quasi relative pronoun... #2 (permalink) Thu May 01, 2008 19:14 pm   quasi relative pronoun...		  
Hi,

Have a look at this from an English forum:

Re: quasi relativew pronoun

Quote:
I can't give a grammatical explanation, but I can develop the sentences from a more understandable form.

Many people supposed that her services would not be very valuable.
Her services are more valuable than many people supposed.
Her services are more valuable than was supposed by many people.
Her services are more valuable than was supposed.

Everyone expected that many loyalists would turn out to welcome their hero home.
It was expected that many loyalists would turn out to welcome their hero home.
Fewer loyalists than anyone expected turned out to welcome their hero home.
Fewer loyalists than expected turned out to welcome their hero home.

Fewer people than we had expected were present.
Fewer people than expected were present.

In each case, if it is not important to say who was doing the supposing or the expecting, it is possible to avoid referring to them.
Quote:
Then last week Murayama got an agreement from the U.S. that American servicemen wanted in serious crimes can now be taken into Japanese custody before they are indicted, rather than afterwards (as was previously the case).

This sentence is not of the same type.
The "as was previously the case" is like an explanatory comment, a note in parentheses, pointing out that this is a change from the way things were previously done.

thank you very much. #3 (permalink) Sat May 03, 2008 22:20 pm   thank you very much.		  
Mr.Alan. I appreciate to you sincerely.
But it looks like they are slightly difference with my mentioned.
I think my question was wrong to express what I want to know.
After summing up well, I rewrite on the Forum.
have a nice day!
