句首动名词作主语和动词原形

For instance, suppose a company is primarily engaged in the financial sector, do the principles they adhere to in investment decisions indeed contribute to the development of low-carbon industries?

Or taking a manufacturing company for another example, does it take a low-carbon goal into consideration in its decision-making concerning energy consumption.

请问老师，两句中的suppose和taking,为什么一个是动词原形，一个是动名词？谢谢老师

For instance, suppose a company is primarily engaged in the financial sector, do the principles they adhere to in investment decisions indeed contribute to the development of low-carbon industries?

Or taking a manufacturing company for another example, does it take a low-carbon goal into consideration in its decision-making concerning energy consumption.

第一句是用 suppose 这个词的祈使句，表示条件，相当于连词 if。人们还用其现在分词supposing 表示条件。

前者用原形似乎讲不通，建议把这个 suppose 改为连词，同时具有两种词性。免得节外生枝。

后者为现在分词变来的连词，可以讲得通。英语中有好几个分词连词。

第二句是用分词短语，表示条件或时间。这是很正常的用法。相当于从句 if/when we take a manufacturing company for another example.
