教 师 活动 内 容、方 式 学 生 活 动 内 容、方 式 旁 注
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”.
简单句中的省略
1) 省略主语 祈使句中主语通常省略；
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.
其它省略主语多限于少数现成的说法。
2)省略主谓或主谓语的一部分
3) 省略作宾语的不定式短语，只保留to，但如果该宾语是动词be或完成时态，则须在之后加上be或have:
4)省略表语
5) 同时省略几个成分
主从复合句中的省略
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
两个并列句中，后一个分句常省略与前一分句中相同的部分。
其他省略
连词的that省略
(1) 宾语从句中常省略连词that，但也有不能省略的情况。
(2) 在定语从句中，that在从句中作宾语时可省略.另外，凡是进行时态和被动语态的定语从句都可省略关系代词和be 动词。
2) 在某些状语从句中，从句的主语与主句的主语一致时，可省去“主语+be”部分
不定式符号to的省略
并列的不定式可省去后面的 to.
help 当“帮助”讲时，后面的宾语或宾补的不定式符号to可带可不带.
3）介词but前若有动词do,后面的不定式不带 to.
(4) 某些使役动词（let, make, have）及感官动词（see, watch, hear, notice, observe, feel, look at, listen to等）后面作宾语补足语的不定式一定要省去 to, 但在被动语态中须将to 复原。
(5) 主语从句中有动词do,后面作表语的不定式的 to可带可不带。
(6) find 当“发现”讲时，后面作宾语补足语的不定式符号to可带可不带。 但如果是不定式 to be，则不能省略。
7)连词if在部分虚拟条件句中可省略，但后面的语序有变化。
8) 主句和从句各有一些成分省略。
The sooner (you do it), the better (it will be).
Step 3: Homework
