2: in the way 省了 連接詞
3:On June 20, 1676, the governing council of Charlestown, Massachusetts, held a meeting to determine how best express thanks for the good future that had seen their community securely established.
1: future 做無靈主語
4: On the face of it that seems to make sense. But the figures don't add up.
1:此句里的 it 和 that 之間是否要加個逗號呢?否則,語法層面無法解釋清楚。答案是應(yīng)該加,但使用習(xí)慣了,省略丟棄了逗號不能算錯,反倒是成了主流。
5: The little girl is wearing her shoes the wrong way round.
1:此句里的 the way 之前沒有介詞,原因是被省略了。原本應(yīng)該是 on the wrong way round.
