The fire, which is thought to have started from the 8th floor, spread quickly through the tower block on Sunday night,leaving people on the upper floors trapped.
周日晚上的大火被认为是从9楼开始的,很快蔓延到整座公寓大楼,把高楼层的人们困在里面。
句式剖析:
本句是复合句,which引导__________________,修饰先行词The fire,句子的谓语是spread,现在分词短语 leaving people on the upper floors trapped 在句中做结果状语。
非限制性定语从句
考点提炼: 现在分词(短语)做结果状语常表示“意料、情理之中”,这种分词(短语)的逻辑主语既可以是句子的主语,也可以是前边的整个句子;逻辑主语为前边的整个句子时,其作用相当于一个非限制性定语从句。
The universities have expanded,thus _________(allow)many more people the chance of higher education.
现在分词(短语)做结果状语通常表示预料之中的结果,而不定式做结果状语常表示出乎意料的结果。
He woke up and looked out of the window, only ________(find) the world outside greatly changed.

句式剖析:
本句是when连接的并列句,when相当于 and at this time,意为“就在这时”,是并列连词。

when做并列连词,表示“就在这时,突然”,在英语学习中,我们经常见到与并列连词when相关的句式,现将其归纳如下:
