12-02
Inversion

❌ Over-ellipsis can confuse — keep enough context.❌ 省略过多会造成歧义。
12-04
Register
语域💡 概念 Concept
Formal writing prefers full forms, passive voice, and precise connectors; informal speech uses contractions, phrasal verbs, and simple connectors.正式写作用完整形式、被动语态和精确连接词;非正式口语用缩略形式、短语动词和简单连接词。

12-06
Nominalisation
名词化💡 概念 Concept

12-07
Hedging and Stance
模糊限制与立场💡 概念 Concept
Hedging softens claims: seem, appear, tend to, it is likely that, may/might, arguably. Stance shows your position: clearly, surprisingly, importantly.模糊限制语软化断言:seem、appear、tend to、it is likely that、may/might、arguably。立场词表明态度:clearly、surprisingly、importantly。

12-08
Production and Editing
综合运用与改错💡 概念 Concept
Write with advanced grammar in context: add emphasis where needed, invert for style, nominalise for formality, hedge for accuracy, and keep cohesion.在语境中使用高级语法:需要强调处强调、为风格倒装、为正式名词化、为准确模糊化,并保持衔接。
📐 规则 Rules
风格匹配
Match advanced structures to the text type: essay → nominalisation + hedging; speech → emphasis + fronting.
高级结构要匹配文体:论文用名词化+模糊限制;演讲用强调+前置。

Advanced grammar adds power only when used naturally.
高级语法只有用得自然才有力量。
