英語非謂語動詞語法筆記(四):獨立主格
阿新 • • 發佈:2022-03-26
概念
一個正確的句子必須包含一個主謂結構。而在獨立主格中,不存在真正的主語和謂語,只有邏輯上的主語和謂語。
獨立主格的邏輯謂語由非謂語動詞構成。它主要有以下三個特點:
- 獨立主格結構的邏輯主語與句子的主語不是同一個,它獨立存在。
- 獨立主格結構的位置比較靈活,一般位於句首,也可以位於句尾。
- 獨立主格結構一般用逗號與句子隔開,與句子之間不使用任何連詞。
常見形式
不定式的獨立主格:
So much work to do, I will have to work overtime this Sunday.
So many letters to answer, the singer has to ask her assistant to help her.
現在分詞的獨立主格:
The rain having stopped, he went out for a walk.
The tour guide leading the way, we had no trouble getting out of the forest.
過去分詞的獨立主格:
The machine fixed, the worker found he colud do his work somoothly.
The students are listening attentively in class, their eyes fixed on the blackboard.
除此之外還有使用介詞短語、形容詞、副詞以及 There being + 名詞/代詞的結構。
句法功能
獨立主格可以表示謂語所發生的時間、原因等,理解成狀語。
The question settled, we went back to the office.
Weather permitting, the will go on an outing to the beach tomorrow.
