1.There + be + N + V­ing/Vpp

說明 1. 此句型為分詞片語的延伸句型。

2. 如果名詞(N)為「主動發出動作者」，則後面接現在分詞(V­ing)，以表示「主動或進行中」；若(N)為「被動接受動作者」，則後面接過去分詞(Vpp)，以表示「被動」的狀態。

2. It + be (not) + Adj + that + S + V....

說明 此句型為省略對等連接詞and和其後子句主詞而形成的「分詞構句」，用來表達「附帶動作」或「兩個動作發生的順序」。當 and 連接的兩個子句的主詞相同時，可省略 and 及其後子句的主詞外，再將該子句的主動動詞改為現在分詞(V­ing)。
