英文大考常考題 - 30  [ what it feels like ]與[ how it feels ]

文法選擇

I really want to know ________.

(A) what it feels like to swim in the winter

(B) what it feels to swim in the winter

(C) what it feels swimming in the winter

(D) what it feels to swimming in the winter

這題答案是 (A)。 (龍騰文化英文月考王4 樹林高中試題 p.92)

這題的重點是如何區別[ what it feels like ]與[ how it feels ]：

1.   假如要回答含有[ feels like ]的問句，它的回答會在[ feels like ]後面接名詞。而[ what ]為句首的疑問句，要用名詞回答。符合這二個條件的間接疑問句，就是[ what it feels like to swim in the winter ]。

2.   假如要回答[ how ]為句首的疑問句，通常它的回答會接形容詞或是副詞。這題若是使用[ how ]，它的句子會是[ how it feels to swim in the winter ]。
