·課文
????My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England. He had often dreamed of retiring in Englandand had planned to settle down in the country. He had no sooner returned than he bought a fine house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was more than he could bear. He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had for so many years ended there. Harrison had thought of everything except the weather.

·知識拓展
分析主謂
1. 先找謂語動詞 2.再找對應的主語 3.看連詞,關(guān)系詞
The dream he had had for so many years ended there.
????·第一個謂語 had had,搭配主語 he
????·第二個謂語 ended,與它搭配主語是 The dream
????·The dream ended there?是主語,he had had for so many years 是 the dream 的定語,所以下次遇到這種形式,主 主 謂?謂,中間的句子就是從句,這句話是定語從句
She knew she was near the shore.
????·主 謂?主 謂,后面的是從句,因為主句,主語 She knew____,缺東西,也就是缺賓語,這句話是賓語從句
練習
The present she gave me was very amazing.
1.先找出謂語
????·The present she gave me was very amazing.
2.再找主語
? ? ·The present?she?gave?me?was?very amazing.
3.找連接詞,連接詞被省略了,開始分析句子,The present 主語,she 主語 gave 謂語 was 謂語,如果看的多了就一眼能看出它是定語從句,看不出就采用 主?主 謂?謂的經(jīng)驗,中間的一定是從句,具體是什么從句就要看從句前面的那個詞語,本句話中主語 The preset,禮物,名詞,she gave me,她給我的,限定禮物的范圍,定語,所以是定語從句
... the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen.
1. 先找謂語
????·... the girl struggled up the cliff towards the?light she had seen.
2. 再找主語
? ? ·... the girl?struggled?up?the cliff towards the?light she?had?seen.
3. 最后找連接詞,連接詞被省略了,開始分析句子,主 謂 主 謂,所以前面的是主句,后面的是從句,這是通過上面總結(jié)的公式來找到,我們看這個句子?the girl?struggled?up?the cliff towards the?light 主句完整,不缺成分?she?had?seen,從句不完整,缺個賓語,往前看,與它相連的是 the light,she?had?seen the light,她看到過的燈,限定范圍,所以是定語,且 the light 做從句的賓語,所以可以省關(guān)系詞。這句話是定語從句
?看的多,斷開的多了,就會很容易的看懂一句話了
