Question

Henry Clay Frick,a rich New Yorker,died in1919 ,LEAVING his house,furniture and art collection to the American people.
这里的leave为什么要加ing,老师说是结果状语从句,表主动,我不是很懂,

Answer 1

本句话句子成分首先要弄清：
Henry Clay Frick是主语
a rich New Yorker是主语的同位语成分,补充说明Henry Clay Frick；
died in1919 是句子的谓语成分.至此本句主句完成.
LEAVING his house,furniture and art collection to the American people.是主句的附属成分,解释说明主句,从用法上看是现在分词短语做状语,表示主语“死后”同时发生的事或结果：为美国人留下一套豪宅、家具和艺术品.
