英语语法中什么叫做逻辑主语

Answer 1

逻辑主语：是非谓语动词动作的执行者或承受者；它们在逻辑上存在着主谓关系或动宾关系，但不能直接作非谓语动词的主语，因此叫逻辑主语。
1. He admitted taking the money. 他承认（他）拿了那笔钱。
本句中，非谓语动词taking和主要动词admitted都是由句子的主语he支配的，所以本句中taking的逻辑主语就是句子主语He。
2. Finishing his work, he went to bed immediately. 完成工作后他立即上床睡觉。
本句中，非谓语动词finishing 的逻辑主语就是句子的主语he。
3. I saw him playing at the river side . （him 是playing 的逻辑主语）
4. It is impossible for you to finish so much work in so short a time . （you 是to finish 的逻辑主语）
5. Moved by his words , I told him all the news . （I 是moved 的逻辑主语）
6. It's kind of you to tell me the news . （you 是to tell 的逻辑主语）
7. The teacher asked me to answer his question . （me 是to answer 的逻辑主语）
8. They insisted on my/me finishing the report before Friday. （my/me 是to answer 的逻辑主语）
9. Jane’s being careless caused so much trouble. （Jane 是 being careless 的逻辑主语）
