四.介词短语作形容词

好了, 现在让我们看一看怎么样把介词短语当作形容词来用. 比如有一句话:

The suitcase is under the seat. "小提箱是在座位底下", 还有另外一句话: The suitcase is red. "小提箱是红颜色的", 把这两话句并成一句, 我们可以这样说:

The suitcase under the seat is red. "座位底下的小提箱是红颜色的", 于是, 介词 短语 under the seat 是用来形容小提箱的.

下面我们要练习这类句子. 首先由老师念两个句子, 学生把两句并成一句, 听了 合并的句子以后, 请你跟着重复. 现在我们开始.

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.

M: The woman is Kate.

F: The woman in front of the door is Kate.
