语法·剖析·活用?
独立主格结构
状语有时可以由一个名词或代词和另一成分构成的复合结构担任,称为独立主格结构。常见的独立主格有以下几种:?
1)名词/代词+分词(过去分词或现在分词)。当分词作状语,其逻辑主语与句子的主语不一致时,分词应有自己的逻辑主语,构成分词的独立结构。独立结构一般位于句首,也可放在句尾;作伴随状语时,常放在句尾;?
2)名词/代词+(being)形容词/副词;?
3)名词/代词+不定式;?
4)名词/代词+介词短语。?
注意:①有些独立主格结构中没有分词,仅在名词或代词之后接作表语或状语的词或词组,省去的分词一般是being或having been,这是为了简练。但在“being+过去分词”或“there being+过去分词”结构中,being不可省。?
②这一结构在句中可以表示时间、原因、条件、方式或伴随情况。?
