Chapter25 Grammar Focus分詞結構代替副詞子句

留言內容

P290

分詞結構可代替表示時間，原因，條件，讓步的副詞子句，當主要子句的修飾語。例如

Working in the garden, I found my lost ring.

(Working in the garden＝ While I was working in the garden)

分詞結構有時會保留連接詞，使分詞結構與主句之間的關係更清楚，例如：

He left a fat envelope on the fortuneteller’s table before walking away.

(before walking away＝ before he walked away)

………………………………

練習：將以下的副詞子句簡化為分詞結構（一格只填一個字）。

1. Because I thought it wasn’t raining, I didn’t bring an umbrella.

＝ ( ) it wasn’t raining, I didn’t bring an umbrella.

> (Thinking)

2. What do you normally do when you are driving?

＝ What do you normally do when ( )?

> (driving)

3. After he heard her story, the sergeant nearly tore himself in two with laughter.

＝After ( ) her story, the sergeant nearly tore himself in two with laughter.

=The sergeant, after ( ) her story, nearly tore himsely in two with laughter.

> (hearing)

> (hearing)

4. People do a variety of activities while they are stuck in traffic.

＝People do a variety of activities while ( ) in traffic.

> (stuck)

5. When he was asked why by reporters, he was reported to have said, “ Man can’t just sit around.”

＝When ( ) why by reporters, he was reported to have said, “ Man can’t just sit around.”

> (asked)
