如果說含有關係子句的主要子句是個簡單不複雜的句子，如
“He tore up my photo, which upset me.” 是很容易安排次序。
如果主詞出現了4個直接、間接的形容詞來修飾，就會產生排序問題。
• 4 message units：
(1) there are now three options
(2) for direct flights
(3) between Vancouver and Hong Kong
(4) which means finding bargain airfares is much easier

1. 主要資訊 - 一定是句子核心 (core)
2. 補語 受詞或主要相關資訊 優先於修飾語
3. 修飾語間，有其約定俗成的優先次序 :
- 地點, 時間
- 數量, 大小, 顏色其它修飾等

When an adverb clause begins the sentence use a
comma to separate the two clauses.

When the adverb clause finishes the sentence there
is no need for a comma.
He gave me a call when he arrived in town.

of development in a process.

Participial Phrases
分詞片語
Participle - a word formed from a verb and
used as an adjective to modify nouns.
A participle often appears with additional
words that adds details to it.
Present participle: V - ing
Past participle: V –ed
Verbs
Present participles
The custom fascinates me.

the park.
Verbs
Past participles

The car was just cleaned.
The burned steak tasted
terrible.
The cleaned car looks new.
Together, the participle and the additional
words form a “participial phrase”, such as
noisily burping, circled by the hungry sharks,
waving at the TV camera…
• participles + other modifiers;
• used to modify nouns and pronouns.
Examples:
• In his movie, Arnold Schwarzenegger uses his
muscles more readily than his brain.
• In his movie, Arnold Schwarzenegger uses his
muscles more readily than his brain, chopping off
barbarians’ heads with his gigantic sword in another.
Using participial phrases to suggest relationships
Participial phrases not only wake up your sentences but also
suggest time or cause-result relationship.
Participial phrases suggest such relationship less directly than
clauses beginning with terms like “because”, “thus”, “therefore”,
and “as a result.”
Example:
Because many actors glared directly at the camera and did not blink
for long periods of time, they started to have eye problems several
years later.
Glaring directly at the camera and did not blink for long
periods of time, many actors started to have eye problems
several years later.
More examples:

negative perception of the war. Therefore, they suffered severe
mental problems when they returned to civilian life.

modifies.

position to another in a sentence – before the main
clause, after it, in the middle of it.

comic hidden behind his bulky biology textbook.

happened before the main action of the sentence, the
participial phrase will precede that main action.

computerized cash registers are now installed in about 85
percent of all china stores.
If the participial phrase describes something that happened after the main action of
the sentence, the participial phrase will follow that main action.

small wooden box.
