老師您好 To use a well-worn cliche, it is packed with information. 1 To use a well-worn cliché可還原為 if you could use a well-worn cliche to describe it ? 而could(能夠，一般用法)?
Whoever did was borrowing a tactic: find a direct channel to the sympathizers. Whoever did was borrowing a tactic: finding a direct channel to the sympathizers. Whoever did was borrowing a tactic: to find a direct channel to the sympathizers 2 Find, finding, to find在語意上及用法有何不同 謝謝老師
老師您好 Whoever did was borrowing a tactic: find a direct channel to the sympathizers. Whoever did was borrowing a tactic: finding a direct channel to the sympathizers. Whoever did was borrowing a tactic: to find a direct channel to the sympathizers a tactic跟find, to find, finding... 是同位格的關係 ? 謝謝老師
Speculation on the origin of these Pacific Islanders began as soon as outsiders encountered them; in the absence of solid linguistic, archaeological, and biological data, many fanciful and mutually exclusive theories were devised.
老師，as soon as這裏我想還原成比較級原始的兩句話，但不知道第一句是speculation began soon 還是 these Pacific Islanders began soon？ 請老師幫忙講解as soon as這裏原始的兩句話是什麼樣子
Perhaps it was because he was now so busy, what with Quidditch practice three evenings a week on top of all his homework, but Harry could hardly believe it when he realised that he'd already been at Hogwarts two months. 請問老師what的詞類是？ 還有這裏的it was… 是強調句嗎？
想向您請教兩個常見句子的文法結構與底層邏輯： 1. It's up to you. 2. It's down to you. 請問從您的文法體系來看： 1. 它們的文法句型應該如何拆解？（“up/down to you”在這裡是作為介繫詞片語當主詞補語嗎？） 2. 該如何精准理解這兩句的文法差異？句首的“It”是否為虛字（形式主詞），句尾是否隱含省略了真正的主詞（如不定詞 to do...）？
老師您好 The Southeast Asian front hasn't been shut down as much as temporarily shifted 1 hasn't been shut down的程度如果是100，那麼hasn't been temporarily shifted的程度也是100 ? (相同的程度) 2 意思是:既沒有 shut down，也沒有temporarily shifted ? 謝謝老師
老師您好 He is the pivotal voice in the Senate; where he goes, the balance of the Senate follows. where he goes, the balance of the Senate follows. 的意思是? 謝謝老師

文法都可以接受，意思也都差不多。find和to find可以說完全相同（前者就是後者省略掉to）。至於to find和finding，在這個上下文來說也沒什麼差別。

老師好。
回覆刪除1. 為何very歸類為加強語氣的副詞，so卻是程度副詞？This is so good.少了so意思沒差呀？
2. Luckily, we caught the last bus. 這裡的Luckily是分離副詞嗎？但看起來不是修飾動作的方式，請問這該怎麼解釋？
謝謝。
1
刪除so也可以用來加強語氣。但是，例如用在比較級not so ... as，這個so就只能說是程度副詞了。
2
是分離副詞。一般文法書說分離副詞是用來修飾整個句子的。

回覆刪除have to是次要的語氣助動詞，但是否定句卻還要加另一個助動詞do/does/did，這樣不就一個句子出現兩個助動詞，還是說這是特例？
說它是語氣助動詞，是因為它相當於must。但have的變化是普通動詞的變化。

請問老師what的詞類是？ 還有這裏的it was… 是強調句嗎？
謝謝老師
what with的意思和用法相當於partly with：「部分原因是…」。裏面應該有省略。what本來是代名詞類。it was不是加強語氣的分類句，因為後面沒有搭配關係子句that...。這個it只是沒有內容的虛字。

想向您請教兩個常見句子的文法結構與底層邏輯：
回覆刪除1. It's up to you.
2. It's down to you.
請問從您的文法體系來看：
1. 它們的文法句型應該如何拆解？（“up/down to you”在這裡是作為介繫詞片語當主詞補語嗎？）
2. 該如何精准理解這兩句的文法差異？句首的“It”是否為虛字（形式主詞），句尾是否隱含省略了真正的主詞（如不定詞 to do...）？
如果上文有it的先行詞，那麼it就是普通的代名詞當主詞使用。如果沒有，那麼it就是虛字，沒有內容，當假主詞使用。後面如果有to V...的話，it代表的內容就是to V。up/down to you是介系詞片語當主詞補語。其中up/down是介副詞，修飾to you。

老師好
回覆刪除over 70 square miles
over後接名詞為何是副詞，不是介系詞？
謝謝。
over用法與意思相當於more than，修飾限定詞70「超過70」，所以是副詞。像over the city「在城市上方」這種用法的over才是介系詞。

老師您好
回覆刪除The Southeast Asian front hasn't been shut down as much as temporarily shifted
1 hasn't been shut down的程度如果是100，那麼hasn't been temporarily shifted的程度也是100 ? (相同的程度)
2 意思是:既沒有 shut down，也沒有temporarily shifted ?
謝謝老師
這裏的邏輯關係是「小於」：not as much as（其中not在動詞片語hasn't been裏面）。所以，句子的意思是：「與其要說東南亞陣線被關閉了，不如說它是暫時轉移比較貼切。」

老師好
回覆刪除It didn’t look as though he’d cracked yet.
請問老師這句的句型是SVC嗎？老師書中有寫五種補語的詞類，沒有副詞類，那這為什麼副詞子句可以做補語呢？
謝謝老師
補語也可以是副詞，包括時間副詞、地方副詞、介副詞。這裏用副詞子句當補語，比較口語化，不是很正式的用法。
刪除旋
老師我想追問上面的問題
回覆刪除what with Quidditch practice three evenings a week on top of all his homework
老師說what with裏面有省略，是說what後面會省掉一個類似名詞子句那樣的結構嗎？老師可以舉一個例子，它可能省略的樣子是怎樣的嗎？
謝謝老師
這就無法查考了，只能當個片語記起來！
