现在分词短语做定语
=Do you know the way that leads into the mountain?
你知道进山的那条路吗?
(将which省略,将leads改为现在分词。从上面句子可以看出,现在分词短语做定语也可以表示与谓语动作同时发生)。
Do you know the teacher to teach us English?
=Do you know the teacher who will teach us English?
你认识要教我们英语的那位教师吗?
注:上面的句子只能用不定式做定语因为从句所表达的意思是将来时。因此,现在分词短语做定语时,动作必须同谓语动作同时发生。否则不能用现在分词做定语。
The proposal made by him will be discussed.
=The proposal that was made by him, will be discussed.
他提出的提议将被讨论。
上句所定名词proposal是make动作的承受者,所以用过去分词。我们可以从定语从句中看出。过去分词含有被动含有完成也就是该分词的动作发生在谓语动词之前。
The goods ordered from abroad will soon be delivered.
=The goods, which were ordered from abroad, will soon be delivered.
