Question

一点英语语法问题.
When compared with the size of the whole earth,the biggest ocean does not seem big at all.如果把句中的when去掉,从语法上讲句子还成立吗,说明原因!
参考句子：Michael’s new house is like a huge palace,compared with his old one.
声明：这两个句子绝对都是正确的!

Answer 1

完全可以.
When compared with the size of the whole earth是When the biggest ocean is compared with the size of the whole earth的一个省略形式,这种省略往往要求从句的主语与主句主语一致并且从句的谓语动词是 am/is/are/was/were中的一个.又如：If (he was) asked about his daughter,Mr Black would just say that she was on holiday.
