一个英语句子的结构分析----高手进

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.
分析一下主句的句子结构
主句有个问题，就是had sb. doing sth.这句型呢？还是had 是谓语，a milk man是宾语，而delivering milk to our doorstep是一个整体？
请高手分析

Answer 1

你好。在你的句子里，have sb. doing sth.这个结构不存在。
we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.-------可以解释为：we had a milkman。He delivered milk to our doorstep.-------作者用分词做定语的语法把这两句合并了起来------- we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.-------也可以改写成定语从句-------we had a milkman who delivered milk to our doorstep.-------明白了吗？----have sb. doing sth 在你的句子里只是碰巧在一起。

have sb. doing sth / have sb do sth / have sth done 都不属于你句子里的那个意思。

Answer 2

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s时间状语从句 , we 主语had 谓语 a milkman 宾语 delivering milk to our doorstep. 定语
have sb doing 有这个结构，指听任某人做某事。这里不是。

Answer 3

we是主语，had是谓语，a milk man是宾语，而delivering milk to our doorstep.则是一个定语，修饰a milk man，而且deliver这个动作对于milk man是主动地，所以用动词ing形式
had好像没有doing的用法
像这种情况，翻译一下，一般就能看出来是否是定语了。

Answer 4

主句 we had a milkman
when I was a boy growing in New Jersy in the 1960s 时间状语从句
