对于seated的用法，首先要从动词seat说起。同学们可能只知道seat的名词用法，即只知道它表示“座位”。其实，seat还可用作动词，且是一个典型的及物动词，其意为“使……坐”或“能容纳……”。如：
Seat the boy next to his brother. 让那个孩子坐在他哥哥旁边。
We can seat 300 in the auditorium. 我们这个礼堂可容纳300人。
由于seat只用作及物动词，所以其后总应有宾语，或用过去分词。如：
他在窗户边坐下。
误：He seated near the window.
正：He seated himself near the window.
说明：若将误句中的seated改为sat则是对的，因为动词sit为不及物动词。
使她吃惊的是，她发现她丈夫坐在一个美丽姑娘的旁边。
误：To her surprise, she found her husband seating next to a beautiful girl.
正：To her surprise, she found her husband seated next to a beautiful girl.
说明：若将误句中的seating改为sitting则也是正确的。
下面请看几个含有seated的句子，注意体会其用法：
Please stay [remain] seated. 请不要站起来。
He seated himself at the writing table. 他在写字台前坐下。
Please be seated, ladies and gentlemen. 女士们、先生们，请就座。
He lifted the child and seated her on the wall. 他把小孩举起来，让她坐在墙上。
下面我们再来分析一下本文前面的三道高考题：
第1题答案选D。由于seat用作动词时总是及物的，所以它的后面必须要用宾语，或用被动语态或过去分词，据此可排除选项A和C。由于不定式to be seated表示将来意义 初中化学，所以也不能选，故只能选D。
第2题答案选B。remain seated意为“坐着不动”。又如：Please remain seated. 请不要站起来。Passengers are requested to remain seated till the aircraft stops. 在飞机停稳前请乘客不要离开座位。
第3题答案选C。seated在此用作后置定语，seated at the back…可视为who are seated at the back…的省略形式。
