有一读者问: 有这样一句话:
(1)I remember the many times she tried to spell words into my small hand.
she tried to spell words into my small hand是什么从句?请介绍一下time后接从句的用法。
the many times后省去了when或that,故而she tried to spell words into my small hand是一个省去关系副词when或that的定语从句,用以修饰the many times。这种修饰time的定语从句并不罕见,再如:
(2)It's time we left. (time后省去了that)
(3)I shall never forget the short time when I have been there. (这里未省去when)
(4)You were in a hurry the last time I met you.(time后省去了that或when)
(5)It was raining the day I started.(the day之后省去了that或when)
