3 what
S + V
|
→
由what所引導的名詞子句，可在句子裡作動詞的受詞或句中的主詞。這時的what為複合關係代名詞，相當於「先行詞 + 關係代名詞」，可改寫為the thing which或the thing that。除此之外，要特別注意的是，因為這個用法裡的what不是疑問詞，所以引導的子句中，主詞和動詞不倒裝。
例：Parents have to know what their children really want.
父母必須知道他們的小孩真正想要什麼。
What you
are doing now
is meaningless.
你現在正在做的事是沒意義的。

/ were + V-ing
|
→
進行式的架構為「be動詞
+ V-ing」。這裡介紹的過去進行式中，主詞為第一人稱單數或第三人稱單數時，搭配的過去式be動詞是was；主詞為第二人稱或複數名詞時，搭配的過去式be動詞是were。而過去進行式所表達的意思除了「過去某時間正在進行的動作」外，也可搭配另一個過去的動作，表示當時正同時進行、發生時間較長的動作。

seem to V → It
seems that S + V
|
→
seem的意思是「好像，似乎」。在seem的句子中，通常會以人或具體的事物當主詞，後方加上seem to，再接上原形動詞。如果要改寫時，可以用虛主詞it來引導句子。另外要特別注意的是，seem不會以進行式出現。
例：William seems to prefer tea to coffee.
→ It seems that
William prefers tea to coffee.
William好像喜歡茶多於咖啡。
This mobile game seems to cost players a lot of
money.
