Yesterday I received a letter from my parents,who are both over 70,telling me that a big flood took place at my home village,causing serious damage to my house.句中含有非限制性定语从句,之后的telling和causing为何可以使用动词的ing形式?
telling me that a big flood took place at my home village,是现在分词作后置定语修饰a letter.等于 which told me that a big flood took place at my home village
causing serious damage to my house 是现在分词短语做结果状语,修饰took place
意料之中的结果用分词,意料之外的用动词不定式
如:
He hurried to the station,only to find the train had left.
再问: 现在分词做后置定语见过,但只见过直接跟在名词后的,例句中letter和telling不相连,也可以理解成现在分词做后置定语修饰吗?谢谢
再答: 我是说作后置定语呀!
letter 和分词短语之间有个介词短语 from my parents, who are both over 70, 这很正常
