現在分詞與過去分詞做形容詞使用：作為形容詞使用，表示必有名詞的出現，在這種題型中我們看不見兩組動詞的出現，要注意的是做形容詞的分詞與被修飾名詞間的主被動關係，若為主動的情形，則使用現在分詞，若為被動的情形，則選擇過去分詞。Ex 1: The meeting ______ for tomorrow morning has been canceled.
(A) schedules (B) schedule (C) scheduling (D) scheduled
說明：檢查meeting與schedule的主被動關係，本題答案為(D)
Ex 2: Jose Carlos is our ______ manager.
(A) market (B) marketing (C) marketed (D) to market
說明：本題答案為(B)
Ex 3: We were very ______ on hearing John’s accident.
(A) shocking (B) shocked (C) shock (D) shockingly
說明：本題答案為(B)
→shock的中文解釋為使震驚，與它同質的動詞在中文翻譯時皆會出現「使」這個字，也就是說類動詞在使用上的主被動關係與一般的觀念是相反的，一般動詞在以人為主詞時多為主動的型態，但此類動詞卻需以被動的方式來表達，此類動詞多描述事物對人所產生的影響，所以在形成分詞來使用時要特別注意，在修飾人的時候需使用過去分詞，修飾事物的時候需使用現在分詞，特列出常見之動詞如下：
→驚訝：amaze, shock, surprise,astonish
→娛樂：amuse,entertain
→正向情緒：please, delight, inspire, relax, satisfy, excite, encourage
→反向情緒：annoy, bore, depress, disappoint, embarrass, worry, frighten
連接詞與連綴副詞：當我們在選項中發現連接詞與連綴副詞時，表示此類題目必須以句意為主要判斷原則，所以要仔細閱讀前後句的關係。Ex 1: The lab test our products for safety ______ durability.
(A) as well as (B) instead (C) than (D) nor
說明：依句意選擇(A)為本題答案。
→除了時間的表示之外，我們大體可將連接詞與連綴副詞所表達的關係分為三種，舉例如下表：
|
因果關係 |
反向關係 |
加乘關係 |

Ex 2: The cruise will not leave the harbor ______ all passengers board the ship.
(A) if (B) when (C) unless (D) but
說明：本題依照句意選擇(C) unless(除非)為正確答案。
Ex 3: The sales revenue dropped sharply this month; ______, we have to find a measure to solve this serious problem.
(A) in addition (B) however (C) consequently (D) because
說明：本題依照句意可知前後句為因果關係，但因著分號以及後方逗號的出現，我們選擇副詞的(C)為正確答案。
頻率副詞：頻率副詞的考試重點在於副詞本身在句子裡放置的位置為何，我們可以從選項中發現此類考題多半是將句子裡動詞與頻率副詞的順序錯置，要考生選出正確的排列方式，此類題目可以不需讀題，直接由選項中依文法原則挑出正確答案，以節省作答時間。
Ex 1: Mr. Rogers has been working here for eight years, and he ______ one of our best employees.
(A) has been always considered
(B) has always been considered
(C) always has been considered
(D) has considered always been
說明：不固定頻率之頻率副詞的位置：
→置於be動詞之後：I am usually busy.
→置於一般動詞之前：He always runs fast.
→置於第一個助動詞之後：此點最常考；例句如本題 本題答案為(B)
Ex 2: The Pinel Co. checks their marketing budget ______.
(A) often (B) quarterly (C) sometimes (D) yesterday
說明：固定頻率之頻率副詞或片語，如daily, weekly, annually, once a week等，使用時置於句尾。本題答案為(B)。
