        貌似连接副词放在句中和句尾,看上去更吊?会这么用的人不多啊

          分裂句 Cleft Sentences
          ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
          分裂句是将分句一分为二:一为主句,一为从句。
          分裂句在转换内容的重点时很有用,例如,可以比较一下
          □‘You stole the money'(你偷了钱)和
          □‘It was you who stole the money, not him'.(是你偷了钱,不是他)。
          例子 'It was me who broke the vase'(是我打烂了花瓶)是个由两个分句组成的分裂句。单一的分句会这样表达:'I broke the vase'(我打烂了花瓶)。
          A declarative sentence, such as David studied English at Oxford can be reformulated as:
          □ It was David who studied English at Oxford
          This is called a CLEFT SENTENCE because the original sentence has been divided (or "cleft") into two clauses:
          □ It was David and who studied English at Oxford.
          Cleft sentences focus on one constituent of the original sentence, placing it after it was (or it is).
          Here we have focussed on the Subject David, but we could also focus on the Direct Object English:
          □ It was English that David studied at Oxford
          or on the Adjunct at Oxford
          □ It was at Oxford that David studied English
          Cleft constructions, then, exhibit the pattern:
          ■ It + be + focus + clause

                如何分辨[不及物动词+介词短语]和[及物动词短语]?
                看看这个模棱两可的句子:
                They are tearing up the street.
                tear = 飞奔(这个定义有道找不到,可找 n词酷)
                tear up = 撕裂
                这个句子可以有两个含义:
                (1)他们在街上飞奔。
                (2)他们正在把街道撕裂。(烂翻译/修路工人正在施工......)
                辨别测试方法:
                (1)小品词(particle)移动测试:
                如果可以把小品词(particle/up)移到名词短语(NP/the street)的右边,就可以证实是动词短语的小品词:
                They are tearing the street up.
                → tear up 是动词短语
                (2)代词化(pronominalization)测试:
                用代词(it)取代名词短语(NP/the street),动词短语的小品词(particle/up)会自动移到代词右边:
                They are tearing it up.
                → tear up 是动词短语
                相对的,如果是介词+名词短语,则介词位置不变:
                They are tearing up it.
                这只有一个意思,他们在街上飞奔。
                → tear + up the street,tear up 不是动词短语
                (3)介词短语(PP)移动测试:
                如果小品词(particle/up)+ 名词短语(NP/the street)是个介词短语(PP),那整个介词短语作为一个完整的成分,可以移到句子前面:
                Up the street they tear.
                这只有一个意思:在街上,他们飞奔。

                  The dream he had had for so many years ended there.

                  他从过去的A点就开始有了这个梦想,这个梦想一直持续到过去的B点结束
                  表达一个状态(have a dream)从某一时间点持续到另一个时间点,用完成时 (have had)
                  几种可能的状况:
                  1.如果状态将持续,但以现在的时间为根据(到现在为止):
                  He has had the dream for many years.
                  2.如果状态的结束点在现在(从过去到现在):
                  He has had the dream for many years.
                  3.如果状态将持续,但以过去的某个时间为根据(到B点为止):
                  He had had the dreams for many years. (到B为止,他有了这个梦想很多年了)
                  4.如果状态的结束点在过去的某个时间(从之前A点到B点):
                  He had had the dreams for many years.
                  上面的句子属于第4种
                  B 点:his dream ended
                  A点至B点:he had had the dream (for many years)
                  ————————————————————————
                  为什么说 have a dream 是一种状态而不是动作呢?
                  表示一个持续的动作:have been + [现在分词]
                  表示一个持续的状态:have + [过去分词]
                  He is dreaming.
                  He has been dreaming.
                  dream 是个动态动词,可用进行时态表达
                  He has a dream.
                  He has had a dream.
                  have 是个状态/静态动词,不可用进行时态表达

                    Nowhere else will you find such a good book.
                    这是将辅助动词置于主语前的一种倒装句,
                    用于否定状语置于句子前作为强调的句型:
                    否定状语+辅助动词+主语+谓语
                    否定状语:Nowhere else
                    辅助动词+主语+动词:will you find
                    这种句子结构是相当正式的。

                        be + infinitive (例:to visit; to go; to do...) 用于:
                        1) 计划和安排(如正式的或官方的安排或计划):
                        The Prime Minister is to visit Thailand next month.
                        He is nervous because he is to go overseas for the first time.
                        2) 命令(如家长吩咐孩子做事):
                        You are to finish your homework before you play computer games.
                        He can go out and play, but he is to be back before dinner.
                        3) 条件(用在if从句,如果....发生了,......就会发生):
                        If you are to pass the exam, you have to work hard.
                        You'd better hurry if you are to get to work on time.

                          过去完成时态(had+过去分词)是提到两个过去的动作时,需要交代动作的前后,以免造成误解时才使用,如果没有理解上的问题,用一般过去时就可以了。
                          举个例子:
                          如果你想说: 那个人在救护车抵达前就死了。
                          The man had died when the ambulance arrived.
                          清楚交代那个人先死了(had died),救护车才抵达(arrived)
                          如果你两个动词都用一般过去时:
                          The man died when the ambulance arrived.
                          听起来意思是:那个人是当救护车抵达的时候死去的。
                          再看这个例子:
                          The man died before the ambulance arrived.
                          虽然两个动词都用一般过去时,但before让我们了解那个人是在救护车抵达之前死去的,
                          所以不需要用had died来表达;当然如果用 had died 也可以:
                          The man had died before the ambulance arrived.
                          两个句子都可以接受,因为没有理解上的问题。

                            The ___ man said he was not afraid of _____ before he ____.
                            A. dead, death, died B. dying, death, died
                            这道题的问题在于这个状语从句从句子结构上看可修饰动词 said 或 was
                            (1)如果状语从句修饰的是said,答案应该是dead:
                            The dead man (said) he was not afraid of death (before he died).
                            那个死人(在他死前)(说)他不怕死。
                            (2)如果状语从句修饰的是was,答案应该是dying:
                            The dying man said he (was) not afraid of death (before he died).
                            那个垂死中的人说(在他死前)他(是)不怕死的。
                            从含义上判断,显然状况(1)是比较合理的,所以 dead 是比较好的答案。

                              Time adverbs (like soon) and place adverbs (like here) are normally used as adjunct adverbials in predicates ("He is coming here soon"), but they they can also appear as postmodifiers in noun phrases ("The meeting here went well" or "A meeting soon might be a good idea") and as subject complements after linking verbs ("The meeting will be soon" or "The meeting will be here").
