一、伴随状语
伴随状语表示与谓语动词同时发生的次要动作,两者是“同时进行”的并列关系,通常可转化为“and +并列动词”,体现同时性,通常含有“在做……的同时还在做……”“一边……一边……”的意味。如:
She sat by the window, reading a book.
His wife came into the house carrying a bundle of clothes.
He would often discuss things with me, asking my opinion and disagreeing when he saw matters differently.
二、方式状语
方式状语用以说明谓语动词“如何发生”,是动作的执行方式或手段,通常无法转化为并列动词,只能用in...way/manner等短语来解释。如果要对方式状语提问,我们用 how。试体会下面的句子:
The children came running.
He earns a living driving a truck.
He spent the whole day doing his homework.
