标题: 关于although的用法求助
OG 13 SC 74题正确选项D：
D.Although it covers the entire planet, Earth's crust is neither seamless nor stationary, but rather fragmented into mobile semirigid plates.

E. Although covering the entire planet, Earth has a crust that is not seamless or stationary, but fragmented into mobile semirigid plates.
看了OG 13 SC 74题D选项和E选项中解释的lthough的错误用法：
although is a conjunction and should be followed by a finite clause
although should be followed by a finite clause with a subject
想请问各位大牛，什么叫做finite clause,是限制性从句吗？
另外还想请教一下，although后面一定要跟完整的句子吗？还是说可以although + ving/ ved/adjective呢？

多谢！！！

求助各位大牛！别沉啊。。。

基本上finite clause是单独拿出来可以独立成句的从句，所以although + ving/ ved/adjective是不行的

不太同意
我还是觉得OG对于although+ving这种形式的搭配直接一棍子打死，但是although+ving的确出现在OG的官方正确答案中

所以although+ving这个点我觉得不能是死记硬背来排除的
although+ving这个形式是没有错的

但是看到省略的形式一定要马上去考虑逻辑主语

E选项逻辑主语是Earth，Earth不能去cover整个行星，只有尘埃才可以，这里是句意的分歧点（所以E就被排除了）
在这类although+ving所谓的状语从句省略上，我个人觉得OG的解释过于敷衍，与我们学习的语法知识有所出入吧，或者说排除得过于简单（仅仅因为idiom或相近的缘故）
考虑逻辑主语似乎是一种更有自信的做题方法

PS：个人看法

GMAT的语法是很奇怪，有的时候为了不产生歧义把好多正常的语法规则都禁止了，正常来说共用主语的情况是可以省的，不过我想不起来在GMAT里那次although + ving是对的. 另外很同意你说的“考虑逻辑主语似乎是一种更有自信的做题方法”

OG12例子：

35： Along with the drop in producerprices announced yesterday,the strong retail sales figures released today seem toindicate that the economy, although growing slowly,is not nearing arecession.

prep07：
17：Although unhappy with the high rent hercompany was paying for its suburban office building,
the chief executive recognized that rental rates for buildings in the suburbswere far lower than those typically charged for property located within the citylimits

28：Although eradicated in the United States,polio continues elsewhere and could be
brought into the country by visitors.

我记得有一题是although+ving作为正确选项的，一时半会想不起来了

prep07 28题就把although +VED作为了正确选项，是考察的划线部分！

其他两个例子都是未划线部分

GMAT SC没必要搬石头砸自己脚

所以还是觉得OG的解释有点欠妥当

恩恩，懂了，谢谢！！！

同意楼上的说法，我也是这题对although有疑问，的确在OG有的题目中although后是可以加分词的。所以不能一棍子打死，认为although后只能加完整句子。

说的是这个句子么？Although accounting for only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume 28 percent of its nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third 0f its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per capita than Europeans do.

逻辑主语似乎更有说服力。不能单单看although加完整句子这样的选项了。

补充一道OG11的题吧，although Ving也是对的。
With only 5 percent of the world's population,United States citizens consume 28 percent of its nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third 0f its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per capita than Europeans do.
AWith
BAs
CBeing
DDespite having
EAlthough accounting for
答案选E

艾玛，顶顶顶，快被although弄死了。有谁能帮忙解释一下，为什么OG 里 SC-14会说although后必须得有主谓啊？既然有那么多反驳它的例子

你不是13版的OG吧。。。
虽然13版OG有个IF也没主谓

这里用的好像是很高深的OMIT

我用的是12版的。我其实有搜到一个不错的帖子解释了这个，但是总觉得还是不能理解

although加分词是可以的，多为状语从句省略

忘记哪儿看到的了
although用法总结（from Ron）

1."although xxxx" 在句子之前：
• if "(al)though xxxx" PRECEDES the sentence, then "xxxx" can be either a complete sentence or an adjective/modifier.
e.g.,
(Al)though James has never been formally trained in medicine, he is able to identify a wide variety of maladies.
("although" + complete sentence; precedes the main sentence)
also see OG SC problem #39 (can't reproduce here)

(Al)though not formally trained in medicine, James is able to identify a wide variety of maladies.
("although" + adjective-type modifier; precedes the main sentence)
also see OG SC problem #48 (can't reproduce here)

2. "although xxxx" 在句子之中
if "(al)though xxxx" INTERRUPTS the sentence, then "xxxx" should be only a modifier. in this case, "xxxx" should NOT be a complete sentence.

^^ this is something i discovered just now. despite trying, i wasn't able to make a good sentence that's interrupted by "(al)though + complete sentence". i can't guarantee that this is a "rule", though i can vouch for it with a reasonable degree of certainty.

e.g.,
if the interruption follows a noun, then you should have a modifier that describes the noun (adjective-type modifier):
Paula, though exhausted, managed to stay awake through her son's entire piano recital.

if the interruption follows a verb, you should have a modifier that describes the verb (adverb-type modifier):
Audrey just admitted, though inadvertently, how she really feels about her mother-in-law.

also see OG SC problem #36 (can't reproduce here)

3."although xxxx" 在句子之后
• if "although xxxx" FOLLOWS the sentence, then "xxxx" should be a complete sentence. in this case, "xxxx" should not be a modifier/adjective.

(i assume this construction is familiar enough to make examples unnecessary. if you need examples, just say so in a response)

^^ this one is what's relevant to the particular problem at hand. as with the idea above, this is another incidental "discovery" that i can't %100 guarantee is actually a "rule".

--

and here's the weirdest discovery of all: if "though" (NOT "although") follows the sentence, it IS allowed to introduce a modifier.
in this case, the modifier should be an adverb-type modifier; in other words, it should describe the entire action that precedes it.

e.g.,
I wear swimsuits often, though never for actual swimming; I just lie out in the sun.

Though called a sea, the landlocked Caspian is actually the largest lake on Earth, covering more than four times the surface area of its closest rival in size, North American's Lake Superior.
