过去分词作状语

问题描述:

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?

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.

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.
