請益幾題英文文法

Let's see...

1.
關鍵字 different傳統上配合from 不過也有不少美國人用than(雖然名門字典還是對這種用法皺眉頭) 妙的是英國人還用to哩!
所以本題選 2或4

2.
答題關鍵是形容詞子句 [that expects...parents.]

還原後: A new generation expects a very different workplace from the workplace of their parents. 這種對比的句子很講究比較的雙方格式及內容要對稱

從內容先看 本句比較的是 (a) the workplace of a new generation, (b) the workplace of their parents

從形式上看 (b)項與(a)重複的用字可以改成代替字 但是在這種情況用的多半是that 來代替the workplace 而不是the one 例如: My income this month is higher than that of last month.

本題只好選3 放棄2

3.
從句意可以理解說話者悔不當初 希望[當初]有聽對方的意見 [當初] 就是過去式 正常的句子就寫: I followed your advice. 但是我並沒有聽話 這時候的但願 if only要接假設語法 had followed
would follow其實是現在時間的假設動詞哦

4.
有兩種說法 (a)thirteen-month (b)thirteen months'

答案是2

如果沒有逗號後面的同位語, 句子可以還原到一般的結構: The city of Kaohsiung lies in the southwest of Taiwan.

方位的字 像是 southwest, northwest, southeast, northeast 兼具名詞, 形容詞, 副詞的功能

原句 in the southwest of Taiwan 當中是當作名詞
改成 in southwest Taiwan 是當作形容詞
