第三、语法点拨

1. ... because he saw him running away.

点拨：running away是现在分词做宾语补足语。感官动词see可以在其后面接宾语，再接现在分词，即：see something doing something.

2. ... but he was too weak to speak.

点拨：这个句式的结构是：主语+系动词+too+adj.+to+动词原形。表示某人太......而不能做某事。

3. ... and he felt the room spinning round him.

点拨：spinning round him是现在分词作宾语room的补足语。感官动词feel可以在其后面接宾语，再接现在分词，即：feel something doing something.
