John

It's about the usage of "with".

get confused about its another usage and it's called the composite structure of "With".

I have known Its normal usage.

For example:With winter coming on, it’s time to buy warm clothes.

She sat with her head bent

The day was bright, with a fresh breeze blowing.

In this structure,with is preposition and the other two words used after it respectively are objects and objective complements.

Objective complemen is present participle and I knew it.

BUT! The problem is whether I can use Gerund after that.

For example: With John having finished his homework, he could finally go to play basketball with his brother.

With my father's having done a great job beforehand,he was hired by his current boss eventually.

Another problem, I saw a picture in Yahoo website and I found a negative form in this composite structure of With

Can I say:"WIth my uncle not being able to make this work done,He was finally fired by his boss."?

Or,Can I add a perfect participle into this strucuture?

For example: With my mother not having finished her cooking yet,our whole family could not enjoy a nice dinner.

With our manager not having finished this project,the comany is going to be in a big trouble.

or With his not having paid attention to what was say in the listiening comprehension of the English test,Terry failed to pass it and had to retake the test again.

I get the hang of the positive form of this expression and it is used as below.

1) It's harmful for people to smoke cigarettes every day.

But,now,I'd like to know whether I can always put "not" before "to do" ,when I want to make a sentence.

eg. 2) It seemed selfish of him not to give them anything.

3) It was so silly of us not to believe him and accpet his ideas at that time.

Could you tell me whether sentence 2) and sentence 3) are right?

Why?

So I'd like to know whether I can put "not" in Absolute Phrase.

For example:

1) Weather permitting,we will go for an outing tomorrow.

Can I say "Weather not permitting, we will not be able to go for an outing tomorrow.

2) Work finished,Bob could finally go home for relaxation.

Can I change it into this?

"Work not finished yet,Bob went home without his supervisor's permission.

Get stuck somewhere in a week ago.No new questions come out again in my page.What happened?

Now,I get confused with the usage of this word "with". Here are the sentences I make.

1) With John finishing his homework,all of us can now go to play bsketball with him together.

2) With John's finishing his homework. all of us can now go to the convert with him tonight.

3) With John not working out for our football team, we lost to our opponent in this match.

4) With Mary's having finished her housework, she can go to the park with her neighbours

5) With Mary having finished doing her housework, she can go to the park with her husband.

Could you please tell me which ones are right above? I think I got confused with the normal usage of "with" and its compound structure.

I know the basic with compound structure and their structures are listed as follows:

1) with/without+proun+adj

2) with/without+proun+adv

3) with/without+proun+preposition phrase

4) with/without+proun+to do/to be done

5) with/without+proun+doing/being done

6) with/without+proun+done

The question is whether I can use this structure: with+proun+having done/having been done???

1) With my homework having been done, I could go to the park with my friends this time yesterday.

2) With Bob having finished his housework, we can go to the bar together.

Am I right? Any idea is appreciated.Thanks.

1) With him finishing his homework, Bob is able to go to the cinema with his friend tonight.

2) Having finished his homework, Bob is able to go to the cinema with his classmates tonight.

We all can feel that there is an obvious time gap between "go to the cinema" and "finish his homework” in the second sentence. But can you guys feel this gap in the first setence. Why and Why not.

Thanks！

Ok, here's the sentence. "The British Ministry of Food refined the rationing process in the early 1940s to ensure the population did not starve when food imports were severely restricted and local production limited due to the large number of men fighting the war."

Local production limited due to the large number of men fighting the war?

1) limited due to... Is this participle worked as an attributive?

2) due to the large number of men fighting the war. Here "of men fighting the war" fighting" is used as gerund and "men" as its logical subject.

Am I right there?

I have got a problem on objective complement here. Could you please tell me whether these two sentences are the structure of objective complement? Why and why not??

1) "My day is afraid of me protesting my boss in person"

2) This is a picture of president Trump shaking hands with Obama.

And what's the difference between Objective Complement and Gerund Composite Structure. Thank you.

I got the conclusion about the usage of objective complement structure. So, according to my knowledge, I think the objective complement structure can only be used after two conditions. 1) After some verbs, such as call，name，make，think，find，leave，keep，nominate，choose，elect，define，regard， see，recognize，treat，take，consider，look up，refer to，accept，acknowledge，describe，depict，represent，declare，denounce，employ，use，show，organize，express,see，hear，notice，watch，feel，observe, make，have，let and so on. 2). It can be used in the composite structure of WITH. With+objective+Objective complement. EXPCEPT these two conditions, any other place that I find in a sentence is a preposition plusing an objective or gerund. such as "I am afraid of protesting my boss in person". This is a picture of president Trump shaking hands with Obama. Am I right here???

Dear all

I know the sentence pattern "there be" is different from " have"and it does not mean a person have but something or someone doing or existing in some place. One thing I am not sure is that whether or not I can put "for sb" in the middle. Let us see this sentence I make:

"There are many kinds of fruit for you to choose from in this stand." Is this sentence right?

Are there any other parenthesis which I can use in this kind of sentence?

Please do some analysis for me?

Thank you again.

The sentence is like this: "Jane's having passed the maths test made us all relieved. "

Sentence No. 2:" Anyone having passed the test has got a prize."

Please do some analysis for me. Thank you, all.

Cound anyone told me whether I can use the negative structure when the present participle is used as the postpositive attributive？

Here is the two sentences: 1) The man not wearing shoes is one of my student here.

2) Anyone not obeying the decrees of the new military junta could expect to be reckoned with.

Are these two sentences correct here? Why and Why not?

The sentence No.1 "The young woman insisted on Jim and his father not having stolen the package of the old man in the warehouse".

Sentence No.2 " Tom was very thankful to Jim and his father's having helped to repaired the car for him"

Sentence No.3 " Do you still remember Jam and his father having repaired this bicycle for us two months ago?"

Thank you very much for checking them really.
