四.介詞短語作形容詞

好了, 現在讓我們看一看怎么樣把介詞短語當作形容詞來用. 比如有一句話:

The suitcase is under the seat. "小提箱是在座位底下", 還有另外一句話: The suitcase is red. "小提箱是紅顏色的", 把這兩話句并成一句, 我們可以這樣說:

The suitcase under the seat is red. "座位底下的小提箱是紅顏色的", 于是, 介詞 短語 under the seat 是用來形容小提箱的.

下面我們要練習這類句子. 首先由老師念兩個句子, 學生把兩句并成一句, 聽了 合并的句子以后, 請你跟著重復. 現在我們開始.

M: The suitcase is under the seat.

M: The suitcase is red.

F: The suitcase under the seat is red.

M: The woman is next to the children.

M: The woman is Susan.

F: The woman next to the children is Susan.

M: The package is under her arm.

M: The package is brown.

F: The package under her arm is brown.

M: The flag is over the airport.

M: The flag is red and blue.

F: The flag over the airport is red and blue.

M: The milk is in the glass.

M: The milk is cold.

F: The milk in the glass is cold.

M: The man is on top of the airport building.

M: The man is Henry.

F: The man on top of the airport building is Henry.

M: The woman is in front of the door.
