引導(dǎo)從句時(shí)用its與whose的區(qū)別
請(qǐng)下面這道題,逗號(hào)后面為什么用its而不用whose?
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
此題很容易誤選B,許多同學(xué)想當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為句中逗號(hào)后是一個(gè)非限制性的定語從句,whose 在定語從句中用作定語修飾其后的名詞 owner。此分析從表面上看,似乎天衣無縫,但實(shí)質(zhì)上是錯(cuò)的,原因是空格后根本不是一個(gè)句子,因?yàn)樗鼪]有謂語。盡管句中有兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞(seated 和 playing),但它們都是非謂語動(dòng)詞。也許有的同學(xué)會(huì)問,其中的 seated 不可用作謂語動(dòng)詞嗎?不能。因?yàn)閟eat 用作動(dòng)詞時(shí),它總是及物的,其后要么接賓語,要么它就用于被動(dòng)語態(tài),所以若在 seated 前加上助動(dòng)詞 is,則可以選擇B(當(dāng)然若將 seated 改為 sitting,也應(yīng)選擇B)。所以此題最佳答案選A。請(qǐng)?jiān)倏匆粋€(gè)類似的例子:
(1) He wrote a lot of novels, many of _____ translated into foreign languages.
A. it B. them C. which D. that
(2) He wrote a lot of novels, many of _____ were translated into foreign languages.
A. it B. them C. which D. that
第(1)題應(yīng)選B,而不能選C,是因?yàn)榫渲械?translated 是過去分詞(非謂語動(dòng)詞),若選C,則該從句無謂語;第(2)題應(yīng)選C,因?yàn)榫渲杏兄^語 were translated。再請(qǐng)看下面一例:
(3) He wrote a lot of novels, and many of _____ were translated into foreign languages.
A. it B. them C. which D. that
此題與上面的第(2)題不同,兩句間多了一個(gè)并列連詞and,說明這是一個(gè)并列句,故應(yīng)選B,則不能選C。
請(qǐng)做做以下三題(答案均為B):
(1) There I met several people, two of _____ being foreigners.
A. which B. them C. whom D. that
(2) There I met several people, two of _____ were foreigners.
A. which B. whom C. who D. that
(3) There I met several people, and two of _____ were foreigners.
A. which B. them C. whom D. that
