动词不定式作宾语补足语时,表示动作已经发生,动作的全过程已经结束。如:
I heard him knock at
the door three times.(=I heard he knocked at the door three times (动作的全过程已经结束)
现在分词作宾语补足语时,表示动作正在进行。如:
I heard him knocking
at the door.(= I heard he was knocking at the door.(动作正在进行)
过去分词也可以作宾语补足语。如:
I found the glass
broken.(= I found the glass was broken.)
注意:动词不定式作宾语补足语时,在动词make,let,have,see,notice,hear,watch, observe,feel,listen to等后面要省略不定式符号to。如:
I hear him play.
The teacher made him
do the exercises again.
help后的动词不定式作宾语补足语时,不定式符号to可加可不加。如:
He often helps me to
study English in his spare time.
当这些动词变为被动语态时,原不定式必须加上to。如:
He was seen to repair
the machine.
