find/leave sb/sth +状态（介词词组，形容词，现在分词，过去分词，名词）

括号内的都可作为成份进一步说明补充sb/sth，牢记：这些都能作为相对独立的成分，直接修饰主语或者是宾语。

用在句子中间，作为复杂，高级的句子结构。

在句首时有逗号与主语隔开；在相关的名词之后，通常前后都是逗号。

She sat on the stairs. She was sad and lost

Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man saved up for years to buy a real bed

=as he was tired of sleeping on the floor, the young man bought a real bed.

-à两句话同一个时态，在结构上通过一种手段简化，作为状态来进一步修饰主语。

形容词，过去分词，介词词组能作为独立的成分来进一步补充名词

******************************************************************************************** ving作为相对独立的成分进一步补充说明

Looking around, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus

=As I looked around, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.

ving做形容词时1，表示的确地进行，做定语体现出名词的动态状况2，表示长期的习惯性的主动。3，leave/find sb doing中表示的是实实在在的进行。

新型巨资结构之间的ving要进行从新定义：

如下面4句话。

1）he is reading in his study 他在书房看书

2）he is in his study reading他在书房看书

介词词组在句子中位置自由，可前可后。

“在”和“读书”两个动作同时发生，没有先后。

“在”是一个比较含糊的动作，无法生动具体描述动作主体。

“河岸上有一棵树”there is a tree on the river bank。 “有”也是同样含糊。

 “there stands a tree on the river bank” 化静为动，

同样的道理推广

3）he often sits in his study reading他坐在书房看书

4）he often sits reading under the tree.他坐在书房看书

be reading, sit reading à V(a)+V(b) ing

重新定义：次要动作（Vb）与主要动作V(a) 相比较，不超前不落后，同时发生，叫作进行

表述上，如果两个动词都比较简单，则主次动词连用；如果两个动词均复杂，则ving放在主要句子结构之外（句首或者句尾），通过“，”标志出

他站在那里怒气冲冲的看着我he stood glaring at me.

他坐在那里，思考着自己的未来he sits there, thinking about his future.

位置关系按照中文的行文逻辑走。

be动词只是动词的一种， -à be+ving狭义进行，v+ving广义进行, 两者统称进行

表示主要动词与次要动词相比教，不超前，不落后，同时发生。

次要动词由谓语动词降级，变成一种状态ving来补充说明主语进行更重要动作的状态。

我与其他同学一起走着，同时我在思考我的语法

I walked along with other students and I thought hard about grammar.

=I walked along with other students, thinking hard about grammar /deeply lost in thinking 

我去温州的时候，一心想发财

鲁宾逊沿着沙滩一边走一边不时地往后看

As he walked along the beach, he looked back from time to time.

=he walked along the beach, looking back from time to time, in fear of being followed by others

有时一个动作和另一个动作不是同时发生，但考虑到两个动作很连贯，没有停顿，一气呵成；则这类现象也同样处理。

他冲了出去，嘭得关上了门he rushed out, slamming the door behind him.

一脚踹开门，冲了进去，脸色通红

smashing the door open, he ｒｕｓｈｅｄin with his face red.

Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man picked up the mattress.

Ving /ved 的简单复习

Ving 1，形容词，所修饰的名词能让他人他物处于一种状态a frightening dog。

2，A)正在进行的状态，动态形容词： 如果短小， 直接放在被修饰的名次的前面；如果较长，放在名词之后。

The running horse./ The car waiting at the gate.

B)长期的，习惯性的主动：短小放在被修饰的名次之前，较长放在名词之后。

English-training company,/ grass-eating animal./the mountains lying below/beyond

3，结构上的简洁，强调一个动词降级，充当状态来衬托出另一个更重要的动作

Ved 1，形容词，所修饰的名词本身处于一种状态 ，且基本上描写心理，感觉a frightened dog

2，从被动的角度出发，被动形容词。短小直接放在被修饰的名词之前，较长放在名词之后。

A newly built house. The capital destroyed in last year’s air strike

Ved, 句子。 从被动的角度出发，类似于形容词

Very disappointed at her lover, she jumped into the river.
