形容詞子句

People (who work省略) working for large corporations …

子句:clause(含有主詞跟動詞) clause S + V

a smart boy 關係代名詞(關代) (adj) 先行詞(只有名詞) adj clause------(主格+V/所有格+n/受格(可省略)+S+V)

     只有人或物

如果先行詞是動詞,則是名詞子句,如I know that. I agree that.

  • 受格可以被省略,其他不行
  • 第三題the sports=主格,後面是名詞,因此是可以省略的
  • 第四題因為有介系詞在尾巴不動,因此可以省略或which或that
  • 但,如果移到前面,介系詞到前面當電燈泡,受格不能被省略掉,只能寫on which,不能寫that因為沒有on(介系詞) that。

考試考法

第一種

_____ for __(關係代名詞)__ 這裡一定是whom或which

  • 要看for前面到詞性,前面n是人就是whom;是物就是which

第二種

  • (人)n ____ whom graduated
  • (物)n____ which

  • 兩個都可以用,不過使用的語境不一樣,右邊是資訊已經夠清楚,因此逗點算補充說明,不用看沒有關係。

  • 左邊:代表我哥有一個住在日本的

  • 右邊:代表哥哥人數等於一

而右邊因為who 前面有逗點,所以that不能夠使用它。 當先行詞是單數,動詞+s;負數的話,動詞不加s

最上面是全寫的,會建議是湊數字用

最下面是建議最專業的寫法

  1. 2
  2. 1
  3. 4 2
  4. 3
  5. 3 4 這題很多人選錯,因為主要字是The book(subject1) (_(subject2) _(verb2)) is(verb) costly,所以他的句型可以找到兩個主詞兩個動詞,表示動詞已經結束,cover一定是名,因此這裡是所有格+n,因此是選擇whose(根據表一)
  6. 2
  7. 4 1 這裡最後是Listened(to),因此是to
  8. 2
  9. 3
  10. 2
  11. 1 3 後面省略了he lives in,所以是which
  12. 1
  13. 3 2 上次大範圍對小範圍,因此是consisting
  14. 1 2, 因為後面是is welcome,也就是說前面直接省略is了
  15. 2 (in which = where)
  16. 2 因為規則允許大眾做事,因此他是主動,所以是ing,不是ed
  17. 1 2 因為迷思是個大東西講述小故事(如果小故事講述迷思才會是被動),因此是ing
  18. 1 people對後面是複數的
  19. 1

P114

  1. The editor whom I am replacing has accepted a position in our downtown London office.
  2. Due to budget cuts, they received only 50% of what they had expected from the gov. 因為of 是prep+N clause,因此前面是what.
  3. promote 應該要用 applicants,而不是contestant
  4. At yesterday’s meeting, Lee was asked(因為沒有動詞,不能是asked) to head the conference committee after successfully organizing several other important company events.

連接詞&連接性副詞Conjunction

縮寫:conj

They had to postpone the meeting with the client, ___(for)____ Mr.Tan’s plane was late.

S   V                   對等連接詞  S V 選項:

  • although 從屬連接詞
  • however 連接性副詞
  • for 對等連接詞
  • because 從屬連接詞

對等連接詞

FAN BOYS

  1. FANBOYS 對等連接詞的for也是因為,最大的差別就是for前面一定有逗點,如前面範例題目。 只要FANBOYS在句首,就殺掉。
  2. 從屬連接詞 下面紫色字的意思是說,我英文不能寫Because I was sick. 就句點了 英文不會寫因為…所以:假設因為我生病,所以我要去看醫生
    • O: Because I was sick, I went to see a doctor.

    • O: I was sick, so I went to see a doctor.

    • X: Because I was sick, so I went to see a doctor - 英文「因為、所以」不會接在一起

  • In spite of 後面不會有動詞,因此不會是In spite of she has worked very hard during the past year, Ms. Gomes has still failed to get a promotion.,而是although

  • 英文只有in spite of跟despite(沒有of),所以多一字少一字都是錯誤。

  • Consequently可以在句首,但後面要接逗點

Since = Because Despite his joining the group late, his manager is confident that he will fit right in. 因為late是形容詞,沒動詞,因此Even though殺掉

Although she has been working here for a while now, she isn’t friendly with the other people in the office. 有動詞,所以是although,而不是Despite
