He was completely asleep just then,它睡得好熟

asleep, sleeping, sleepy这组词的意思不完全相同,其区别在于:

1.asleep和sleepy主要用作表语。asleep的意思是“睡着”,而sleepy的意思是“想睡”。例如:

The baby fell asleep; and I feel sleepy.孩子睡着了,我也犯困了。

2.asleep, sleepy和sleeping都可用作定语,这时的意思也不相同。asleep表示“睡着的”, sleepy表示“贪睡的”,而sleeping除表示“睡着的”外,还可表示与睡眠有关的东西。试比较:
