2.       thecompoundofadjectivesandtheorderofadjectives

DKeypoints

 1. wordformation:

verb→nouns:

verb+-tion/-ation/-sion

                adjective→adverb:

adj.+ly

2.subject-predicateinversion

 3. usageofthesimplepastandthepastperfect

E.LanguagePoints:

1.  Iwalkedalongsidemyfather, clutchinghisrighthand.（1 ）

a. clutchinghisrighthand:

 Thisispresentparticiple（verb+ing） usedtomodifythemainverb“walked”,showingthemannerinwhichthe narratorwalked.Besides, itcanalsoindicatethefollowingsuchastime,reason,condition, concession,result,mannerandaccompany.

Hearingthenews （=Whenweheardthenews）,we jumpedwithjoy.（time）

 Notknowing （=Becausehedidn'tknow） howtodoit, hewenttohisfatherforhelp.（reason）

 Looking（=Ifyoulook） outofthewindow,youcanhaveafullviewofthe beach.（condition）

 Workingorplaying（=Whethersheisworking orplaying）,Maryisalwaysintense.（concession）

 Thecarwasheldupbythesnowstorm, thuscausing thedelay.（result）　

 Thechildrenrushedout, shoutingandjumping.（mannerandaccompany） 

 Otherexamplesfromthetext:

Mymother stoodatthewindow watchingourprogress…  （para.2）

Iturned towardsherfromtimetotime, hopingshewouldhelp.（para.2）

“I’mnot punishingyou,”hesaid, laughing.（para.4）

Thebell rang, announcingthepassingofthedayandtheendofwork. （para.17） 

b. When/Whileetc.+V-ing作状语时，前面往往带有when, while,before,after,since,if,asif,（al）though,unless,as等连词，使分词表示的意义更加明确，这实际上是一个省略了“主语 +be的人称变化形式”的句子,省略的主语和主句的主语一致，如：

 e.g. Whilereading（=WhileIwasreading） hiscomposition,Inoticedsomemistakes.

c. amodifierofanoun, indicatingthefeaturesorconditionsofthenoun.

 e.g.workingpeople （劳动人民）   touchingstory （动人的故事）

 sleepingchild （酣睡的小孩）   strikingcontrast （鲜明的对比）

 hiredhands （雇来的人手）    armedforces （武装部队）

    Theproblem （whichis）botheringus is thelackofmoney.

 Thesearegoods （whichwere）importedfromJapan.
