独 立 主 格
独立主格结构是由一个相当于主语的名词或代词加上非谓语动词、形容词(副)词、或介词短语构成的一种独立成分。该结构不是句子,也不是从句,所以它内部的动词不能考虑其时态、人称和数的变化,它与其主句之间既不能通过并列连词连接也不能有从句引导词引导,常用逗号与其主句隔开。独立主格结构在很多情况下可以转化为相应的状语
从句或其他状语形式,但很多时候不能转化为分词形式,因为它内部动词的逻辑主语与主句主语不一致。在做这类题目时一定要小心判断,不能粗心大意。 一. 独立主格结构的特点:
1)独立主格结构的逻辑主语与句子的主语不同,它独立存在。
2)名词或代词与后面的分词,形容词,副词,不定 式,介词等是主谓关系。
3)独立主格结构一般有逗号与主句分开。 二、独立主格结构的构成形式 名词(代词)+现在分词、过去分词; 名词(代词)+形容词; 名词(代词)+副词; 名词(代词)+不定式; 名词(代词) +介词短语构成。
1. 名词或代词+现在分词 现在分词表示前面的名词或代词主动进行的动作或状态。如:
The man lay there, his hands trembling.
有时,现在分词being或having been在独立主格结构中可以省略。如:
The weather (being) fine,we decided to go swimming. 2. 名词或代词+过去分词 过去分词表示前面的名词或代
词被动完成的动作。如:
The girl sat there silent,her head bent low.
All things considered, her paper is of greater value than yours.
3. 名词或代词+不定式(短语) 不定式表示将来的动作。如:
He suggested going for a picnic,Mary to provide the food.
Time is pressing, two hours to go only. 4. 名词或代词+名词(短语) 如:
Many people joined in the work, some of them women and children.
5. 名词或代词+形容词(短语) 形容词(短语)说明前面名词或代词的性质或状态。如:
The floor wet, we had to stay outside for a while. 6. 名词或代词+副词 副词也多是说明前面名词或代词的状态。如:
The meeting over, we all went home. 7. 名词或代词+介词短语 如:
The teacher came in, a book in his hand.
有时,独立主格结构中名词前面的定语可以省略。如: The boy lay silently on the grass, (his) eyes closed.
A girl was walking in the street, (a) flower in (her) hand. 三. 独立主格结构的作用 1. 作状语 1) 表示时间 如:
Her homework done (=After her homework was done),Lucy decided to go shopping. 2) 表示原因 如:
There being no buses (Because there were no buses),we had to walk home. 3) 表示条件 如:
Weather permitting (If weather permits), we will go to play football.
4) 表示方式或伴随 如:
He rushed into the room, his face covered with sweat. 2. 作同位语 如:
There are two doors, one leading to the bedroom, the other (leading) to the kitchen. 四.With/without 引导的独立主格结构 A. with+名词代词+形容词

lights on.
