節
節／従属節（以下クローズ＝Clausesと表記)とは、２つ以上の語のかたまりでS+Vを含みますが、それ自体ではセンテンスとして完全な意味を持ちません。 センテンスの中であたかも１つの品詞（語）であるように名詞的に（Noun Clauses)、形容詞的に（Adjective Clauses)、副詞的に（Adverbial Clauses)働きます。
名詞節 Noun Clauses
関係詞（who, what, why, how など）、疑問詞（who, what, why, where など）、従位接続詞（ that , if, whetherなど）に導かれ、センテンスの中で主語、目的語、補語、また先行する名詞を説明する同格の役割を果たします。節全体で１つの名詞のように働きます。
例文
□ 'The woman who lives across the street' used to work for our company. ＜向かいに住んでいる婦人は以前私たちの会社で働いていた＞
□ Can you tell me where I can find the bus stop? ＜バス停の場所を教えていただけますか？＞
□ I know that he is a famous painter. ＜私は彼が有名な絵描きだということを知っている＞
□ The question is whether he will join us or not. ＜彼が私たちに加わるかどうかということが問題だ＞
□Ludwig van Beethoven, who wrote many outstanding works including the Nineth Symphony, was hearing-impaired in his last years. ＜交響曲第九番を始め多くの優れた楽曲を残したベートーベンは晩年耳が聞こえなかった＞
□ I'll give you whichever picture you like. ＜どちらでも君が好きなほうの絵をあげるよ＞
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.
