Question

_____after a long walk ,Helen called and side she could not come to the party.

A.having worn out B.being worn out C.to wear out D.worn out 为什么不选A呢?

Answer 1

Wear
somebody
out
:使疲乏，使精疲力竭
例如：The
football
game
really
wore
him
out
this
afternoon.
译为:今天下午的足球赛的确累坏他了。
而例句中是指Helen经过长时间步行后精疲力竭，即：wear
Helen
out，
所以这儿需要用wear
out的被动态置于句首，即答案D，而答案A是动词的完成时.
被动态过去分词词组worn
out
作为非谓语置句首，表原因,等于Because
she
was
worn
out
after
a
long
walk...
