介词+名词性从句
介词后面也能接名词性从句。从字面上来看,名词性从句也就是一个句子整体上做介词后面的名词成分。所以,只要我们能够抓住名词性从句的特征,就能一眼识别出来,从而迅速将复杂的句子变得简单。
我们要知道,引导名词性从句的引导词通常有what, who,why,where,how,when,if,whether等。其中, what、who和why后面只要接动词就可以成为名词性从句,而其他的引导词必须要加上主语和动词才能构成名词性从句。
There are differences in what you and Lily saw.
“in what you and Lily saw”就是介词+ 名词性从句的结构,因此,可以将它删去。这个句子就变成了There are differences.
