过去分词作状语

题目

过去分词作状语
Being taught by A,B made great progress.此句的过去分词前为什么要加being?

答案

being taught是现在分词的被动式,这里是“强调动作正在进行”
相当于：
Because B was being taught by A,B made great progress.
如果是只用过去分词
taught by A
就相当于：
B was taught by A,so B made great progress.
或
B had been taught by A,so B made great progress.
这里只交待taught动作,而不强调进行.
