省略 THAT

記住一個原則: 名詞子句前面的that可省略.
同時記住: 關代that, 作為受詞才可省略.

(1) Intended for pregnant women, this meal contains several nutrients that
they require, such as protein, calcium, and vitamin A.

這個that可省略, 因為它是當受詞的關代.

(2) The manager intended to complete the project early, and she was sure
that things would turn out as she had planned.

這個that可省略, 因為它後面是名詞子句.

(3) Jerry had a car accident on his way to school. He didn't arrive at the time
that he had intended.

這個that可省略, 因為它是當受詞的關代.

(4) The professor believes that the principal goal of art is to stimulate creativity
rather than to imitate other works.

這個that可省略, 因為它後面是名詞子句.

(5) The principal reason why I bought this car is that it is inexpensive and reliable.

這個that可省略, 因為它後面是名詞子句(主詞補語).


(6) The girl was so exceptional that she solved the complicated crossword
puzzle in seconds.

這個that不可省略, 因為它後面是副詞子句.


(7) In addition to the fact that seafood plays an important part in our
daily diet, we also rely on sea transportation for trading.

這個that可省略, 因為它後面是名詞子句(同位語子句).


(8) The plank boats that they used to sail are now being replaced with
engine-powered rafts.

這個that可省略, 因為它是當受詞的關代.
