及物动词接宾语。非谓语动词作定语应该如何表示,这都是起码的知识。
Nurses tended the injured.(句子。正确)
nurses tending the injured(词组。正确)
the injured tended by nurses(词组。正确)
nurses tended the injured (仍然是个主、动、宾结构的句子——只是句首单词应大写,句末加句号了)
若把 tended 理解为过去分词,那么 the injured 是什么?要么让“伤员照料护士?”:nurses tended by the injured ,起码语法是对的。所以,你不让 nurses tended the injured 是个句子,它会是个什么呢?
