虽然这两个人最终都成功了,但他们的成功之路却大相径庭,他们的未来不一定完全如他们计划的那样。
【句式分析】their futures not necessarily turning out exactly as they planned是独立主格结构,在句中作状语。它是由名词或代词( their futures )加上分词短语( turning out exactly as they planned )构成的一种独立结构,用于修饰整个句子。

我已经收到了那么多人的来信,所有人都表达了他们的关心。

( 2 )逻辑主语与后面的非谓语动词是主动的逻辑关系,用“名词/代词+ doing”结构;如果是被动关系,则用“名词/代词+done”结构;如果表示将来的动作,则用“名词/代词+to do”
