II. GRAMMAR REVIEW: Topic: Participles (5-6 minutes)

(分詞)

A Participle is a verbal which is mainly used to modify a noun or a pronoun. Regular verbs form their past participles with the suffix –ed and their present participles with the suffix-ing. In contrast, irregular verbs form their past participle by either retaining the base form or changing the spelling. (分詞は主に名詞や代名詞を変化させるのに用いられる準動詞です。規則動詞に場合、接尾辞のedによって過去分詞が、ingによって現在分詞が作られます。対照的に、不規則動詞が分詞を作るには、原形と同じスペルのままか、スペルを変化させるか2種類があります。) Regular Verb (規則動詞) Present Participle (現在分詞) Past Participle (過去動詞)

reserve reserving reserved cancel canceling canceled

Irregular Verb (不規則動詞) Present Participle (現在分詞) Past Participle (過去動詞)

pay paying paid

set setting set

A participial phrase includes the participle and the complements (noun or pronoun) which serve as a direct object, indirect object or complement. It is also used to modify a noun or a pronoun. (分詞句は分詞と、名詞や代名詞などの修飾語を含みます。これらの修飾語は直接目的語、間接目的語、あるいは補語として機能します。修飾語はまた名詞や代名詞を修飾するのにも使われます。)

Mr. Anderson: I plan to rent it on March 3rd. By the way, do I need to pay any reservation fee?

Receptionist: That is noted, Sir. We require a 50% cash deposit. Mr. Anderson: Here it is. Thank you very much!

Ex: The reserved seats were given to the elderly.

(例：予約席は高齢者に譲られました。)

participial phrase(分詞句)

Reserving the rooms, Mr. Hart paid for them in advance.

(例：部屋を予約し、ハート氏は事前に支払いをしました。)

participial phrase(分詞句) Remember:

The participial phrase should always be placed nearest to the noun/pronoun it modifies to avoid confusion.

(混乱を避けるため、分詞句はいつも名詞や代名詞、修飾語のの最も近くに置かれるのが好ましいです。)

Example: Cancelling the flight, the tickets were thrown away by Ms. Carey.

(誤った例：航空便をキャンセルしたので、その搭乗券はカーリーさんに投げ捨てられました。)

Cancelling the flight, Ms. Carey threw away the tickets.

(正しい例：航空便をキャンセルしたので、カーリーさんは搭乗券を投げ捨てました。)

In the example, it was Ms. Carey who cancelled the flight because the tickets cannot cancel flights.

(上の例では航空便をキャンセルしたのは、カーリーさんであって、搭乗券が航空便をキャンセルすることはできません。)

Examples:

(例：)

The hotel manager, expecting the arrival of guests, ordered the employees to be ready.

(ホテルの支配人は客の到着を想定し、従業員たちを待機させました。) Expected for early arrival, the tourists were immediately directed to their rooms.

(予定より早く到着することが見込まれ、観光客たちは急きょ自分たちの部屋に直行しました。)

Requesting for transfer, Mr. Ray decided to just get a smaller room.

(引っ越しを依頼するにあたって、レイ氏は今より小さな部屋にすることに決めました。)
