예비고1 영어 · 절 경계와 주절 동사 5문항

Many middle school students can translate nearly every word in a long sentence and still lose its main point. One reason is that familiar words do not reveal which verb completes the main clause. In the sentence “The posters that students designed for the recycling campaign were displayed near the entrance,” designed belongs to the relative clause beginning with that, while were displayed completes the main clause. A reader who treats designed as the main verb may think the sentence ends before reaching the actual result. Marking clause boundaries is therefore not extra decoration; it is a temporary tool for connecting each subject to the verb that governs it. After the main clause is found, the relative clause must be opened again so that the description of the posters is not lost. The goal is not to erase modifiers but to control the order in which relationships are built. With practice, a reader can perform the same operation without drawing brackets on every sentence.
