Using language
to-infinitive,-ing and -ed as predictive
BY MICHELLE
What is predicative
Predicative comes after a verb such as be, become, get, seem, look etc. It tells what is said about the subject.
1. Every artist’s wish is to create something that expresses an idea.
2. One way for him to find inspiration is turning to his children's toys.
3. He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping
through the “Dragon Gate”.
4. To listen to Tan’s music is to experience a mix of Chinese musical
traditions and Western influences.
5. Yang Liping’s passion is dancing.
① Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
1. Apart from nouns and adjectives, what other word forms can serve as predicative
2. Can “interested” in sentence (b) be replaced by “interesting” Why or why not
Apart from nouns and adjectives, to-infinitive, - ed, -ing can serve as predicative.
No, it can’t. because “interested” usually indicates a person’s interest in something while “interesting” usually indicates something making a person interested. In sentence (b), the subject is “he”, which refers to a person.
Look for more sentences with these structures in the reading passage, and summarise their uses in your own words.
1 One way for him to find inspiration is turning to his children’s toys.
2 He is most widely known for composing music for the film...
3 To listen to Tan’s music is to experience a mix of Chinese musical traditions and Western influences.
Grammar: to-infinitive, -ing and -ed as predicative
動詞不定式形式作表語時表示的動作往往是具體的、一次性的動作，特別是將來的動作。通常主語是表示 “目的，愿望，夢想，需求”等的名詞或what引導的主語從句。
My purpose is to climb to the top of the snow Mountain.
我的目標就是要爬到雪山的頂部。
Grammar: to-infinitive, -ing and -ed as predicative
動名詞作表語時表示一般性、習慣性的動作或抽象的動作，大部分時候主語與表語可以互換。
The real question is getting to know the needs of the students.
= Getting to know the needs of the students is the real question.
真正的問題是了解學生的需求。
Grammar: to-infinitive, -ing and -ed as predicative
現在分詞（短語）作表語是形容詞性的，表示主語具有的特征和屬性，主語和表語不可換位。
The news is really exciting.
過去分詞（短語）作表語時表示主語所處的狀態或情感情緒等。
The cups are broken.杯子碎了。(broken表示主語的存在狀態)
I am very disappointed at the news. 我對這個消息感到很失望。
(disappointed表示主語的情緒—感到失望)
區別幾種易混情況
不定式做表語VS.動名詞做表語
現在分詞做表語VS.過去分詞做表語
不定式做表語VS.不定式表將來
動名詞做表語VS.現在分詞用于進行時
過去分詞做表語VS.過去分詞用于被動語態
動詞不定式與動詞-ing作表語的區別
動名詞(短語)作表語表示一般性的動作；
動詞不定式(短語)作表語表示一次具體的動作或將要發生的事。
His hobby is painting.
他的愛好是畫畫。 (一般性的動作)
Today what he wants to do is (to) paint.
今天他想要做的事是畫畫。(具體的動作)
His wish is to become an artist.
他的愿望是成為一名藝術家。(將要發生的事)
過去分詞與現在分詞作表語的區別
英語中有很多與感覺有關的及物動詞，
其現在分詞意為“令人……的”，多用來修飾物；
其動詞 ed意為“感到…的”,多用來指人/人的聲音或表情等
不定式作表語和不定式表示將來時的區別
不定式作表語用于說明主語“是什么”,和主語之間是相等的;
不定式用來表示主語即將要執行的動作時,和主語之間是不相等的。
What he wanted to suggest is to cut down the price and increase the sales.
他想建議的是降價促銷。
My American teacher is to leave China soon.
我的美國老師很快就要離開中國了。
注意：當主語部分含有動詞do 的某種形式時,作表語的不定式可以省略to。
All you need to do is (to) press the button.
動名詞作表語和現在分詞用于進行時的區別
動名詞作表語說明主語“是什么”;
現在分詞用于進行時時, 說明主語正在執行的動作。
Her work is taking care of the children.
她的工作是照顧小孩。(說明主語“是什么”)
She is taking care of the children.
她正在照料小孩。(說明她正在執行的動作)
過去分詞作表語和過去分詞用于被動語態的區別
過去分詞作表語說明主語所處的狀態;
過去分詞用于被動語態說明主語所承受的動作。
The cup is broken. 杯子碎了。(說明杯子所處的狀態)
The cup was broken by Peter. 杯子是被彼得打壞的。(說明杯子承受的動作)
The painting remains unfinished. 這幅畫仍未完成。(說明畫的狀態)

One of my biggest dreams had always been to see the painting Girl with a Pearl Earing, by the Dutch artist Vermeer. It wasn't until we went on a trip to The Hague last year that this drearm came true. There were lots of people waiting to enter the Mauritshuis. Although my legs were tired from walking around the city, I was determined
to see the paintirg, which is often called the "Mona Lisa of the
North". Nobody is sure of the identity of the girl in it. And there
she was. It was amazing to be standing in front of her at last!
The girl is looking over her shoulder. Her eyes are wide and
her mouth is parted, just as if she were about to speak. I
would love to know what she was going to say!

Since the earliest cave paintings, humans have been exhibiting art on walls. There has always been a connection between artists and their works, their points of view, and the viewers. Bringing artworks together into an exhibition enables all of us to experience the works, to respond to, to enjoy and to connect with them.
Art exhibitions can have many themes, such as a historical period, a location or a trend. Of them all, one everlasting source of inspiration is war and peace. Countless artists have been protesting wars and promoting peace via their works, including Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and Chinese artist Feng Zikai, to name just a couple.
