名词解释：1．Tense: Any one of the inflected forms in the conjugation of a verb that indicates

the temporal location of an event or a state of affairs.时态指示时间如过去、现在动词的各种曲折变化形式的任何一种

2． Aspect: aspect reflects the way in which the verb action is regarded or experienced with respect to time.(反映动词的动作在时间上被识别和经历的方式。) Define the finite clauses and the non-finite clauses.

The finite clauses are the ones that have subjects and finite verbs as predicates．The non-finite clauses are the ones that leave subjects unsaid and verbs in non-finite forms．(限定分句是主语加限定动词作谓语的分句。非限定分句是省略主语而动词以非限定形式出现(主语省略是因为其前面或 Define the complex sentence

Dangling participle垂悬分词

Dangling participle: When the subject of a participle is not expressed, it is normally understood to be the subject of the main clause. If the rule is broken, the participle is regarded as a dangling one.

无主分词又叫―悬垂分词‖或者―无依着分词‖，指-ing分词或-ed分词在句中找不到它的逻辑主语，因而处在一种―悬垂无依着‖状态，即―无主‖状态，这在句法上是错误的，在逻辑上是不合理的。 Non-finite Verbs

When nouns refer to people，and the relation between the nouns is one of definition，classification，etc，genitives are preferred，when nouns refer to inanimate，lifeless objects，and the head words of noun phrases are classifying adjectives, of—phrases are preferred．(当名词指人，或名词之间属于定义或归类关系时，用属格；而当名词指无生物，或中心词是the+形容 72.List two situations in which simple present is used to refer to the past.
