sitting behind it,为什么是sitting?而不是sit 或sat?
a dog that is sitting behind it
=a dog sitting behind it
不用a dog to sit behind it是因为要表示进行事态
sitting此时不是进行时而是伴随状语,修饰名词dog的状态。
dog的状态是是主动的,所以不用sat。比较:
eg:
There may be a book handed by Miss Gao.高女士可能拿着一本书。
书是被高女士拿的,是被动关系,所以用过去分词做状语。
sit是动词,不能用,句中已经有情态动词must,简单句中只能有一个动词
明显是非谓语````查查非谓语的用法拉``
一个句子中不能出现两个谓语动词,所以不能用sit,而要用分词形式,sat或sitting。这取决于这个动词和它前面那个名词的关系,如果是主动,就用sitting,被动就用sat
不 用 sat, 因 为 不 是 过 去 时 .
不 用 sit, 因 为 第 三 人 称 单 数 要 用 s: sits.
用 sitting 是 因 为 状 态 正 在 进 行 .
A dog is sitting there.
A dog is sitting behind the door.
There is a dog sitting behind it (the door).
There must be a dog sitting behind it.
