002  分詞構句   Participial Structure

分詞構句成立的條件：

1)    當從屬子句(subordinate clause)與主要子句(primary clause)的主詞一致的時候。[這裡所說的從屬子句是副詞子句]

2)   將從屬子句簡化，改變成分詞構句(participial structure)。

從屬子句簡化步驟：

1)    省略從屬子句的連接詞(conjunction)與主詞。

       連接詞可以留下，但連接詞because除外。

2)   從屬子句的動詞 -

       a) 主動態 - 動詞簡化成 verb-ing。

       b) 被動態 - 動詞簡化成 p.p. (過去分詞past participle) 。

       c) 假若動詞是be verb，簡化成being。但實務上，將being省略。
