Question

The great hall was crowded with many people,___ many children ____ on their parents' laps
a.including,seated
b.including,seating
c.included,sat
d.included,sitting
为什么
我选了d,为什么不可以,是不是只要有seat,就一定用过去式?

Answer 1

在这个题目中,第一个空including除了是include的现在分词外,它本身也是一个独立的介词,意为“包括……在内”
例如
I have got three days' holiday including New Year's Day.我有三天假期,包括元旦在内.
题目中第一部分考查的就是including这个词作介词的用法.
至于第二个空,涉及到seat和sit这两个词分词的用法,表示“坐”的时候,be seated=sitting,英语语法上有一部分内容叫主动表被动,seat这个词就属于主动表被动的范畴.
例
She is sitting on the chair.=She is seated on the chair.她坐在椅子上.
