现在分词与连词
One refers to the type of listening practice which we do when learning a foreign language. 如何分析上句中的 when learning?
分词作状语时,只能根据逻辑关系而不能根据语法特征来判定它是时间状语、条件状语或让步状语等。因此,有时会遇到很难判定其归属的情形。如果在分词之前加上 when, while, since, if, once, though, unless 等连词,就会很清楚地表明状语的性质。上句中的 when learning ...一看便知是时间状语。对于这种结构也可以作另外的解释:when learning 是省略了主语和助动词的时间状语从句。when learning = when (we are) learning。
