定语从句I prefer music that has great lyrics.I love music that I can sing along with.I like music that I can dance to.. Role-play1. Hmm, depends which movie.1) 本句省略了depends前的主语it和which movie后的从句部分we’ll watch,这是典型的口语表达形式。
在口语和非正式场合,为保持语言简洁明了,交流者往往会省略彼此所知或逻辑上可明确推断的内容。
例如:Anything I can do for you?我能为您做些什么吗?(省略句首部分Is there)Please hand me one of those books; I don’t care which. 请把那些书递给我一本,不管哪本都行。
(省略句尾部分you hand me)2) It depends (on) who/ what/ how/ whether…是一个常见句型。
当depend后接疑问词及含有疑问词的短语和从句时,口语中会省略depend后的介词on,以求话语简练。
例如:It depends what day you catch me, and at what time of day.这取决于你哪天见我,以及见我的时间。
Well, as for this matter, I can’t decide for now. Depends whether or not your dad will say yes. 嗯,这件事我现在决定不了,取决于你老爸是否会同意。
2. I just want to laugh and not think too much.这句话中的to laugh和not think too much均为动词不定式,但后者在not和think之间省略了to。

再如:She likes to sing, dance and hang out with her friends.她喜欢唱歌、跳舞、与朋友们外出消遣。
3. I prefer music that has great lyrics.句中的prefer意为“更喜爱;更喜欢”,后可接名词、v.-ing形式或动词不定式。
