而作為英語(yǔ)中非常重要的一個(gè)語(yǔ)法現(xiàn)象，現(xiàn)在分詞(-ing)和過(guò)去分詞(-ed)是提升句式多樣性的一大利器，但同時(shí)也是學(xué)習(xí)中的一個(gè)難點(diǎn)和易錯(cuò)點(diǎn)。本文分四次重點(diǎn)分析寫作中常見(jiàn)的現(xiàn)在分詞和過(guò)去分詞用法，助你活學(xué)活用，為考生加分!
1. 現(xiàn)在分詞 vs. 定語(yǔ)從句
在寫作中，現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)常?？梢杂脕?lái)替換句中的定語(yǔ)從句，使句子結(jié)構(gòu)更精簡(jiǎn)，形成多樣化的句式。
現(xiàn)在分詞既可修飾人，也可修飾物，被修飾的成分可以是主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)或其他名詞性質(zhì)的成分。如：

【注】現(xiàn)在分詞作定語(yǔ)成分時(shí)，它所對(duì)應(yīng)的定語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)可以是一個(gè)一般時(shí)態(tài)的動(dòng)詞，如句(a)(b)(c)，也可以是一個(gè)進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)的動(dòng)詞，如句(e)(f)。
2. 現(xiàn)在分詞 vs. 狀語(yǔ)從句
現(xiàn)在分詞的另一重要用法是充當(dāng)狀語(yǔ)，通常用以表示原因或時(shí)間。
1) 表示原因：相當(dāng)于一個(gè)原因狀語(yǔ)從句

【注】現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語(yǔ)，表示“在做某事的過(guò)程中，發(fā)生了某事或做某事。”這時(shí)前面保留when，while等連詞。
(i) Knowing thegovernment's new environment protection policy, many high-techcompanies started developing products that are environmental-friendly. 了解了政府新出臺(tái)的環(huán)保政策后，許多高科技公司開始開發(fā)更環(huán)保的產(chǎn)品。
