요약하자면

 

 

1. 동사 + 부사 -> give + 형용사 + 명사
2. give의 매력 : 명사에 옷을 입혀줄 수 있어, 다채로운 느낌을 줄 수 있다
3. give의 매력 : 각 동사의 규칙 또는 불규칙 시제 변화를 외우지 않아도 된다
   (give-gave-given이면 o.k.)

 

 

 

 

물론 동사 + 부사 -> give + 형용사 + 명사 형태에서 쓰일 수 있는 동사가 give만은 아니다
소위 기본 동사 (make, take, get ...) 라 불리는 것들은 대개 이런 기능을 갖고 있다
그러나 give만이 줄 수 있는 느낌.  그냥 웃는 게 아니라,  '웃어주는' 느낌,
이런 주관적 해석을 가능케 하는 것이 give의 매력일 지도 모른다
