“非谓语动词”，求一道例题答案解析。

There are many pieces of furniture________in oue family.
A.needs repairing
B.needing repaired
C.needed repairing
D.needing repairing
为什么答案是D？
need doing，表示被动，所以是repairing，那为什么need也要用ing形式？
是因为repairing表示过被动了，所以need就要用主动ing？

Answer 1

高手来了。

两个考点：

1. 现代分词做定语修furniture.  动词原型是不能做定语，只能做谓语。所以用needing. =There are many pieces of furniture that need repairing.

2. need+v.ing 主动表被动。The clothes need washing= The clothes need to be washed.这个由于你不熟，用得少，所以会觉得怪。
