現(xiàn)在分詞和過(guò)去分詞主要差別在于：現(xiàn)在分詞表示“主動(dòng)和進(jìn)行”，過(guò)去分詞表示“被動(dòng)和完成”（不及物動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞不表示被動(dòng)，只表示完成）。分詞可以有自己的狀語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)或邏輯主語(yǔ)等。

1、分詞作狀語(yǔ)分詞在句子中作狀語(yǔ)，可以表示時(shí)間、條件、原因、結(jié)果、讓步、伴隨等。分詞做狀語(yǔ)時(shí)，它的邏輯主語(yǔ)與句子的主語(yǔ)一致。作狀語(yǔ)的分詞相當(dāng)于一個(gè)狀語(yǔ)從句。

[例如]

Hearing the news， they all jumped with joy. Using what you know of word stems and word formations， you can make a guess at the meaning of a new word. The students went out of the classroom， laughing and talking. Accompanied by his friend， he went to the railway station.Given better attention， the plants could grow better. He looked tired and depressed， visibly disturbed by the news of his mother‘s illness.

分詞在句子中作狀語(yǔ)，使用何種分詞，要取決于分詞與句子主語(yǔ)的關(guān)系：主謂關(guān)系用現(xiàn)在分詞，動(dòng)賓或被動(dòng)關(guān)系用過(guò)去分詞。

[例如]

Taught by mistakes and setbacks， we have become wiser and handled our affairs better. （we are taught/teach us） .Inspired by the International， the working people of all countries have been fighting for their final liberation. （the working people were inspired/ inspire the working people）____the earth to be flat， many feared that Columbus would fall off the edge.

A）shavingsbelieved B） Believing C） Believed D） Being believed

本句意思為：相信地球是平的，許多人擔(dān)心哥倫布會(huì)從邊上掉下去。許多人與相信之間是主謂關(guān)系，及分詞與主語(yǔ)之間為主謂關(guān)系。因此，應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在分詞，答案為B.

No matter how frequently ____， the works of Beethoven always attract large audiences.

A） performing B） performed C） to be performed D） being performed

本句中貝多芬的作品被反復(fù)表演，可見分詞與句子的主語(yǔ)之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，應(yīng)該用過(guò)去分詞，故答案為B.

____as it was at such a time， his work attracted much attention.

A） Being published B） Published C） Publishing D） To be published

本句中as引導(dǎo)的是讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，意思為：他的作品盡管在被這樣的時(shí)候出版，還是引起了關(guān)注，可見分詞與句子的主語(yǔ)之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，應(yīng)該用過(guò)去分詞，故答案為B.

2、“while （ when， once， until， if ， though等連詞）+分詞”結(jié)構(gòu)現(xiàn)在分詞或過(guò)去分詞作狀語(yǔ)時(shí)，有時(shí)可以在分詞前加while，when， once， although， until， if等連詞。

[例如]

When leaving the airport， she waved again and again to us.While waiting for the train， I had a long talk with my sister about her work……

Once recovered， he threw himselfsintoshis work and made every effort to do it well.

Although working very hard， he failed to pass the final exam.If translated word by word， the passage will be difficult to understand.

3、分詞作定語(yǔ)分詞作定語(yǔ)時(shí)，單個(gè)的分詞通常放在被修飾的名詞之前，分詞短語(yǔ)一般置于所修飾的中心詞后面。現(xiàn)在分詞修飾的是發(fā)出該動(dòng)作的名詞（即與名詞有主謂關(guān)系），過(guò)去分詞修飾承受該動(dòng)作的名詞（即與名詞是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系）。

[例如]

We will go on with our experiment as soon as we get the added fund.

This is really an exhausting day to all of us！

We can see the part of the moon lighted by sunlight.

A）shavingsB） to have C） to have had D）shavingshad Town

后面由分詞做定語(yǔ)，而且town本身有50或以上人家，故town與分詞間為主謂關(guān)系，應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在分詞，答案為A.

4、分詞作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)現(xiàn)在分詞在see， watch， hear， observe， notice， feel， find， glimpse， glance等感官動(dòng)詞和look at， listen to等短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞以及have， keep， get， catch， leave， set， start， send等使役動(dòng)詞后面與名詞或代詞構(gòu)成復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)，作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)語(yǔ)的成分。

5、分詞作表語(yǔ)分詞作表語(yǔ)通?？醋餍稳菰~來(lái)用?，F(xiàn)在分詞表示主語(yǔ)的性質(zhì)，而且主語(yǔ)多為物；過(guò)去分詞表示主語(yǔ)的感受或狀態(tài)，主語(yǔ)多為人。
