分詞構句是由副詞子句轉化而來的結構，用來表示時間、原因、條件、讓步及附帶狀況。

例：Because he was a shy student, he dare not ask his teacher questions.

由連接詞because所引導的子句即為副詞子句，後面這句則為主要子句

在副詞子句的主詞與主要子句的主詞相同時，

我們可將副詞子句中的連接詞及主詞去掉，並將動詞改為V-ing，

即為簡單分詞構句。

Being a shy student, he dare not ask his teacher questions.

When he saw the policeman, he ran away.

Seeing the policeman, he ran away.

Because the book is written in simple English, the book is suitable for beginners.

Being written in simple English, the book is suitable for beginners.

在分詞構句中，過去分詞前的"Being"可省略，所以第二個句子也可以寫成：

Written in simple English, the book is suitable for beginners.

分詞構句也可以保留從屬連接詞，使語意更明確。

Before going to the party, she spent 2 hours dressing herself up.

When asked if he would come back, he didn't say anything.

在"being"被省略的情況下，我們可能會看到以V-ing或過去分詞(p.p.)開頭的簡單分詞構句，

要判斷究竟是V-ing或過去分詞(p.p.)，要以主要子句的主詞來判斷，

________ on the street, I met an old friend. (walking, walked) P.S. I walked

________ from the mountain, Taipei looks beautiful at night.  (seeing, seen) P.S. Taipei is seen
