Some Tips
1. V-ing和 V-ed 作形容词时的差别
表示情感的及物动词如excite, discourage, disappoint, encourage, inspire, interest, move, please, puzzle, surprise, worry等，其分词常加上后缀-ing或-ed转化为分词（也可称为形容词），用作表、定、状或补语。在这种情况下，分词主要体现了语态的不同。现在分词有主动意味，含有“具有令人……的特性”的意思；而过去分词有被动意味，含有“受到影响而感到……”的意思。例如：
In Aswan, there are plenty of interesting places to visit. 阿斯旺有许多值得一去的地方。
Some people whose lives are full are always interesting to talk to. 有些人的生活经历丰富，与他们交谈总是令人感兴趣的。
If I can find you any support, would you be interested? 假如我能为你找到资助，你对此有兴趣吗？
注意：satisfy的ing形式不常用作形容词，而用satisfactory代替其语法功能。
但是，由不及物动词转化而成的分词作形容词时，则体现了时态的不同。现在分词表示该动作正在进行，而过去分词表示该动作已经完成。例如：
The woodcutter was standing next to a fallen tree. 那个樵夫站在一棵伐倒的树旁。
fallen leaves落（在地上的）叶（比较：a falling leaf一片飘落的树叶）
boiled water（煮）开（过的）水（比较：boiling water沸腾着的水）
the risen sun升得老高的日头（比较：the rising sun初升的太阳）
2. later和 latter 的区别
1） later是late的比较级形式，意为“后来的（地）”，通常用在表示时间单位的词组后，表示“……以后”的意思，此外还通常用在一些习语中。例如：
Two days later, we proved these facts to be correct. 两天以后，我们证明了这些事实是正确的。
He reached the stations 5 minutes later. 他晚到车站五分钟。
sooner or later 总有一天，迟早
later on 今后，以后
2）latter是一原级形容词，主要有三种意义：
a) 表示“后面的，后半的，末了的”之意；
b) 与定冠词the连用，表示“后者”，与the former相对；
c) “最近的，现今的”。
例如： the latter half of the month 后半月，下半月
the latter part of the year 一年中后一段时期
Of the two the latter is far better than the former. 两者中后者比前者好得多。
He has been at home in these latter days. 在最近的这些日子里，他一直呆在家里。
3. Dangerous 与in danger、endanger的区别
dangerous是形容词，义为“危险的”
而in danger是固定词组，义为“在危险之中”使用时通常在前面加be
例如：
To play with matches is very dangerous. (玩火柴是很危险的。）
The panda is in danger.(大熊猫正在危险之中。）
如果说The panda is dangerous.不就变成“大熊猫是很危险的动物”了吗？
endanger
vt. 危及；使遭到危险
It can endanger future populations of some kinds of fish.
4. Advance, advancing, advanced
1） advance
n. 发展；前进；增长；预付款
vt. 提出；预付；使……前进；将……提前
vi. 前进；进展；上涨
adj. 预先的；先行的
2） advancing
adj. 前进的；年长的
v. 前进；超前（advance的ing形式）
3） advanced
adj. 先进的；高级的；晚期的；年老的
v. 前进；增加；上涨（advance的过去式和过去分词形式）
