Teaching plan of Grammar and usage
Teaching objects:
1. Learn the usage of verb-ed form and verb-ed phrases
2. Learn the difference and usage of verb-ing and verb-ed as adjectives
Teaching procedures:
Step I Introduction
Verb-ed form can be used like an adjective or an adverb in a sentence serving as(充当) attribute(定语), predicative(表语) and object complement(宾语补足语)

When the verb-ed form is used as an attribute, it can be changed into an attributive clause. The verb-ed form can also be used as an adverb modifying(修饰) some verbs such as stand, sit, lie … etc. to show the two actions happening at the same time.
Please identify the parts of speech(词性) of the verb-ed form in different sentences
1) The handwritten notes are from jack.
2) The kidnappers were using a stolen car.
3) A dark-haired man went into the room.
4)The cake was left untouched on the table.
5) The girl lay trapped under the wreckage(船舶残骸).
Step II the usage of verb-ed form
The functions of verb-ed form
1. attribute(定语)
1)A single verb-ed can appear before a noun modifying the noun like an adjective. It can be changed into an attributive clause.
We should drink boiled water. = We should drink water which has been boiled
They took the injured woman to the nearby hospital at once.
= They took the woman who was injured to the nearby hospital at once.
2) Generally speaking(一般说来), the verb-ed form of transitive verbs(及物动词) expresses passive meanings while the verb-ed form of intransitive verbs(不及物动词) expresses active and past meanings. Some verb-eds before nouns can express past meanings, such as escaped, retired and fallen.
the escaped criminal　逃犯 past
the developed countries　发达国家 past
a widely used language passive
the retired scientist past
the highly praised scientist passive
fallen leaves 落叶 past
the risen sun　升起的太阳 past
the exploited classes 被剥削阶级 passive
3) A verb-ed phrase can appear after a noun to modify the noun like an attributive clause does.
The name mentioned in the letter was unknown to me.
= The name which was mentioned in the letter was unknown to me.
The firemen were trying to rescue the people trapped in the fire.
= The firemen were trying to rescue the people who were trapped in the fire.

a well-accepted idea 广泛接受的想法
a highly-respected professor 极受尊重的教授
a well-paid job 报酬颇丰的工作

5) A verb-ed can also be used as a non-restrictive attribute (非限定性定语) which is separated from the noun it modifies by a comma(逗号).

= The books, which were written by Lu Xun, are popular with many Chinese people.

Step III The usage of verb-ed phrases
A verb-ed phrase is actually a verb-ed followed by an object or /and adverbial. The verb-ed phrases can be used as the adverbial　(状语) to express the time, the reason and condition
1.A verb-ed phrase can be a verb-ed on its own. It can also be followed by an object and/or adverbial.

2) She left the restaurant, disappointed with the bad service.
3) Heated, water changes into steam.
4) The girl was sent to the hospital, seriously injured.
5) The girl was sent to the hospital, seriously injured in the car accident.

2.Passive verb-ed phrases can express time, reason and condition. We can use adverbial clauses(状语从句) to rewrite the phrases.

= When the park is seen from the hill, it looks very beautiful.

2) When verb-ed is used as adverbial(状语) or predicative(表语), its understood subject is the subject of the main sentence.

3)动词－ed形式作定语时,它的逻辑主语是被它修饰的名词，它和名词之间是被动关系。
