首先,where to find him 并不是名词短语,而是一个带疑问词的不定式短语。这种不定式短语实际上是名词性疑问分句的一种简略,相当于一个名词性疑问分句。通常不定式的逻辑主语在句子中出现,例如 I don't know what to say. = I don't know what I should/can say. 但有时在语境明确的情况下,不定式的逻辑主语可以不在句...

主语和表语的数并非必须一致。species 单数和复数形式相同,在生物学上表示一个物种,在本句中为单数。thrushes是一个受保护的物种。单数名词泛指,自然要用不定冠词了。

1 你的第一句修改如下:This's the only thing that is worth my striving for. worth在表语位置为介词,后接动名词为悬空动名词,即动名词为主动意义,主语在逻辑上是动名词或动名词短语中的介词的宾语。 2 worthy 作表语,后接of介词短语或不定式作形容词补足语,但无论是不定式还是 of +动名词,都不能用悬空结构。所以...

that 引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词situations。由于定语从句和先行词之间插入了like介词短语,逗号是分隔like介词短语的。如果去掉like介词短语,则that从句前的逗号就消失了。例如:What are we to do, then, when confronted with situations that require us to take a personal stake?

COCA 语料库有这样的例句,即 a lie 后接同位语从句。In all the books and manuscripts kept in Alexandria and Rome there was absolutely no reference to the wife of Jesus. So the papyrus fragment is fabricated, manipulated and concocted. Dan Brown also scandalized Jesus in his book, The Da vinci Code. Da...

COCA语料库有4000多个after having done sth的例句。这能否让你接受after后接动名词可以用完成体。学习语法是要理解其原则,不是记忆语法书的条条框框。语法书告诉你动名词的完成体形式having done表示动名词的动作先于谓语动作已经发生并结束。但非正式语体通常用doing 代替having done。after doing 和 after having done...

all other factors being equal 为独立主格结构。独立主格结构作状语本质上其实就是分词短语作状语,只不过分词带了自己的逻辑主语而已。如果分词作状语可以位于句首、句末、句中一样,独立主格结构作状语也可以位于句首、句末或句中。但本句独立主格结构修饰的是since从句中的谓语动词,不可以放在since之前。如果放在句末...

all the data in the Library of Congress being produced more than 166,000 times per 24-hour period. 这是动名词复合结构作介词of的宾语。being produced为动名词,前面部分为动名词的逻辑主语。
