Sentence Patterns 本課句型(共 2 個)

S + keep / leave / find + O + V-ing / p.p. / adj. / prep.
「使/任由/發現……處於某種狀態」
keep、leave、find 是不完全及物動詞,受詞後面要加「受詞補語 (OC)」說明狀態,句子才完整。
① V-ing
現在分詞
主動、進行中的動作
② p.p.
過去分詞
被動、已完成的動作
③ adj.
形容詞
描述狀態
④ prep.
介系詞片語
描述位置、狀態

加油時,別讓車子發動著。(running = V-ing,主動進行)

that 引導的名詞子句才是真正的主詞。因為太長,所以移到後面,句首用虛主詞 it 代替,避免「頭重腳輕」。

certain 確定的
possible 可能的
impossible 不可能的
amazing 驚人的
