Li Ming, you have many friends who speak English. 本句中的 who speak English 是一个由关系代词 who 引导的定语 从句, 用来修饰名词 friends. 注意定语从句的谓语动词要和所修 饰的名词或代词保持人称和数的一致。如果把 many friends 换 成 a friend, 此句则变成： Li Ming, you have a friend who speaks English. 当定语从句修饰的是 “ 人 ” 的时候，其关系代词是 who 或 that ； 当定语从句修饰的是 “ 物 ” 的时候，其关系代词是 which 或 that. eg: I know the man who / that is standing at the door. Are you reading the book which / that you bought yesterday?

10. Step 5: Key words and sentences 2. Is it hard to understand your friends when they speak english? 在此句中,it 是形式主语, 动词不定式 to understand your friends 是真正的主语后置。在英语中为使句子保持平衡，常 用 it 作形式主语，动词不定式短语放在后面。 eg: To be careful in the street is necessary. = It is necessary to be careful in the street. 3. If so, what can you ask them to do? if so 和 if not 可用来代替完整的句子。 eg: --I’m afraid it’s going to rain. --If so, we have to stay at home. --Does anybody want to go with you? --If not, I will go alone.
