The girl at the back of the room laughed.这里面谁是主语?
之前提问过,the girl,但是书本和老师都说是 the girl at the back of the room.
理由如下:
There are a number of tests to demonstrate that the sequence 'the young girl at the back of the room' behaves as a single unit (an NP):
1.Pronoun substitution - She laughed (where she=the young girl at the back of the room; comapre with She at the back of the room laughed)
2.Yes/no question - Did the young girl at the back of the room laugh?(where the whole sequence has to be between the aux.did and the main verb laugh; compare with Did the young girl laugh at the back of the room?- which has a different meaning).
To address your second point,the PP 'at the back of the room' modifies the noun 'girl' and in this sense it functions like an adjective.(这是在邮件中对我下面提问的回复)
提问:As i read the handout,here is an example of a sentence,'The young girl at the back of the room laughed'.
the explanation siad; the subject of this sentence is not just "the young girl' but the whloe sequence' the yong girl at the back of the room'
then i got a question.
1 why is that?
2 'at the back of the room' is the attributive,is it?

the girl是句子的主语,at the back of the room是介词短语作定语修饰主语的
