Europeans did not know of them until the 1500s,when Portuguese ships arrived on the coast of what is now Sierra Leone.
这句话,为什么what is now Sierra Leone是疑问语序,它是of的宾语从句吗?
疑问句是因为有时间状语now,所以主语后置了
追问when Portuguese ships arrived on the coast of what is now Sierra Leone.
可以直接写成这样
when Portuguese ships arrived on the coast of Sierra Leone
这种形式吗?
不然的话不知道他为什么要用宾语从句
可以,他这么写是强调now,原话的意思表明原来海岸很可能不叫做SL,而现在的名字是这样,您改过之后体现不出来
如果没有疑问望采纳,谢谢
