英语表达问题
A and i were shoping when A lost all her coins down the stairwell due to her purse being dropped
being这里是不是有点多余?虽然due to 后面要接名词形式,那么如果due to 后有be动词的话是变成being 还是直接省略?
答
due to her purse being dropped作状语,due to后面接名词,不接从句,这里due to后面有主语her purse,因此be不能够省略,只能用being,可以把her purse being dropped看成类似独立主格的形式作宾语.这是一类比较特殊的语法.
