上面的分詞構句看得懂寫得出來嗎?
肚子好餓,寫講義跟做影片花了一個早上,突然間就一點半多多了,暈倒。因為剛好被問到 Having had 的用法,昨天的新聞裡面德國總理第一劑先打 AZ 第二劑再打莫德納,其實就是一件事情發生在另外一件事情前面,說簡單很簡單,但是其實分詞構句是比較進階的文法,很常被學生用錯,尤其在寫作的時候。
潔西先前有寫了現在分詞構句,過去分詞構句,好像沒特別寫過這個完成分詞構句,反正現在也是很閒,就先躺在床上找了一些網頁有比較好的說明的覺得是 British Council 跟 BBC Learning English ,然後就起來整理,整理完錄影片,希望有講得讓大家比較清楚。
但是呢其實因為分詞構句常常是從副詞子句跟形容詞子句縮減而來的,影片中只能簡單介紹,對於副詞子句跟形容詞子句縮減不熟悉的建議先看完再來看完最上面兩個連結中的影片,再來看這隻影片會更清楚。總之,潔西已經盡力了,希望大家看完有比較好的理解。有問題再留言,啊,超級餓,早餐也沒吃,做早午餐去了,祝大家有美好的一天!

A 什麼是分詞構句

分詞構句可以分為主動與被動
分詞構句可以分為現在分詞構句,過去分詞構句,跟完成分詞構句
