形容词作状语是否省略being的判断

1. A five year old boy, Tom can speak three languages

2. Extremely happy, Tom did not want to go to sleep

偶然拜读了曹老师在一个问题中的解答：曹老师您比较倾向于认为以上两句是省略了being的现在分词作状语

3. He died young

4. He died a rich man

曹老师您比较倾向于3和4句是名词或形容词作状语，并不是修饰谓语动词，而是表示主语在做谓语动作时所具有的身份或特征。

问题：我想知道该如何判断究竟是名词或形容词作状语还是像1句和2句那样省略掉了being的系表结构作状语？？

5. she quickly handed him the overcoat, anxious to be of service

6. Your friends comes to school very upset.

问题：5句和6句是名词或形容词作状语还是像1句和2句那样省略掉了being的系表结构作状语呢？

第一、二、五句中你可以加上being，句子仍然是正确的，只不过通常省略being。但第三、四、六句通常是不能加being的。

【1】A five- year- old boy, Tom can speak three languages.

=When he was a five-year-old boy, Tom can speak three languages.

备注：a five-year-old boy为名词短语作时间状语。

【2】Extremely happy, Tom did not want to go to sleep.

=Because he was extremely happy, Tom didn’t want to go to sleep.

备注：extremely happy为形容词短语作原因状语。

【3】He died young.=He was young when he died.

备注：young为形容词作状语，表示谓语动词动作发生时主语所处的一种状态。

【4】He died a rich man.=He was a rich man when he died.
