独立主格结构由名词或者代词加上其他成分(分词,不定式,名词,代词,形容词,副词或介词短语构成。独立主格是一个独立的短语,它是一个“格”,而不是一个“句子”,在英语中任何一个句子都要有主谓结构,而在这个结构中,没有真正的主语和谓语动词,但又在逻辑上构成主谓或主表关系。
我们称动作或状态实行者为逻辑主语,称该动作或状态为逻辑谓语。
“独立主格结构”是由名词或代词作为逻辑主语,加上分词、形容词、副词、动词不定式或介词短语作为逻辑谓语构成。独立主格有以下特点:
名词和代词通常为现在分词所表示的动作的执行者,与现在分词构成逻辑上的主谓关系,如:
名词和代词通常为过去分词所表示的动作的承受者,与过去分词构成逻辑上的动宾关系或系表关系。

He looked at the beautiful picture, eyes wide open.他看着这幅美丽的图画,眼睛挣得大大的。(表示伴随)
名词和代词是不定式的动作的执行者,与不定式构成逻辑上的主谓关系,这种结构可以位于句首或句末。

the teacher entered the classroom, a book in hand 老师进入教室,手里拿着本书。(表示伴随)

“独立主格结构”在句中的功能就相当于一个带有自己主语的非限制性状语从句。其实,虽然叫做独立主格结构,并不是真正的独立,它还是一种从属分句,在句中有多种作用。如:表原因、表条件、表方式、表伴随、表时间等,在句中通常起状语作用。
独立主格结构主要用于描绘性文字中,其作用相当于一个状语从句,常用来表示时间、原因、条件、行为方式或伴随情况等。例如:
