概括
独立主格结构是一个名词(或代词)作逻辑主语,加上一个形容词、副词、分词(现在分词\过去分词)、介词短语、不定式在整个句子中做状语。
主要特点:
- 独立主格结构的主语和主句的主语不同
- 独立主格结构中的主语与其后的形容词、副词、介词短语、分词、不定式存在逻辑上的主谓关系
- 一般与主句用逗号分开,与主句之间不使用任何连接词

独立主格结构的语法功能
独立主格结构主要表示谓语动词发生的时间、原因、条件或伴随状况,相当于一个状语从句或并列句。
1.时间状语
The work done(After the work had been done),we went home. //工作完成后,我们就回家了
2.条件状语
Weather permitting(If weather permits),they will go out.//如果天气允许,他们将会出去。
3.原因状语
An important lecture to be given tomorrow(As an important lecture will be given tomorrow),the professor has to stay up late into the night.//因为明天要发表一个重要的演讲,教授不得不熬夜到很晚。
4.伴随状语
He was laying on the grass,his hands crossed under his head(and his hands were crossed under his head). //他躺在草地上,双手交叉枕在脑后。
5.表示补充
A hunter came in,his face red with cold(his face was red with cold). //一个猎人走了进来,他的脸冻得通红。
We redoubled our efforts,eaching man working like two.//我们加倍努力,一个人干两个人的活。
注意:独立主格结构表示时间、条件或原因时,相当于一个状语从句;表示伴随或补充说明时,相当于一个并列句,放在句末。
使用独立主格结构的几个错点
1.与状语从句的转换问题
当状语从句的主语和主句的不一样的,可以使用独立主格结构代替状语从句
2.关于being/having being的省略问题
a.独立主格的主语是代词时,不可省略 It being Sunday,we went to church.
b.There being+名词的结构中,不可省略 There being no bus,we had to walk home.
3.所有格问题
独立主格结构没有所有格形式
如:The chief-editor arriving,we began the meeting.//一般用分词
4.完成时的使用问题
独立主格结构做时间或者原因状语时,可用完成时,表示动作发生在谓语之前
The listeners having taken their seats,the concert began.//听众坐好之后,音乐会开始了。
Tom having been late over and over,his boss was very disappointed.//由于汤姆再三的迟到,他的老板很失望。
