SentenceStructureProblems
英语句子是受严格的语法规则制约的,在写作中如果违背这些规则,
那么写出的句子就会使人无法理解,或引起歧义。要想避免发生这

Itwas difficulttodecide whether toreturntoschoolortoaccept
thejob.
Directions:Try torevise the following fragments inoneormorethan
句子片断。尽管残缺句在形式上像句子一样是以大写字母开头,
并在结尾处带有标点,然而在逻辑上并不能单独表达一个完整
的意思,仅是一组词而已。请看下列句子:
FragmentWonderingwhathissonwas goingtodo.
RevisedSentenceMr.Smith had beenwonderingwhathisson was
going to do.

修饰语是句子结构中最常见的错误。我将对这些问题逐一进行分析,
以帮助大家弄清写作中出现这些问题的原因,并掌握纠正错误的方法
残缺句(SentenceFragments)
所谓残缺句,顾名思义,就是指不能独立成句的一个不完整的
Fragments

lemons,oranges,and grapefruit.
Having nomoneyand beinglonelyin thebigcity.
Itwas difficultto decide. whichchoice to make.Toreturntoschoolor toaccept thejob.

I lookforwardtoholidays,for example,Thanksgivingand
Christmas.
2)把残缺句扩展到主句中,或通过添加或减少某些成分。把残缺
改写为独立、完整的句子。例如:
Heenjoysflowers andshrubs,which help screenhis yard
from the street.

He enjoys flowersandshrubs.Theyhelp screen hisyardfrom
thestreet.
在写作中要经常检查句子的残缺问题,特别要注意那些以从属

短的问句中。因此在写句子时要特别注意。
改写残缺句主要有以下两种方法:
1将句中用的句号变成逗号,或把分隔开的短语或从句同它所属
的句子合并成一个能表达完整意思的句子。例如:
ents
Since there isa lackofinterest.There is a great lackof information.
连词或短语等开头的句子,这些词都是“危险词”。要确定以这
些词开始的每个从句,都应附属于一个独立的句子。
避免残缺句的最好办法是注意区别句子和句子的一部分。我们
知道句子的最基本特点是在语法和逻辑上是一个完整的意义表

在句中作为谓语单独使用,除非是在如Wheretogo tonight?简
