小曼說: And then 字開頭的句子小說裏很多。。。 到底要不要模仿?
答:有時會發生這樣的情況,如果前一句後麵再加個and引導的句子那麽前麵這個句子就會顯得太長,太臃腫,有拖遝感;如果重新設一句,本該用and的這個小句子跟前麵那句又會有脫離感,因此,就用大寫的And開頭,另設一句。這是現代英語的用法。很多現代小說裏都有。
小曼說:“Since the news arrived nearly tow months ago, It seems that all I have done is get ready”到底是表語從句還是要在前麵加To?
答:這不是病句。由all,what等開頭的從句做主語,表語裏的這個to可省略。比如:
All I did is (to) help you.
What the machine does is (to) cut grass.
"One more thing you need to do to become a Canadian is paint up and powder up and go bad!"也是屬於這種情況。
