0Hello, everyone, 02br
02br
00I've asked a question in 01a
05000 02a00 about what's the difference between "As it was written in 02br
02br
00haste, the book has many mistakes." and "As the book was written in haste, it has many mistakes." I knew from the thread that both of them are possible forms of 02br
02br
00writing. But now I saw some similar cases which the above conclusion might not make sense. For example, we can say: 02br
02br
01i
00When 01b00an American02b00 woman meets someone for the first time, 01b00she 02b00may or may not offer her hand. 02i02br
02br
01i
00As 01b00my grandma02b00 is a vegetarian, 01b00she02b00 does not eat meat.02i02br
02br
02br
00But I think it strange to say: 02br
02br
01i
00When01b00 she02b00 meets someone for the first time, 01b00an American woman02b00 may or may not offer her hand. 02i02br
02br
01i
00As 01b00she02b00 is a vegetarian, 01b00my grandma02b00 does not eat meat. 02i02br
02br
00As for those two sentences, I think to put the pronouns before their referents are somewhat strange. 02br
02br
00However, I do saw certain similar cases shows that no matter where the pronoun is, the meaning wouldn't be affected(Just like the two sentences in the thread 02br
02br
00I've metioned in this post). Like the following pair of sentences:02br
02br
01i
00When 01b00it 02b00is seen from the mountain,01b00 Tokyo02b00 looks beautiful at night. 02i02br
02br
01i
00When 01b00Tokyo02b00 is seen from the mountain,01b00 it02b00 looks beautiful at night. 02i02br
02br
00For those two sentences, I don't think either of them are strange. But how could that be? What do you think? Thank you for your replies!0260hrefhttp://www.EnglishForward.com/English/BookWrittenHasteMistakes/gvrkh/post.htm
