the cold water made susan chilly.
the news reports named the explorer a hero.
a subject complement follows a linking verb (a verb such as to be, to seem, to appear, to feel) and modifies or renames the subject. a subject complement that is an adjective is termed a predicate adjective. e.g.:
the instructor seemed cheerful.
a subject complement that is a noun is also called a predicate noun or predicate nominative. e.g.:
my neighbor is the president of the pta.
iv. learning about the past participle as the object complement
如果補語與賓語具有邏輯上的動賓關系, 賓補的動作具有"完成"概念,或賓補表示已經存在的狀態,就用過去分詞作賓補。常見的用過去分詞作賓補的結構有:
keep / leave / have / get sth. done; find / see / discover / observe / notice / hear sth. done; make oneself done
e.g.: i have never heard the song sung in english.
note:如果把上述結構變為被動語態,則原來作賓補的過去分詞變成主補。
e.g.: 1. the window was found broken.
2. the work was left unfinished.
相關高考試題:
1. the managers discussed the plan that they would like to see _____the next year.
a. carried out b. carrying out c. carry out d. to carry out
2. the murderer was brought in, with his hands behind his back.
a. being tied b. having tied c. to be tied d. tied
析:1. 答案a。考查see sth. done結構。此處that引導定語從句,修飾plan,同時作謂語動詞see的邏輯賓語。carry out與plan之間是邏輯動賓關系,故用過去分詞作賓補。2. 答案d。考查with+n.+done復合結構中的賓補形式。tie與hands之間是邏輯動賓關系, 故用過去分詞作賓補。
