If we did that,we would take better advantage of it.可以理解这是表示与将来事实相反的虚拟条件句。句子没有问题。但这个if从句不可以省略主语。状语从句的省略并不是仅仅省略主语,而是省略主语+动词be, 或者 从句简化为连词+非谓语动词/介词短语/形容词等形式,不可以为连词+限定动词。此外,虚拟条件句是不作这种省...

an announcement spurred by multiple coyote attacks and encounters in recent weeks 这是一个名词短语,对前面句子内容作补充说明或解释。传统语法分析为句子同位语。即名词作前面句子的同位语。现代语法《剑桥英语语法》称其为补充语supplement,名词词组对前面句子作补充、说明。

If I was to do sth, 这是be to do表示将来, 即将来时间表示法之一。当用be的过去式代替am, is, are 表示将来,则为虚拟语气。正式语体在if 从句用were to do, 非正式语体中,如果主语为第一或第三人称单数,常用was代替were, 你们来是就是用was 代替 were了。

我回答你的第一个问题。为什么 see sb doing sth要分析为现在分词作宾补,而不是动名词复合结构作宾语。这和动词的语义和用法有关。see后接复合宾语,是指用肉眼直接感知的生理感觉。see 可以用人作直接宾语,例如 I saw him. 当你不能用动名词作直接宾语,不能说 I saw going into the shop. 动名词复合结构本质上还是一个...

He is not what he was a few years ago.你可以理解what=the person that, 注意这里不能用who。因为the person在此为归属性表语,表示的是一种属性,即一个人的素质、素养、习惯、爱好等。即实际上what= the kind of person that, that的先行词是kind,而不是person。也就是说主句的表语不是具体某个人,而是某个人的素养、...
