Part II:语法学习
1.定语从句
示例:Byrd now knew that he would be able to reach the South Pole which was 300 miles away.定语从句部分可以简化:…the South Pole 300 miles away
2.主语从句
概念解释:主语从句,顾名思义,就是作主语的句子。需要注意的一点是:因为放在主语1的位置上的是个句子,所以,有时候会使得1有些头重的感觉,因此,经常会用it进行先行替代,而把从句放到后面。
示例:At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash.(it是形式上的主语,它替代了后面的主语从句)
