日常小測驗:找出主語和限定動詞

Have you been putting the grammatical framework you built from Core Concepts of English to good use in your own learning?

Let’s try something fun today. ☺️ Can you find all the finite verbs and their corresponding subjects in the sentences below?

If you want to go one step further, can you point out where the clauses are?


你有沒有把《Core Concepts of English》裡建立的文法框架,應用到自己的英文學習之中?

今日不如試一個小小的練習。☺️

你可不可以在以下句子中,找出所有限定動詞,以及每個限定動詞對應的主語?

如果想再進一步,也可以試試指出每一個子句在哪裡。


  1. Mackenzie had not found the fabled Northwest Passage, which would have connected the lucrative fur trade in North America to markets in Asia, but he had come close.

  2. This comment annoyed Jefferson, who worried that the British claim might end up extending to territory he wanted for the United States.

  3. Living together in the White House, Jefferson and Lewis came to recognize each other as kindred spirits who shared the Enlightenment values of curiosity and precision.

(以上練習句子取材及改寫自 The New Yorker 一篇書評文章,並略作調整以配合這次文法分析練習。)
