一道英语改错题求解
题:If people cannot afford to buy their own house,they can rent property from a private landlord,as 10% of the population does,or from their local council.
这句话中的as 10% of the population does是错误的,应该改成as do 10% of the population,请问这里为什么要用倒装使用法?

首先是10% of the population 是复数而不是单数,因为 population指“人口”总称,是集合名词时,常用单数.作主语,其谓语动词可以用单数,侧重整体;也可用复数,侧重个体.这里是侧重个体的.所以用do而不用does.
其次,as可以引导倒装句用于强调,在这句话中,as do 10% of the population 是对前面rent property from a private landlord这个的修饰,强调有10%的人会这样做.请问如果换成the same as 10% of the people do对不对?不对,如果要改用the same as,要这样:If people cannot afford to buy their own house, they can rent property from a private landlord, the same behavior as 10% of the population (have/do 可省), or from their local council.the same as是经常听到和使用的一个词组,请问这里为什么中间一定要加behavior才对?求解析首先你要知道the same as 的用法.the same as用法:“同....一样”这里as是连词,the same+名词+as......, 也可以什么都不加,直接the same as...例句: I have the same long hair as my sister. My sister's hair is the same as mine.你比较下上面的例句和你要修改的句子有什么不同呢?你要修改的句子中,the same as 是作为插入语,修饰they can rent property from a private landlord这句的,做这句的定语,加上behavior会使句义更清楚。
