与名词修饰语不同，动词修饰语可以不用紧挨被修饰的主语。但也应该放置正确，修饰正确的动词，避免歧义。GMAT的句子中常将修饰语与其被修饰的名词隔开，接下来小编就GMAT语法修饰语为大家介绍一下，希望对大家备考GMAT语法考试有所帮助。
1、注意放在句首的修饰语。GMAT的句子中常将修饰语与其被修饰的名词隔开。
2、形容词只能修饰名词与代词;副词可以修饰除名词与代词的词、句
3、系动词(如：feel)后跟形容词而不是副词。
Amy is feeling GOOD. (Good is an adjective that modifies the noun Amy.)
4、★考试经常出现：
形容词+形容词+名词：在此结构中，两个形容词均修饰名词
副词+形容词+名词：在此结构中，副词修饰形容词，形容词修饰名词
·James is Max’s supposed Irish ancestor.
supposed(adj.)修饰ancestor，表明James可能是，也可能不是MAX的ancestor.
·Max’s grandmother is his supposedly Irish ancestor.
此处supposedly一定要用副词形式，因为M的奶奶肯定是M 的祖先，只是不知道是不是Irish。
常见的形容词+ly 变副词的词语: corresponding, frequent, independent, rare, recent,
seeming, separate, significant, supposed, usual.
有些选项会把-ly丢掉(变成形容词)，不要忽视这样的不同。
5、【名词修饰语】名词修饰语的作用像很长的形容词。形容词、介词短语，过去分词，不加逗号的现在分词，从句，同位语(另一个名词)。
| 介词短语 | ON the couch, the cat took a nap. |
| The cat, ON the couch took a nap. | |
| 过去分词 | The TIRED cat took a nap. |
| TIRED from chasing mice, the cat took a nap. | |
| The cat, TIRED from chasing mice, took a nap. | |
| 不加逗号的现在分词 | The SLEEPING cat took a nap. |
| The cat SLEEPING on the rug is named "Sue." | |
| 同位语 | A LOVER of mice, my cat hunts night and day. |
| The cat, a TABBY raised on a farm, took a nap. |
注意放在句子开头的长修饰语。GMAT考试很爱出这样开头就是修饰语的句子。
√TIRED from chasing mice, the cat took a nap.
6、【修饰语的位置】
①确保名词与其修饰语相邻。如果修饰语靠近另外一个名词，则会产生误解。
× Jim biked along an old dirt road to get to his house, which cut through the woods.
②每一个名词修饰必须对应一个修饰对象，不能缺乏修饰对象，且修饰对象应与其逻辑对应。
× Resigned to the bad news, there was no commotion in the office.
×There was no commotion in the office, resigned to the bad news.
√ Resigned to the bad news, the office worker made no commotion.
resigned是一个动作，只能修饰人。
③注意放在句首的现在分词形式修饰语：作为“动作”的表达，通常需要一个合适的主语来使句子逻辑意义表达合理。
× Using the latest technology, the problem was identified.
× The problem was identified, using the latest technology.
√ Using the latest technology, the engineer identified the problem.
√ The engineer identified the problem, using the latest technology.
放在句尾表示主语动作的伴随结果或方式
④避免一长串修饰语修饰同一个名词;连续两个长修饰语修饰名词会导致句子意思不清，awkward!
× George Carlin, both shocking and entertaining audiences across the nation, who also struggled publicly with drug abuse, influenced and inspired a generation of comedians.
Better: Both shocking and entertaining audiences across the nation, George Carlin, who also struggled publicly with drug abuse, influenced and inspired a generation of comedians.
√Both shocking and entertaining audiences across the nation, George Carlin influenced and inspired a generation of comedians, even as he struggled publicly with drug abuse.
更好的解决办法是改掉其中一个修饰语，使其成为句子的一部分。
7、【当心所有格!】这种形式经常会出现修饰错误，要区分所修饰的内容指的是人还是物。
×：Unskilled in complex math, Bill's score on the exam was poor.
此句中，修饰语Unskilled in complex math描述的是Bill而不是score。
特别注意抽象名词(如：development)。逻辑意义是否正确。
×Only in the past century has origami's development, a ceremonial activity invented millennia ago, into a true art form taken place.
a ceremonial activity invented millennia ago可能就近修饰development，
而development 不是一个 ceremonial activity。
√Origami-a ceremonial activity invented millennia ago-has developed into a true art form only in the past century.(修饰语应紧跟被修饰名词)
8、【关系代词】有很多限制：
①who和whom只能修饰人
②which 必须修饰物(things)
③that不可以修饰人
④whose可以修饰人也可以修饰物
⑤That/whom：修饰的成分是定语从句中的宾语的时候，是可以省略的
√The movie that we watched last Friday was scary.
√ The movie we watched last Friday was scary.
⑥where可以修饰具体地点(如：area，site，country，Nevada地名)，但不能修饰如：condition，situation，case，circumstance， arrangement这些抽象性的“地方”。此时用in which。
⑦when可以修饰事件(名词)和时间，如：period, age, 1987,or decade。此时when可以与in which互换。
⑧which 和whom 有时跟在介词后面：the canal through which water flows;the senator for whom we worked.
9、【限定性和非限定性的名词修饰】
限制性名词修饰，一般用the，无逗号隔开，引导词为that：The mansion THAT has been painted red is owned by the Lees.
非限制性名词修饰，一般用this/these，有逗号隔开，先行词用which：This mansion，WHICH has been recently painted red, is owned by the Lees.
关于which 和that的区别是有争议的，有时候可能不好区分which和that，但是即使which前面有介词例如for which，也依然需要遵循逗号原则来表达非限制性修饰。
This mansion, for which I yearn, is owned by the Lees.
10、【动词修饰语】
作用相当于副词。副词、介词短语、从句。
注意：because, although, if, unless, while, so that, while等作为引导词的从句：
考点：引导的是一个句子，必须有完整的主谓宾。
引导的是从属句(条件句)，不能独立存在。要有主句。(常考)
与名词修饰语不同，动词修饰语可以不用紧挨被修饰的主语。但也应该放置正确，修饰正确的动词，避免歧义。
×The nameless symphony was at last performed, decades after it was composed, yesterday.
√ The nameless symphony was at last performed yesterday, decades after it was composed.
第一句话的yesterday放置的位置似乎是在昨天compose的，和句意不搭配。
11、【which和v.ing】
①记住which用来指代紧随其前的名词，永远不会指代整个从句!(常考)
②现在分词结构(v.ing)的运用非常灵活：
(1)它可以直接修饰名词 e.g., the changing seasons
(2)它可以修饰动词及其主语 e.g., llifted the weight, whistling.
(3)它还可以修饰整个从句，Crime has recently decreased …leading to a rise.这种用法用在当你想表达主句的结果时最恰当。
(4)v.ing 形式在主系表结构中，可以修饰其前面紧跟的名词(修饰歧义?)
(5)v.ing 形式在主谓宾结构之后，可以表示与谓语动词同时发生，表伴随，其逻辑主语就是主句的主语。伴随主句的动作
