Returning home,she began to cook. 现在分词短语表示时间,相当于一个时间状语从句: Hearing the news,they all jumped with joy. Returning home,he began to do his homework. Having finished her work,she went home. 再问: 为什么要用现在分词短语 she后面用began 不是应该一直的吗 再答: 现在分词短语作状语,其逻辑主语应该和句子的主语是一致的。 Returning home, she began to cook.(主语都是指she) 现在分词作时间状语,相当于 when 等引起的从句。 When she returned home, she began to cook.
