Ellipsis (省略)
为了使语言简洁或避免重复,省
略句中的一个或几个句子成分,
这种语法现象称为省略。
定义

1)在say, know, think, believe, suppose,
consider, find, decide等动词后面所接的一个
宾语从句中,连词that可以省略;若后接多个宾
语从句,只有第一个连词that可省略,其余的连
词that不能省略。如:
I think (that) you like me, do you?
我们的语文老师说这篇课文非常重要,我们应
该把它记住。
Our Chinese teacher said (that) the text
was very important_________________
______________.
and that we should
learn it by heart

that 或 in which 引导, that 或 in which 也常可省略。
判断正误:
这是我的妻子,我的一切都归功于她。
This is my wife, I owe everything to.( )
见到她的那天是我一生中最伟大的日子。
The day I saw her was the
greatest of my life. ( )
