The house------to the old man was built hundreds of years ago.

问题描述:

The house------to the old man was built hundreds of years ago.
其中------填belonging.
WHY?Can you help me?Thanks!

因为种种原因belong to 是属于某人的意思,但是belong to是动词短语只能做谓语,这句话里已经有 was built 这个谓语了,所以用belonging to 是现在分词做定语,修饰前面的house,意思是这个老人的房子.
