『用英语学英语』英文语法为什么要有独立主格?
用英语学英语,用工具来学习工具。最近总是要捣腾些事情,虽然我还是一个接近毕业的毕业gou,但就控制不住自己的不务正业啊~
英语学英语就是这样子产生的,准备写一小系列的英文语法知识陈述,一方面再巩固下渣的英文语法知识,另外一方面也从探询各个语法知识点背后的知识逻辑,探询为什么就要有这个语法点?

回归正题,英文语法中为什么要有独立主格?
在学习英文语法的过程中,独立主格是一个比较酷的知识点吧,一方面是因为它被单独拎出来讲,英文老师把它作为进阶知识点进行补充,在各大中高考中也是比较常考的知识点。另外一方面是它的名字确实比较酷炫,独立主格?哇塞,跟其他什么被动语态、名词、代词、形容词、时态什么都不一样好嘛。。
一般学生同学难免会觉得,哇塞,英文老师肯定又要说独立主格在英文中是高级用法#@%……¥#之类的吧。
A尼为!
独立主格结构(Independent Genitive)由两部分组成,前一部份是名词或者代词,后一部分是非谓语动词(不定式、动名词和分词)或形容词、副词、或介词短语。前后两部分具有逻辑主谓关系。独立主格结构在句中做状语,多用于书面语。 独立主格结构本身不是句子,在句子中作状语
下边是Wiki的说法,
In English grammar, a nominative absolute is a free-standing (absolute) part of a sentence that describes the main subject and verb. It is usually at the beginning or end of the sentence, although it can also appear in the middle. Its parallel is the ablative absolute in Latin or the genitive absolute in Greek.
One way to identify a nominative absolute is to add a conjunction #连词 and a verb: one can always create a subordinate clause out of a nominative absolute by adding a subordinate conjunction (such as "after" or "because") and a form of the verb to be.
- Examples
- The dragon slain # 杀死(slay的过去分词), the knight took his rest.
- The battle over, the soldiers trudged back to the camp.
In each case, if a conjunction such as "after" or "because" were added before the nominative absolute as well as the verb "was", the absolute would become a subordinate clause# 从句.
- Because the dragon was slain, the knight took his rest.
- After the battle was over, the soldiers trudged back to the camp.

好了,这就是为什么英文有独立主格及独立主格的用法啦,认得就行,2017/3/13又学到一个知识点,就这样啦~写论文去了
