Question

下面的句子能改成括号中的吗？

一：I came here to see you.(I came here for seeing you.)

二：We were very excited to hear the news.(用现在分词的形式：We were very excited hearing the news.或者用动名词的形式：We were very excited for hearing the news.)

三：He hurried to the school to find nobody there.(He hurried to the school,finding nobody there.)

Answer 1

1. 不可以。
从语法上将，to do sth和for doing sth的确都可以做目的状语。
但是后者经常用于一些固定搭配中，比如be used for doing sth.
此句不属于上述范围，不能换。

2. 不可以。
这是一个固定句型：sb be + adj.（一般表示心情感受等）to do sth.
不定式to do sth做原因状语，而不用现在分词或for doing sth.
再如：I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm happy to see you again.

3. 也不可以。
此题的不定式to find nobody there做结果状语，表示出乎主语意料或不好的结果，且不定式前面一般会加上only修饰。
如：I hurried to the airport, only to find my favorite star had left.
我匆忙刚到机场，结果只是发现我最喜欢的明星已经离开了。
而现在分词做目的状语，一般表示顺其自然的结果，即由主句句意可以顺理成章地推理出来的结果。
如：Football is played in over 180 countries, making it the most pupular sport in the world.
