Participle is divided into the present participle and the past participle two kinds. In the sentence, it can be used as a predicative, an object to complement the language attributive and adverbial. However, it is important to pay attention to the meaning that the participle is active and the past participle is passive and complete.

The function of participle in sentence

1, participle as a predicative

The present participle is a predicative, many of the characteristics or nature of the subject, meaning "how ...", including the active meaning. such as: Astonishing,disappointing,exciting,amusing,frightening,interesting,surprising,relaxing,shocking,tiring, Worrying,puzzle;ing,moving, the past participle as a predicative more of the state of the subject, meaning "How to what feelings", there is passive meaning. such as: astonished,disappointed,excited,amused,frightened,interested,surprised,relaxed,shocked,tired,worried,puzzled , moved. For example:

2, participle that/which language complement language

The relationship between active and passive is mainly embodied in the relationship between the active and the passive between the that/which and the object when the words complement the word.

Verb have,let,make can also be used as the object complement of the past participle, in which the subject is not usually the issuer of the action represented by the participle. The verbs that can bring word that/which to complement the words are: see,feel,watch,make, let,have, etc. For example:

The current participle of intransitive verbs is an emphasis on the action of attributive expression, the past participle emphasizes the completion, and the present participle of the object Verb emphasizes initiative,

Past participle emphasizes passivity. The completion of participle is generally not an attribute. The same is true when participles are used as other ingredients. Participle as attributive, single participle as a definite

Words in the general front, participle phrases, individual participle such as given, left, etc., modified indefinite pronouns and other participle, as the attributive needs to be placed. For example:
