句型：
Sb is not told about..
沒有人告知某人某事。
語法透視：
1.All I was told about was that my father had made a suitable match.
I was told about是定語從句，先行詞是不定代詞all，all是做定語從句中的介詞about的賓語。關(guān)系代詞只能用that，不能用which，且that可以省略。
2.You'd better not stay!
Had better在句子中做謂語的話，用于肯定句中，改為否定句的話直接在better的后面加上否定詞not即可。
3.So was her mother.
這是倒裝句。如果句中有so這個詞，要將其句子進(jìn)行倒裝，so放于句首，后面緊跟系動詞，然后再接主語。
