动词-ing形式作状语时，可表示时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、行为方式、伴随状况等，通常情况下句子的主语与该动词之间是逻辑上的主动关系，表示时间关系的分词短语有时可由when及while引出。如：
Both of his parents died in the war, leaving him alone.
To buy some salt, the careless housewife went downstairs, _____ the fish ____over the gas.
A left; cooked B leaving; being cooked

知识拓展 It is + noun +从句
