The man speaking to the teacher is our monitor’s father.
现在分词作定语相当于一个定语从句的句法功能,如in the following years=in the years that followed, the man speaking to the teacher=the man who is speaking to the teacher.
2.作表语
The film being shown in the cinema is exciting
The present situation is inspiring.
“Be+doing”既可能表示现在进行时,又可能表示现在分词作表语。区别在于:“be+doing”表示进行的动作时进行时,而表示特征时是系动词be与现在分词构成系表结构。
3.作宾语补足语
以下动词后可跟现在分词作宾语补足语:see、watch、hear、feel、find、get、keep、notice、observe、listen to、look at、leave、catch等。
