標題: 問英文 - use of adjective [打印本頁]
作者: heiB 時間: 10-4-26 11:03 標題: 問英文 - use of adjective
adjective 有時用 ing form, 有時要用 ed form. 請問幾時用 ing form, 幾時用 ed form.
仔仔老師說形容生物就用 ing fom, 形容死物就用 ed form.
有些不明, 跟據以下說法 : an interesting book 就無問題. 但係 an interested cat 就不對了.
any one can help?

The meaning of the word 'interesting' is very differnt from the word 'interested'.
An interesting cat means the cat has caught your attention. (maybe the cat is doing something unusual or funny).
An interested cat means that something has caught the cat's attention. (may be someone is showing the cat a fish).
I doubt VERY MUCH about using this "生物就用 ing fom, 形容死物就用 ed form" rule. Even if this rule does exists, I am sure there will be plenty exceptions. To learn a language by rules is just not very effective.
If you read enough books, you will know when to use 'ing' and when to use 'ed'.

Do you mean thate are no rules on using the 'ing' form or 'ed' form? We just learn it from reading enough books? I find it difficult to teach children about this.

What I mean is rules are guidelines only.
You yourself have already raised an exception to this "生物就用 ing fom, 形容死物就用 ed form" rule, right ?
Maybe this rule does apply to many cases but there will always be exceptions.
Rather than blindly deciding on when to use 'ing' or 'ed', I would rather teach the kid the meaning of the form 'ing' and 'ed'.

你出了兩題questions。
1a) interested in ~~~ it is a phrasal verb
1b) interesting ~~~ just a common adjective
2) -ed & -ing ~~~ 這是verb+ (ed or ing) 變成
participle as adjectives

this topic make me remember something I learned a century ago......
I am bored with this boring teacher.
who is alive and who is dead... ....

In your sentence "I am bored with this boring teacher.", both bored and boring is adjective.
We use "bored" when we are expressing our feeling.
We use boring when we are describing the teacher (the noun)
Is my interpretation OK?
作者: nadal 時間: 10-4-26 16:21
With all due respect but I think putting too much emphasis on grammar rules and jargons is precisely why people find it so hard to learn english.
You do not need to know all the fancy terms to write good proper english. You don't even need to know them, unless you are the english teacher.
What good does it make to know this is a xxx verb and that is a yyy adjective. All these terms simply confuse the kid and, more time then not, the parents.

Interesting...
Looks like the rule is correct afterall.
'ing' for the living thing... the teacher who is boring the student to death, and
'ed' for the non-living... the student who got 'killed' by the boring teacher.

thanks for your response but i'm not that serious in this respect. i just plucked my feeling out of the air since the topic make me think of my good old days.
the sentence i gave out was what i heard when i was a school girl.
same as boring teacher, other things like hard-working helper, crying child, annoying boss, heart-killing lover, ....
but we still have learned BK members, tired football player, ....

Hi, VeryHappyMum
No need to thank me. I also got a lot of help from other parents here. Helping one another is what BK parents always do.

Can't agree more.
Out of curiosity, I looked up (ooops! I just used a phrasal verb) "phrasal verb" on google. This is the definition from the first search result:
"A phrasal verb is a verb plus a preposition or adverb which creates a meaning different from the original verb."
Example:
I ran into my teacher at the movies last night. run + into = meet
He ran away when he was 15. run + away = leave home
The best way to learn (and be able to use) the common phrasal verbs is to read and read and read.
I really do not see how knowing this definition will help my kid's english at all. Period.

Dear heiB,
See below and see if it is easier to explain the useage of different froms of participels to your kid.
Adjectives that are really Participles, verb forms with -ing and -ed endings, can be troublesome for some students. It is one thing to be a frightened child; it is an altogether different matter to be a frightening child. Do you want to go up to your professor after class and say that you are confused or that you are confusing? Generally, the -ed ending means that the noun so described ("you") has a passive relationship with something — something (the subject matter, the presentation) has bewildered you and you are confused. The -ing ending means that the noun described has a more active role — you are not making any sense so you are confusing (to others, including your professor).

dear VHM,
You're welcome. I just do it in my spare time and it is a piece of cake.
My son is in P1 now. I have already sourced some learning materials for him. Thank you for your generous offer and I will let you know if I happen to need any.
How about your kid(s)? Maybe I also have some learning materials in English about English, (Mental) Maths and Science for primary level to preliminary secondary level which might also fit for your kid.
Just PM me if you are interested in.

其實我接觸文法也有不短的日子,但現在僅記得最基本的rules，個人感覺grammar僅有一些基本的rules可以說絕對是對或錯的，其他很大程度都眾說紛紜和正如您所說，連老師與老師之間亦未必能有相同的理解。
故此我十分同意您在另一topic所主張應該多閱讀而少做練習或不要被文法束縛。不過，我個人還是認為一些最基本的文法規則是可以讓讀小一的小兒學習，因為這些能令他掌握最基本的英文文法，不至於祇知其然，不知其所以然。至於較深奧的文法，我完全同意以多閱讀來代替，尤希望小兒將來能多學習莎士比亞的文學和在rhetoric上多下苦功，冀能真正掌握良好的英語能力。

个人心得是小学学文法太早了，大了懂得分析归纳也不迟。我还保留当年会考的书呢a practical eng grammar by a j Thomson and a.v. Martinet

Hi, VHM!
I have got the Essential English Grammar In Use(EEGU) and Advance English Grammar In Use(AEGU) in addition to English Grammar In Use(EGU). Though I am not sure what level is your daughter in, if your daughter is new to English grammar, I suggest you may begin to teach your daughter first by EEGU then EGU.
The new Chinese version of EEGU looks more attractive than my old one and the best thing is a cd-rom attached with the book. Besides, Chinese version is cheaper than English version but it is easier for my son to understand so I am buying one soon to teach him in this summer. If you are also interested in AEGU, you may borrow it from the library for both hard copy or cd-rom versions like I did.
