插入语主要用来表示说话人对句中所陈述内容的态度、语气或附加说明。它在句中的位置灵活、可位于句首或句尾,通常用逗号同句子的其他成分隔开。插入语和句子的其他成分关系不十分密切,无语法上的明确关系。但它不能离开句子而单独存在。高中英语课本中多次出现了各种形式的插入语,现将它的几种表现形式归纳如下。
一、现在分词短语作插入语
常用的现在分词短语有judging from/by(根据……来判断),generally/strictly/frankly/exactly speaking(一般/严格/坦率/确切地说)等,通常位于句首,表明说话人的态度、立场和观点。如:

常用的副词有however(然而),besides(此外), generally(一般地说),personally(就个人来说), briefly(简单地),honestly(说真的),obviously(显然),frankly(坦率地),surprisingly(令人惊奇的是)等。这些副词通常位于句首,用逗号隔开,表明说话人的态度或意见。如:

三、形容词短语作插入语
常用的形容词短语有strange enough(真奇怪), worse still(更糟的是),sure enough(果然),most important(重要的是)等。一般位于句首,表示说话人对整句话的态度。如:
