文法–形容詞子句 (7) 省略關係代名詞

在停課期間，老師有提供線上教學(網路教學)，授課的教本包括三民、翰林與龍騰。現在有15位同學，若有興趣請留言與老師連絡。

關係子句在下列情況可以省略關係代名詞：

a)   關係代名詞是受詞的時候(第1~7個例子)。

      但關係代名詞前面有介系詞的時候不能省略(第8個例子)。

b)   關係代名詞是補語的時候(第9, 17個例子)。

c)   關係代名詞是主詞，後面+ be verb的時候(第10~13, 15, 16個例子)。

d)  關係代名詞是主詞的時候，其後的動作是主動，可將主詞省略，但動詞要變成現在分詞(verb-ing) (第14, 18個例子)。若其後的動作是被動，也可將主詞省略，但動詞要變成過去分詞(p.p.) (第19個例子)。

e)   關係子句是否定的時候，如何省略，請參考第18個例子。
