One afternoon when we were planting some flowers, I found that there were still some flowers left in the basket.
when不是引导定语从句修饰afternoon么?
追答不是!
One afternoon是时间状语。
One afternoon when we were planting some flowers, I found that there were still some flowers left in the basket.
可以写成:
One afternoon ,when we were planting some flowers, I found that there were still some flowers left in the basket.
这句的意思是:
”一天下午,当我们正在种花的时候,我发现篮子里还剩下了一些花。“
one afternoon 不是可以看作先行词 然后在when引导的从句中做时间状语么? 这句话也可以翻译成“一个我们正在种花的下午,我发现篮子里还剩下一些话”吧,加逗号就是非限制性的定语从句,是否为定语从句还是状语从句不是应该看从句在句子中的成分么
追答不应该那样看!因为:when we were planting some flowers是用来限定found的。如果按照你的那种分析,when we were planting some flowers这个句子就不要也是可以的。成:
One afternoon,I found that there were still some flowers left in the basket.
