have you read the novel written by Mo Yan为什么不用be written

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

the novel written by Mo Yan是过去分词作后置定语，修饰名词the novel ，意“莫言写的小说”。表示完成或被动的动作。the novel written by Mo Yan莫言写的小说（意同the novel which was written by Mo Yan）。如果用have you read the novel is written by Mo Yan同一个句子出现了read和is两个动词且不是从句和并列句关系，说不通。例如：
This book was written by Tom. （被动语态的简单句）
The books written by Tom are very good. （ 过去分词做后置定语句子。）

Answer 2

因为这个句子完整的说法是have you read the novel which is written by Mo Yan,这里把which is 去掉只剩下written,所以不用be written追问

为什么能去掉？

追答

这里的which 是代前面的the novel ,因为已经有了the novel ，所以which 可以省略，而一旦which 去掉，那么相应的的谓语is也是要随which一起去掉

追问

真的吗

追答

额，我不会骗你吧

Answer 3

be written是放在句中，做谓语，而且be还会根据人称有相应变化。
written是过去分词做状语，代表被动。追问

参考书上是作定语

追答

是定语。老师口误了。修饰名词的成分叫定语，这里修饰the novel。

追问

我也知道作定语表被动，就是不明白为什么不加be
