33、and find out the rules of word formation.By adding -ing to a verb, we can change the verb into a noun.That means we can change “doing some sport” into “the name of the sport”.By adding -er to a verb, we can change the verb into a noun. That means we can change “doing some sport” into “the person who

34、 does the sport”.2. Means of word-formation in generalAffixation, conversion, and composition (or compounding) are the chief means of word-formation in English. Besides these, there are also other minor ways of word-formation including clipping, acronymy, blending etc. III. Learning about Present Fu

But many intransitive verbs together with some prepositions and adverbs can be

38、 used as transitive verbs. So they can also be followed by the objects. Therefore they can also be used in passive voice.But note that all the phrasal verbs are used as a whole. When using them in passive voice, we cannot drop out the prepositions and adverbs. For examples:At last they put out the f

39、ire. At last the fire was put out.They will put up a notice on the wall. A notice will be put up on the wall.Have you sent for a doctor? Has the doctor been sent for?I have never heard of such a thing before. Such a thing has never been heard of before.We must take good care of the children here. Th
