[토익 문법] 수식어구를 제거하면 문장이 보인다! 영어 문장의 핵심 구조 파악하는 법 🚀
1️⃣ 수식어구(전치사구, 부사구, 관계절 등)와 핵심 문장 구조(S + V + O/C) 구별법
📌 수식어구란?
- 문장에서 필수 성분이 아닌 추가적인 정보를 제공하는 부분.
- 전치사구, 부사구, 관계절 등이 포함됨.
🔹 예문 :
- The book on the table is mine. (테이블 위에 있는 책은 내 것이다.)
→ ‘on the table’은 전치사구로서 수식어구. - She ran quickly to the store. (그녀는 빠르게 가게로 뛰어갔다.)
→ ‘quickly’는 부사구로서 동사를 수식. - The man who lives next door is a doctor. (옆집에 사는 남자는 의사이다.) → ‘who lives next door’는 관계절.
2️⃣ 영어 문장에서 핵심 구조를 먼저 파악하는 법
단계 | 설명 | 예문 |
1. 주어(S)와 동사(V) 찾기 | 문장의 기본 틀을 형성하는 요소로, 이를 먼저 파악해야 함. | The student (who won the competition) is happy. → The student is happy. |
2. 목적어(O)와 보어(C) 확인하기 |
목적어는 동작의 대상을 보어는 주어나 목적어를 보충 설명하는 역할을 함. | She found the book interesting. → She found the book interesting. |
3. 수식어구 제거하기 | 필수 성분이 아닌 전치사구, 부사구, 관계절 등을 제거하면 핵심 구조가 드러남. | The car (parked in front of the house) belongs to John. → The car belongs to John. |
4. 문장 구조 확인 | 핵심 성분만 남기고 문장의 구조를 이해. | The girl (wearing a red dress) is my sister. → The girl is my sister. |
5. 최종 핵심 문장 정리 | 불필요한 요소를 모두 제거한 문장의 기본 형태. | He will arrive (at 10 PM.) → He will arrive. |
🔹 예문 :
- The manager (who is responsible for the project) will present the report.
→ The manager will present the report. (그 매니저가 보고서를 발표할 것이다.) - The package (placed on the table) was delivered this morning.
→ The package was delivered this morning. (그 소포는 오늘 아침에 배달되었다.) - The student (studying in the library) passed the exam.
→ The student passed the exam. (그 학생은 시험에 합격했다.) - A letter (written by my friend) arrived yesterday.
→ A letter arrived yesterday. (편지가 어제 도착했다.) - The restaurant (located near the beach) serves fresh seafood.
→ The restaurant serves fresh seafood. (그 레스토랑은 신선한 해산물을 제공한다.) - The woman (who works at the bank) is my neighbor.
→ The woman is my neighbor. (그 은행에서 일하는 여자는 내 이웃이다.) - The documents (signed by the manager) were sent yesterday.
→ The documents were sent yesterday. (매니저가 서명한 문서는 어제 발송되었다.) - The children (playing in the park) looked happy.
→ The children looked happy. (공원에서 놀고 있는 아이들은 행복해 보였다.) - The house (built in the 1980s) needs renovation.
→ The house needs renovation. (1980년대에 지어진 그 집은 수리가 필요하다.) - The book (that I borrowed from the library) was very interesting.
→ The book was very interesting. (내가 도서관에서 빌린 그 책은 매우 흥미로웠다.)
✅ 핵심 포인트 정리
1. 주어(S)와 동사(V)를 먼저 찾는다.
- 문장의 기본 틀을 형성하는 요소이므로 이를 가장 먼저 파악해야 함.
- 예 : The student who won the competition is happy. → The student is happy.
2. 목적어(O)와 보어(C)를 확인한다.
- 목적어는 타동사 뒤에 위치하며 동작의 대상을 나타냄.
- 보어는 주어나 목적어를 보충 설명하는 역할을 함.
- 예 : She found the book interesting. → 목적어 : the book, 보어 : interesting
3. 수식어구(전치사구, 부사구, 관계절)를 제거한다.
- 문장의 필수 성분이 아닌 부분을 제거하면 핵심 문장이 드러남.
- 예 : The car parked in front of the house belongs to John. → The car belongs to John.
4. 불필요한 요소를 모두 제거한 후 핵심 문장을 정리한다.
- 문장이 길고 복잡할 경우, 단계별로 제거하여 핵심 구조를 남긴다.
- 예 : The girl wearing a red dress is my sister. → The girl is my sister.
