例:Who is the man that was invited to the ball? 受邀請(qǐng)參加那次舞會(huì)的人是誰(shuí)?
3 、在學(xué)習(xí)不定式作目的狀語(yǔ)時(shí),我們應(yīng)注意,不定式短語(yǔ)通?捎胹o that引導(dǎo)的目的狀語(yǔ)從句互換。
例:The doctor asked him to remove his trousers so that he could examine his legs.
The doctor asked him to remove his trousers in order to (so as to)examine his legs. 醫(yī)生請(qǐng)他把長(zhǎng)褲脫了,以便檢查他的雙腿。
4 、在it seems that/as if...句型中, seems ?梢杂蒷ooks, appears替換,looks后常接as if... 從句;appear之后常接that...從句。
例:①I(mǎi)t looks as if it is going to rain. 天看上去似乎要下雨了。
