本句中的their models being.为什么是being?用are 行不行?
The painting shows a serious-looking man and a woman standing alongside him in front of a farmhouse,their models being respectively the painter’s dentist and sister.
本句中的their models being.为什么是being?用are 行不行?
答
不行.
首先因为该句子已经有一个谓语shows了,所以一个句子不能有两个以上谓语. 其次being respectively the painter’s dentist and sister是现在分词短语作为后置定语修饰model,所以不能改成are.
