HostNorth Posted January 15, 2012 at 06:55 AM Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 at 06:55 AM I'm having trouble with changing the clause of these sentences: Activity: Change the first clause into a noun clause, and make any other changes necessary. 1. 那位先生會說英文，他是我朋友。 If someone can first do this one sentence for me, I'll likely be able to understand what it wants me to do! So I ask graciously if someone can help me here, better understand what this activity wants me to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HostNorth Posted January 16, 2012 at 08:45 AM Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 at 08:45 AM 會說英文的那位先生是我朋友。 I'm guessing the above, is the correct change? Or if someone could tell me if that sentence makes sense, I would appreciate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelyus Posted January 16, 2012 at 02:18 PM Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 at 02:18 PM Hi, welcome to Chinese-Forums.com! Yes, I think that's the correct answer to the question (or 那位會說英語的...; there is a slight difference in nuance between the two positions for 那位, but I don't think it matters for this exercise; and I am a prescriptivist when it comes to the 文/語 difference!).

Scott Kroger Posted August 8, 2014 at 10:29 AM Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 at 10:29 AM I'm using the same workbooks you are using and had the same question. What you said sounds reasonable, so I'm gonna go ahead and work that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedroski Posted August 8, 2014 at 11:00 PM Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 at 11:00 PM 那位先生會說英文，他是我朋友。 don't like "會說英文的那位先生是我朋友。" think 那位会说英语的先生，他是我的朋友。is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
