(L34)一、独立主格结构的含义和实质“独立主格结构”又叫“独立结构”,是带有自己主语的非谓语动词分句和无动词分句。由于在语法上有自己的逻辑主语,结构上与主句不发生关系,因此传统语法叫做“独立主格结构”。其实,所谓“独立主格结构”并非真正独立,它还是一种从属分句,与主句紧密联系在一起,共同表达一个完整的意思,通常在句中起状语分句的作用

26、。独立主格结构可放于句首、句尾,用逗号和主句隔开。二、独立主格结构的基本形式和功能 独立主格结构可以分为两部分:一部分是名词或代词,起逻辑主语的作用;另一部分是非谓语动词分词(现在分词、过去分词、不定式)无动词分句(名词、形容词、副词、介词短语),表示前面的名词或代词的动作或状态。基本形式是:名词普通格/代词主格+现在分词/过去分词/不定式/名词/代词/形容词/副词/介词短语,with引导的复合结构.Difficult Points:Difficult Points:三、独立主格例句The old lady stood by the window, her hands trembling.She walked along hurriedly, her purse held tightly in her hand.The little girl entered the room, her face red with cold. The whole village was deadly silent. The only sign of life was a goat
