Step 1: Word Study
1. Check the answer to Exercise 1 at Page 77.
2. The Present participle & the past participle
Look at the 2 sentences on the blackboard.
This is a moving story.
The boy is deeply moved by the story.
Can you tell the difference between “moving” & “moved” ?
Please open your books at Page 78. Look at Ex. 2. Read the sentences and fill in the blanks with the proper forms of the words.
Step 2: Grammar - Ellipsis
Look at the 2 sentences on the blackboard.
Upon arrival, my uncle hugged Pompy and (?) tried to give him courage.
Then came a smell of sulphur, and then (?) flames.
Read them and decide which words were left out at each place of the question marks.
In modern English there is a tendency to omit or leave out some words in a sentence for the sake of conciseness. The omission is called “Ellipsis”, and a sentence containing such an elliptical sentence.
A word or words in a sentence can be omitted only on condition that the omission would not cause the sentence to be understood in more than one way to be unclear meaning or wrong. We must keep in mind that
we should not omit words necessary for clearness. Are you clear about that? Now I’d like to some more about “Ellipsis”.
簡單句中的省略
1) 省略主語 祈使句中主語通常省略；
The present participle “moving” expresses an action that happens around the same time as the main verb with an active meaning while the past participle “moved” expresses an action that is completed with an passive meaning.
Read the sentences and fill in the blanks with the proper forms of the words.
I think in the 1st sentence the subject “he or my uncle” was left out.
In the 2nd sentence I think “came” should be at the place of the question mark.
其它省略主語多限于少數(shù)現(xiàn)成的說法。
2)省略主謂或主謂語的一部分
3) 省略作賓語的不定式短語，只保留to，但如果該賓語是動詞be或完成時態(tài)，則須在之后加上be或have:
4)省略表語
5) 同時省略幾個成分
主從復(fù)合句中的省略
1) 主句中有一些乘法被省略
( I’m ) Sorry to hear you are ill.
2) 主句中有一些乘法被省略
并列句中的省略
兩個并列句中，后一個分句常省略與前一分句中相同的部分。
其他省略
連詞的that省略
(1) 賓語從句中常省略連詞that，但也有不能省略的情況。
(2) 在定語從句中，that在從句中作賓語時可省略.另外，凡是進行時態(tài)和被動語態(tài)的定語從句都可省略關(guān)系代詞和be 動詞。
2) 在某些狀語從句中，從句的主語與主句的主語一致時，可省去“主語+be”部分
不定式符號to的省略
并列的不定式可省去后面的 to.
help 當(dāng)“幫助”講時，后面的賓語或賓補的不定式符號to可帶可不帶.
3）介詞but前若有動詞do,后面的不定式不帶 to.
(4) 某些使役動詞（let, make, have）及感官動詞（see, watch, hear, notice, observe, feel, look at, listen to等）后面作賓語補足語的不定式一定要省去 to, 但在被動語態(tài)中須將to 復(fù)原。
(5) 主語從句中有動詞do,后面作表語的不定式的 to可帶可不帶。
(6) find 當(dāng)“發(fā)現(xiàn)”講時，后面作賓語補足語的不定式符號to可帶可不帶。 但如果是不定式 to be，則不能省略。
7)連詞if在部分虛擬條件句中可省略，但后面的語序有變化。
8) 主句和從句各有一些成分省略。
The sooner (you do it), the better (it will be).
Step 3: Homework
