27、,所以用并列连词and。6sung本句中名词songs与动词sing之间构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词短语在句中充当定语修饰songs。7brightly在英语中通常用副词充当状语修饰形容词或者副词。本句中用副词brightly修饰decorated。8a根据句意可知只是说吃顿饭,并没有具体特指。9feeling动词feel与句子主语we构成主动关系,所以用现在分词feeling在句中充当伴随状语。10which本题定语从句的先行词是a bag of fruits,关系代词which指代先行词在句中充当动词buy的宾语。.短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下
