Themanfollowingwasobviouslyinahurry。（现在分词单独作定语）

Theyactedjustlikeaconqueringarmy。（现在分词单独作定语）

Doyouknowthemanstandingovertherebythemotorcar?（分词短语作限定性定语。）

ThenameNebraskecomesfromtheOtoIndianword“ebrathka”.meaningflatwater.（分词短语作非限定性定语）The~ingform作状语现在分词作状语表示主语在进行一动作的同时所进行的另一动作，它对谓语动词起修饰或陪衬的作用。这时要注意现在分词与其逻辑主语在时态和意义上的统一。例如：

Rushingoutoftheroom,hehasknockeddownbyacar.（作时间状语）

=Whenherushedoutoftheroom,hewashnockeddownbyacar.

Workingharder,youwillpasstheentranceexam.（作条件状语）

=Ifyouworkharder,youwillpasstheentranceexam.

=EvenifItakeataxi,Iwillstillbelateforthemeeting.

Theroadisunderconstruction,thuscausingthedelay.（作结果状语）

=Theroadisunderconstruction,andthuscausedthedelay.

注意，当现在分词作让步状语时，一般放在句首，常常由although,though,evenif,unless等连词引入；作结果状语时，一般放在句末，前面可so,thus,henc。IV.ClosingdownbydoingaquizToendtheperiodyouaregoingtotakeaquizon~ingwords.~INGWORDS
