Step 2: Exploring the rules
• The verb-ed form can be used like an adjective or an adverb,
indicating a(n) (1) ________ (active/passive) meaning.
• The verb-ed form can appear before or after a noun. It
modifies the noun like a(n) (2) _____________ (relative
clause/adverbial clause).
• The verb-ed form can be used as an adverbial or an object

passive
relative clause
单个V-ed作定语,原则上是前置的。但有些单个的 V-ed,在习惯上或因为受到某些限制,则放在被修饰词之后。
1. 被修饰词前有all, every等表“全部”概念的词修饰时;
2. 被修饰词前有最高级;
3. 被修饰语过长或有其他定语;
the color TV set produced last year
= the color TV set that was produced last year
去年生产的彩色电视机
V-ed短语作定语
通常后置,其作用相当于定语从句。
V-ed有时还可用作非限制性定语,
相当于 一个非限制性定语从句,
前后用逗号分开。
Some of them, born and brought up in rural villages, had never seen a train.
=Some of them, who were born and brought up in rural villages, had never seen a train.

B3 Read the notes below about Alfred Wegener and his
theory of continental drift. Then write a short
paragraph using verb-ed forms, verb-ing forms and to-
infinitives. The beginning has been written for you.
• Looked at a world map and found the eastern coastline
of South America and the western coastline of Africa
could fit together;
• Did more research and put forward the theory of
continental drift;
• Published his ideas in The Origin of Continents and
Oceans;
Possible answer: Looking at a world map, Alfred Wegener found something amazing: the eastern coastline of South America and the western coastline of Africa seemed to fit together. He did more research to find out what caused this. Having collected enough evidence, he put forward his theory of continental drift. Then he had his ideas published in The Origin of Continents and Oceans. However, people did not believe in his theory. For one thing, it challenged many scientific theories widely accepted at that time. For another, Wegener failed to explain the driving force causing the continents to drift apart.
