第五、语法点拨
1. Noah, who was twice Oliver"s size, pretended to rub tears from his eyes.
要点解析1:划线部分为非线性定语从句,修饰先行词Noah,它补充说明Noah的个头。
要点解析2:表示一个人的身高是另外一个人的几倍,可以套用这个句型:Sb. is + 倍数词+ someone’s size.
2. We could all have been murdered in our beds!
要点解析:划线部分使用了虚拟语气。Could have done表示对将来事情的主观推测。
3. When they were all tired, they forced Oliver, who was still fighting and shouting, into the cellar and locked it.
要点解析:划线部分为非线性定语从句,修饰先行词Oliver,补充说明Oliver的行为。
4. They could hear Oliver banging and kicking at the cellar door.
要点解析:划线部分的谓语结构是hear somebody doing something。Somebody的后面是现在分词作其补足语。
