三语法核心总结

间接引语的宾语从句

ask sb. if / why …（是否 / 为何）

过去完成时

had included / had finished / had enjoyed

定语从句

the sort of thing that Jeremy loves

see sb. doing sth.

看见某人正在做某事

间接引语中的时态后移：直接引语 "Did you enjoy the speech?" 转为间接引语时变成 he asked Jenny if she had enjoyed the speech，一般过去时后移为过去完成时。本课句 9（if she had enjoyed）与句 11（why this was so、did not like）都是这一规则的体现。
the sort of thing that Jeremy loves：the sort of thing 后接定语从句时，关系代词通常用 that（也可省略），不要用 which。同类还有 the kind of book that I like。
see sb. doing sth. 与 see sb. do sth.：前者强调「看见某人正在做某事」（动作正在进行），后者强调「看见某人做了某事」（动作已完成）。句中 see so many people laughing at him 用现在分词，写的是珍妮看到的「一群人一直在笑」的画面。
