等,使其时间意义更明确。

提示:
a. 值得注意的是,有些过去分词(短语)因来源于系表结构,作状语时不强调被动而重在描述
主语的状态。这样的过去分词(短语)常见的有:lost(迷路); seated(坐); hidden(躲); lost/absorbed
in(沉溺于); dressed in(穿着); tired of(厌烦)。
◆ Lost in thought, he didn’t hear the bell.
由于陷入沉思之中,他没有听到铃声。
典型例题:
(2018·北京卷) Ordinary soap,__________ (use) correctly, can deal with bacteria effectively.
【答案】used
【解析】考查非谓语动词作状语。句意:普通的香皂,只要使用正确,就可以有效除菌。use
与其逻辑主语为被动关系,故填过去分词 used。
b. 过去分词作状语常见结构:
_______ (动词),S+V+O
S+V+O, _______ (动词)
S, _______ (动词),+V+O
