首先了解現在分詞和過去分詞的基本意義:現在分詞表示主動,進行。過去分詞表示被動或完成,要了解分詞,可以做哪幾種狀語,同時了解分詞做狀語和狀語從句之間的關系。一般來講分詞可以做時間,原因,條件,結果,讓步,伴隨等狀語,而且分詞做狀語一般可相當于狀語從句。注意:含有分詞句子其邏輯主語與句子主語一致。(獨立主格除外,其分詞的邏輯主語同句子的主語不一致,應帶上)
一、 分詞作時間狀語:相當于一個時間狀語從句
分詞做時間狀語一般位于句首,如帶有while,when,until,once等詞即可放于句首,也可位于句尾,此時時間意義更明確。
1. Hearing the news,they were very excited.
=When they heard the news,they were very excited.
2.I learned a lot while staying in the countryside.
=I learned a lot while I was staying in the countryside.
3.Water doesn't boil until heated to 100℃.
=Water doesnt,boil until it (water) is heated to 100℃

1.When_____help, one oftens says “Thank you”or “It is kind of you”(2005福建 A.offeringB.to offerC.to be offered ( D).offered
分析:原句可以變為:when one is offered help, one oftens says....
分詞的邏輯主語和后面的句子主語one一致,而且和offer 之間是被動關系,所以選D。
2.When_____different cultures,we often pay attention to the differences without noticing the many similarities.(2006浙江).
A.comparedB.being compared C.comparingD.having compared
分析:主語是we,分詞的邏輯主語是we,而且和compare之間是主動關系,所以應使用comparing。答案是C
二、 分詞做原因狀語:相當于原因狀語從句
例如:1.Being ill,he wouldn't come to school today.
=As he was ill, he wouldn,t come to school today
2. Moved by Leifeng's examples, they did a lot of good deeds.

2._________ by a greater demand for vegetables, farmer have built more green houses.(2007浙江)
A.DrivenB.Being drivenC.To drive D.Having driven
分析:原句可變為As farmers are driven by a greater demand for vegetables, farmer have built more green houses.從句主語為farmers,而且和drive之間構成被動關系。所以答案為A。
三、 分詞做條件狀語:相當于一個條件的狀語從句
分詞做條件狀語一般置于句首,前面若帶有if或unless也可置于句尾,此時條件更明確。
例如:1.Having time, I'll come and help you.
=If I have time , I'll come and help you.

B. if dealt not carefully withD.not if carefully dealt with
分析:原句可變為:If the situation is not carefully dealt with ,the situation will get worse.去掉從句主謂部分得出答案B。
四、 分詞做結果狀語:相當于結果狀語從句
一般位于句尾,有時可帶only或thus,在功能上相當于so that 引導的結果狀語從句。
例如:1。His wife died ,leaving him with three children.
=His wife died,so that she left him with three children.
2.He hit a parked car, thus breaking one of his legs.

五、 分詞做讓步狀語:相當于讓步狀語從句
分詞做讓步狀語一般位于句首,前面如帶有連詞whether 或though置于句首,句尾都可。
例如:1.Being ill,he still came to class.
=Though he was ill ,he still came to class.
2.Whether supported or not,I’ll go on with it.
=Whether( I,m )supported or not,I’ll go on with it.
高考鏈接:

分析:原句變為Though I had said that she didn,t do a good job.I don,t think I am abler than her.Say這個動作發生在另一個動作之前所以用having done形式,答案為B.
六、 分詞做伴隨狀語
大多位于句尾,表示其動作或情況與謂語表示的動作同時發生,功能上相當于一個并列句或并列謂語。

=she stood there and waited for the bus.
2.The teacher went out of the classroom,followed by his students.
