Circumstances and people are constantly changing. 请问老师这句的语法对吗?副词constantly后面为什么加动名词?可以加形容词吗?
【答】这里的 are changing 是动词 change 的现在进行时形式,其中的 changing 是现在分词,不是动名词。把 changing 改为形容词也可以:
Circumstances and people are constantly changeable.
又如:The weather is very changeable at this time of year. 年年在这个时候天气都变化无常。(摘自《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第9版pp.336-337)
