ACT-English 第二章. 第五讲

第五讲非谓语动词PART I 方法论非谓语动词是指在句子中充当除谓语以外其他句子成分的动词形式。

ACT-English中对于非谓语动词考察侧重于非谓语作状语、定语以及主语。

因此本讲重点讲解非谓语以上三个方面的用法。

对于非谓语动词的概念及形式可交叉参考句子结构p.1。

考点分类：非谓语作状语、定语、主语。

具体考点解析如下：1.非谓语作状语非谓语动词作状语的情况，通常是指非谓短语放在句首，表示时间、原因、方式、条件、目的等，句式结构为：doing/done/to do/to be done…, SVO。

非谓语的逻辑主语是句子的主语。

逻辑主语指非谓语动词逻辑上的动作发出者或接受者即其逻辑主语。

此类题解题思路如下：判断doing/done/to do短语和句子主语的关系，其中doing…短语与主语之间是主动关系，done…短语与主语之间是被动关系，不定式短语表示目的，to do…短语表示主动意义，to be done…表示被动意义。
