求详解consist of用法
He received a set of china yesterday from his parents____six pieces.(consist of)用所给词的适当形式填空,求详解,

答案

consist of常用整体作主语,表示“整体由部分组成”,引申为“包含有”,不能用于被动语态.
[例如]
One year consists of 365 days． 一年有365天.
The team consists of 10 members． 这个小组由10个成员组成.
所以在你给的句子里面 a set of china 由六件组成 由于consist of 没有被动,所以这里肯定是主动关系,所以非谓语动词 consisting 肯定就是 ing 也就是动名词形式 来修饰a set of china 了
整个句子其实可以看作 he received a set of china consisting of six pieces yesterday from his parents 他昨天从他父母那里收到了一套六件套的陶瓷
