句
句（以下フレーズ＝Phrasesと表記)とは、２つ以上の語のかたまりで１つの品詞（語）と同じような働きをするもので、S+Vを含みません。 フレーズにはいくつかのタイプがあります。 一般的にそれぞれのフレーズの働きが名詞的か、形容詞的か、副詞的かというとらえかたをします。 ここでは、前置詞句（Prepositional Phrases）と動名詞句（Gerund Phrases）、そして句動詞（Phrasal Verbs）を使ったセンテンスをみてみましょう。
前置詞句 Prepositional Phrases
前置詞＋（the/a）＋名詞 の形をとり、どこ(where)やいつ(when)、どういうふうに(how)などを 表したり補足します。
前置詞句を作る前置詞
about above according to across after ahead of along among apart from around as as far as at because of before behind below beside between beyond but(except) concerning contrary to despite down during except for from in in addition to in front of in place of in regard to in spite of in view of instead of into like near of off on on account of out out of outside over past since through to toward under underneath until(till) up up to upon with within without
- どこ(where)を表す例：
■ My brother parked the car in front of the garage and came into the house.
in front of とintoという前置詞を使った、太字部分の２つの前置詞句 が含まれています。
- いつ(when)を表す例：
■ Your homework must be finished before next Monday.
before を使った太字の部分が前置詞句です。
- どういうふうに(how)を表す例：
■ Because I was not properly dressed, I felt out of place at the party.
out ofを使った太字部分が前置詞句です。
動名詞句 Gerund Phrases
V + [ ing ] の形をとります。 一見動詞の-ing形ですが述語としての働きはなく、名詞として主語や目的語、補語の役割をします。 センテンスの始めにくるときには動名詞句の後に , (カンマ)が入り、その後に続くメインの独立した節(clause)と区切ります。
- 動名詞句を使ったセンテンス例：
■ Feeling tired, I went to bed early. (I was feeling tired. So I went to bed early.) ■ Jason hurt his leg playing soccor. (Jason was playing soccor. He hurt his leg.) ■ Departing airplanes were forced to wait at the terminal for 1 hour.（Sとして） ■ I like fishing in the river to relieve stress. （ likeのOとして ） ■ My hobby is playing the piano.（hobbyのCとして）
- ２つの事柄や状態が同時に起こっているときは、一方の動詞に 〜 ing をつけます。
■ My mother is in the kitchen making coffee. （Mother is in the kitchen and she is making coffee.) ■ Don't just stand there doing nothing ! ■ Jason hurt his leg playing soccor. (= while he was playing)
- while や when のうしろににも 〜 ing を使うことができます。
■ Jason hurt his leg while playing soccer. ■ Be careful when crossing the road. （= when you are crossing the road）
- １つの事柄や状態の前に起こった事象にはhaving done または after -ing を使います。
■ Having finished her work, she went back home. ■ After finishing her work, she went back home.
- ほとんど間をおかない動作のつながりでは having done のかわりに最初の動詞に -ing を使うことができます。
■ Taking a key out out of his pocket, he opened the door.
- “どうして” という説明をする場合、通常-ing句はセンテンスの始めに来ます。
■ Feeling tired, I went to bed early. ■ Not having a car, they find it difficult to get around.
- 意味上の主語を所有格（目的格）へ変えます。
■ I hope that John's taking that position means an increase in salary. （太字全体がS） ■ Barbara was ashamed of her brother's having stolen the money.
