分词短语
1/现在分词短语：
现在分词短语必须放在所修饰名词的后面，它相当于一个包含一般时或进行时谓语的从句（完成分词不能这样用）：
It is a question puzzling (=that puzzles) many people.
(带有宾语）（比较：It is a puzzling question.)

(带有补语)（比较：He is a growing boy.)

2/过去分词短语：
过去分词短语也必须放在所修饰的名词后面，它相当于一个被包含有被动谓语的定语从句，这个谓语可以是完成时态，也可以是一般时态。 若分词是被动进行形式（即由being开头的短语），这个谓语又可以是进行时态。
