質問: 高校英語 動名詞の書き換え・和訳 ★複文に書き換えよ。 (1)he forgot his daughter's being the fastest runner in her class. →he forgot that his daughter was the fastest runner in her class.(wasのところが違うらしい) (2)i have never heard that this has happened before. →??? (3)i am afraid that the situation may get worse. →i am afraid of the situation getting worse. ★動名詞を用いて英訳しなさい。 (4)彼はもっと早くに手紙を書かなかったことを申し訳なく思った →he was sorry for not having written the letter (もっと早く). (6)君は早起きに慣れるべきだ →you should be used to getting up early. 動名詞の問題です。 添削をお願いします!
回答: すみません,forget ~ing で「~したことを忘れる」ですので, he forgot that his daughter had been the fastest runner in her class. が正解なのでしょう。 でも,forgot「忘れてた」で現在完了っぽい意味になりますので,was でもいいと思います。 (4) は he was sorry for not writing the letter earlier. でいいと思います。 for 以下は原因ですので,時間的に先と決まっていますので,完了形にしなくてもいいです。 thank you for の後と同じです。
