He apologized to the chairman for being late.
I apologize for not being able to join you for dinner.
为什么这两个句子都要用being
张老师,新年好 !请问:形容词不能作介词宾语,那么形容词性物主代词能作介词宾语么?我能否把 He apologized to the chairman for being late.改为 He apologized to the chairman for his late.
追答his 不是宾语,而是定语,但不能修饰形容词 late,可以把 late 改为名词 lateness,即 for his lateness
