Do you know the number of people coming to the party?(现在分词coming=who will come)

题目

Do you know the number of people coming to the party?(现在分词coming=who will come)
我所知的只有不定式作后置定语有表将来的意思,而本句却用coming=who will come的动词-ing形式表将来的意思,据我所知现在分词作后置定语并没有表将来的意思,这种用法该怎样解释?本句可改为Do you know the number of people to come to the party?

答案

不可以改的,多难听啊Do you know the number of people to come to the party,
其实,像来,去,到,走,等动词的ING形式,可以表示即将发生的事情,ING的用法多的去了,最好你看看语法,
实在不行啊,你就多背句子,我背了很多,读了很多,语义就出来了
很有效
