过去分词作时间、条件或让步状语时,为了明确其意义有时可在分词前加上when, while, if, once, unless, although 等连词,相当于状语从句的省略。

语法点二 过去分词(短语)的独立结构
过去分词(短语)作状语时,过去分词(短语)的逻辑主语通常是句子的主语,否则,分词(短语)前应加上自己的主语。这种带有自身主语的过去分词(短语)被称为过去分词(短语)的独立结构。过去分词(短语)的独立结构通常在句中作状语,可表示时间、原因、条件等。
The test finished, we began our holiday.
考试结束了,我们开始放假了。
The book written in simple English, it will be more popular.
这本书如果用简易英语写的话,将会更流行。
比较下面两个句子中的逻辑主语:
More time given, we should have done it much better.(独立主格)
Given more time, we should have done it much better.(过去分词作状语)

[点津] 过去分词作状语时应注意的几个问题
1.过去分词作状语时其逻辑主语为主句的主语,此时应注意人称一致。试比较:
Moved by the story, tears came to her eyes.(F)
tears 不是move 的逻辑主语,故此句不正确。
