Остановимся немного на отработке вопросов к сложно-подчиненному предложению типа “хозяин-слуга”. Понятно, что в такое предложение входят два простых предложения, и какое из них выбрать для вопроса? То, что стоит первым или вторым? Или это не имеет значения?
Во-первых, надо запомнить простое правило: В английском языке не бывает ничего по ”ДВА”. Не бывает двух отрицаний в одном предложении, не указывается два раза на грамматическое время ( то есть, если есть вспомогательный глагол , то смысловой глагол всегда в инфинитиве), и в одном предложении не может быть двух вопросов.
Во-вторых, уясняем еще одно правило для сложно подчиненных предложений: только хозяин может задавать вопрос. То есть, вопрос можно поставить только к главному предложению.
Давайте поставим вопросы к сложноподчиненному предложению, касающемуся нашей грамматической темы Past Continuous Tense.
The teacher came into the classroom (главное предложение или “хозяин”) when the children were writing a composition (придаточное предложение времени или “слуга”).
Итак, ставим вопросы к главному предложению, а придаточное предложение остается неизменным.
Did the teacher come into the classroom when the children were writing a composition?
Who came into the classrom when the children were writing a composition?
Where did the teacher come into when the children were writing a composition?
Давайте поменяем статус предложений: придаточное предложение станет главным, а главное предложение — придаточным.
