subject : EU probe likely to end after Microsoft offers browser ballot
(v) (a)
** (adv) and (a) modify (v)「vi,vt」
(問題): 不確定 likely 的詞性是 (a) 還是 (v) 以及 end 詞性是 (a) 還是 (v) , 還是說 likely to 這裡當片語用?
context:
The European Commission has announced plans to begin testing the browser ballot proposed in July by Microsoft,
現在完成式 (S+have/has+過去分詞 )
(1) 「 The European Commission」 is a third person >>> planS (v)
(2) planS (v) , begin is a (v) , 加了to 在planS 和 begin 之間,to之後的begin 要為原形v,
(3) begin (v) , test (v) >>> 可以二種方式表達 begin testing 或 begin to test
句子可以變成「The European Commission has announced plans to begin to test ......」
但是太多to了,所以原句的表達比較好
(4) proposed (a) modify ballot (n) >>> (a) 形容詞用來修飾 (a) 或 (n)
(5) in July >>> Prepositional Phrase(介系詞片語)
(6) 句型三 : S + Vt + O 且為 現在完成式
S: The European Commission ..........
V: has
O:has ... 之後的句子
a sign that the Commission's investigation into the software giant's bundling of Internet Explorer with Windows may be coming to an end
(1) a sign >> antecedent 先行詞
(2) that >> Relative Pronoun 關係代名詞
(3) that .......... >> (a) 子句, 修飾 a sign (n)
(4) that .... ( that之後所帶的子句為句型二S+vi+S.C)
(4-1). S >> the Commission's ........with Windows
V >> may (助v) be (v)
S.C >> coming to an end
(4-2). the Commission's........with Windows 再逐項分析。
(a) into the software giant's bundling of Internet Explorer with Windows >>> Prepositional Phrase , 當(a) 用,修飾 the Commission's
(b) of Internet Explorer with Windows >>> Prepositional Phrase 當(a) 用,修飾 the Commission's investigation 」
(c) with Windows >>> Prepositional Phrase 當(a) 用,修飾 the software giant's bundling of Internet Explorer ,然後with windows 是指在Windows裡面」
主詞很長,但都由很多的修飾字/片語組成
