living wondering,但是为什么不用lived wondered呢?

Answer 1

你的句子的原句是At the age of 29,Dave was a worker,( who lived )in a small apartment and ( who wondered )what to do about his future.
后面的部分是定语从句,定语从句如果省略关系词who,就要用动词的分词形式作定语,如果主语与谓语是主动关系,就要用动词的现在分词-ing形式,而如果主语与谓语动词之间是被动关系,就要用过去分词-ed形式.本句中Dave 和Live与wonder之间是主动关系,所以用doing形式
