状语可以在句中的位置

The report, tracking the well-being of 30,000 people in 13,000 households, found that young people in 2014 were more "serious" than in 2005.

其中tracking the well-being of 30,000 people in 13,000 households这句是不是独立分词结构做状语，它所处位置能在主动词 found 前主语后吗?

谢谢回答！

回答如下：

现在分词作状语，其位置除了可以放在句首，也还可以放在句中的.还可以放在句末

【1】现在分词放在句首作状语

Being ill, he didn’t attend the meeting.

改为状语从句=As he was ill, he didn't attend the meeting.

Hearing the news, they all jumped with joy.

【2】现在分词放在句中作状语

These boys, being hungry and tired, went home.

改为相对应从句为：These boys , who were hungry and tired, went home.

【3】现在分词放在句末作状语

The old man died, leaving his wife and his two children.

The students went away, laughing and running.

（特别备注：现在分词的逻辑主语就是句子的主语）

谢谢回答，但有人把分词短语看作是非限定定语修饰主语，所以是把它看作是状语还是定语更贴合实意？

继续回答

不可以看作为非限制性定语从句，原因是非限制性定语从句是一个有主语+谓语+其它结构的完整句子，很显然，现在分词短语，没有主语，也没有谓语，因此不能看作为非限制性定语从句，但是可以改为相对应的从句.

句中的 tracking the well-being of 30,000 people in 13,000 households 就是一个普通的现在分词短语，其逻辑主语是 the report。这样的分词短语放在“主语”与“谓语”之间的现象很正常。如：

Many of us, being so excited, could not go to sleep that night. 我们很多人是那样的激动，那天晚上都没有睡着。

Mr. Brown, having had a previous appointment, was unable to come to the party. 布朗先生已先与人有约了，所以无法来参加宴会。

The teacher, not having heard the chimes, kept on teaching. 老师没听到下课铃声，仍继续上课。
