英语中,句子(sentence)通常由好个子句子组成,这叫复合句(compound sentense), 由连词和子语句(Clause)、短语(Phase)、单词(Word)组成。
子句包含完整的主谓, 但短语没有主和谓, 有好多个phase组成。比较长度 Clause > Phase > Word, word很好区别。 短语是不完整的, 而子语句包含了完整的主谓(宾)。
Phrase: Meows so loudly
Clause: That cat meows so loudly
- She completely understood
everything he said
. 拆成主谓宾'She understood XXX', 'everything he said' 是宾语XXX, 是一个名词
- They remembered
what the keynote speaker covered
. 同上
- She fixed the sink
without facing difficulty
. 拆成主谓宾'She fixed XXX'。'without facing difficulty'修饰动词'fix', 是副词
- The pool was installed
after they built the deck
. 拆成主谓 'The poll was adj'。 'after they built the deck'是修饰形容词(或was), 是副词
- My friend
who rides a motorcycle
said it’s a great weekend to ride. 拆成主谓宾'XXX said XXX'。 'who rides a motorcycle' 形容词,形容'My Friend'
- No matter what time of day we visit, we always run into the dog
that barks
. 同上, 形容'dog'
子句当名词和形容词时,比较好看出子句的主谓(宾), 而当副词
- She runs
every Sunday
. 当副词
- She was
taller than all of her classmates
. 当形容词
My small dog
barks at ducks. 名词

yet 一直让我脑子转不过弯, 不知道怎么翻译成中文。例如歌名'Are you bored yet?', 没yet是‘你无聊吗?’。 当有yet时我以为翻译成’你还无聊吗?‘, 而结果翻译成‘你觉得无聊了吗?’
gptchat解释“yet表示提问者预期如此,也就是提问者预期被提问者无聊了。”, 所以正确理解应该是: “你应该无聊了吧?” 显然这里yet是副词,修饰bored。
any yet 但是
nor yet 也不 ; 又不 ; 也没有
but yet 但还是
not yet 还没
why is there yet another problem
Yet she 而她已经
Yet Moralistic 但注重道德
