要點解析2:表示一個人的身高是另外一個人的幾倍,可以套用這個句型:Sb. is + 倍數詞+ someone’s size.
2. We could all have been murdered in our beds!
要點解析:劃線部分使用了虛擬語氣。Could have done表示對將來事情的主觀推測。
3. When they were all tired, they forced Oliver, who was still fighting and shouting, into the cellar and locked it.
要點解析:劃線部分為非線性定語從句,修飾先行詞Oliver,補充說明Oliver的行為。
4. They could hear Oliver banging and kicking at the cellar door.
要點解析:劃線部分的謂語結構是hear somebody doing something。Somebody的后面是現在分詞作其補足語。
