ing分词结构“asking for work”作状语还是作补语见仁见智!其实这种句型用法并不少见,前面可以加逗号,也可以不加逗号(你的这句没有逗号)。而且用to ask也是对的,不定式表目的,这就很明显了。举些例子看看:1.Wingate wrote to his father, asking for more money.(Longman Dictionary of Common Errors1996) 这一句有...

“马远兵”网友问出了一个很好的问题。“刘三木”网友提供的这个网页上的例子以前我也看过,我说说我的看法:1.My brother, who claimed to have a limp, sprinted after the bus. (This clause is not required to identify "My brother." It is just additional information.)这句蕴含的意思可能是“我”就只有一个兄弟。2.My br...

简单说一下:这是2020年3月21日的一期“The Economist”上的,写成这样应该看的明白:With people (being)wary of confined spaces—and country after country imposing travel bans—passenger numbers have nosedived, and with them airline revenues (nosedived).破折号里面的是为了补充前面的分句的,分析句子的时候...

既然你已经看过P1110的内容,想必也知道than后面的是个形式主语it的从句部分省略罢了,此时当然用单数形式,不多说。要写成appear也是可以的(appear这个词除了用形式主语it也可以用名词作主语),只是比较对象不要省略,即they,改成:The difficulties are even greater than they appear (to be) at first sight. 就可以...

章振邦著作“新编高级英语语法”第556页列举了ing分词作状语表让步有两种情况:带从属连词和不带从属连词。只是章振邦并没有提及这两种情况是否有区别?Curme在其著作“Syntax(A grammar of the English Language v3 )”第177页稍微提了这两者的区别:Sometimes the conjunction employed in the full subordinate clause is us...

没有上下文很难确定咋回事,你这个句子是被替换过的,还好能找到原出处,有两处:1.He thus conveyed the first principle of a successful apology. It must be direct. You must never pretend to be doing something else in the name of apology. Some people apologise while leafing through a sheaf of correspond...

我在剑桥语法上找了,并没有找到你说的这个说法,也可能是我找的不仔细。倒是在Quirk的书上找到他的说法,在10.24节,你可以看看。如果真要说“静态动词不能和目的状语搭配”那至少要把Stance这一类动词排除在静态动词的范畴里面。这里面有个动词的“体”如何分类的问题,我罗嗦几句:最早进行分类的是Zeno Vendler在1967年的一...

印出如此错误的句子真是害人不浅!不知道这句是怎么来的!原句是:And it is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase. it应该是指代前文中提到的某物。

好问题!你提到的这种类似的句子还不少,在小说中很常见。我说一下我的看法,可能不正确,算是给出一个理解的思路。“Singora, you are lovelier than the heroines of ancient times!" he cried, with what he thought was his most winning smile.(书名为“Barchester Towers”)可以把he thought 理解为插入语,直接拿掉后...
