Question

请帮忙分析这句英语的语法结构

请解析Behind her there was a couple talking together in a lively way句中的“talking together in a lively way”的语法结构，
1、这个talking是现在进行时吗？怎么前面没有Be
还是说这里做动名词？
2、请帮忙解析“talking together in a lively way”整句语法结构

Answer 1

为您解答
1，talking....属于现在分词短语做后置定语，修饰couple

追答

Behind her 地点状语there 引导词was系动词 a couple实际主语 (talking together in a lively way）后置定语

后置定语里
Talking现在分词做非谓语动词 together 状语in a lively way状语
