是定语从句还是独立主格
请看下面一道题:是考查定语从句,还是考查独立主格结构?
Not far from the school there was a garden, _____ owner seated in it playing chess with his little grandson every afternoon.
A. its B. whose C. which D. that
剖析:此题比较容易误选B,很多同掌握觉得句中逗号后是一个非限制性的定语从句,whose 在定语从句中用作定语修饰其后的名词 owner。此剖析从表面上看,好像天衣无缝,但实质上是错的,缘由是空格后根本不是一个句子,由于没谓语。尽管句中有两个动词,但它们都是非谓语动词。或许有些同学觉得,其中的 seated 可视为谓语动词,但注意,seat 用作动词时,它一直及物的,其后要么接宾语,要么它就用于被动语态,所以若在 seated 前加上助动词 is,则可以选择B(当然若将 seated 改为 sitting,也应选择B)。所以此题最好答案选A。请再看一个类似的例子:
He wrote a lot of novels, many of _____ translated into foreign languages.
A. it B. them C. which D. that
He wrote a lot of novels, many of _____ were translated into foreign languages.
A. it B. them C. which D. that
第应选B,而不可以选C,是由于句中的 translated 是过去分词,若选C,则该从句无谓语;第应选C,由于句中有谓语 were translated。再请看下面一例:
He wrote a lot of novels, and many of _____ were translated into foreign languages.
A. it B. them C. which D. that
此题与上面的第题不同,两句间多了一个并列连词and,说明这是一个并列句,故应选B,则不可以选C。
请做做以下三题:
There I met several people, two of _____ being foreigners.
A. which B. themC. whomD. that
There I met several people, two of _____ were foreigners.
A. which B. whom C. whoD. that
There I met several people, and two of _____ were foreigners.
