Question

___________, Mother will wait for him to have dinner together.

A．However late is he	B．However he is late
C．However is he late	D．However late he is

Answer 1

D

試題分析：句意：不管多晚，母親總是等他一起吃晚餐。however不管怎么樣，后接形容詞，再接讓步狀語從句，故選D
點評：however一詞的用法如下：1. 用作副詞
(1) 表示讓步：意為“無論如何”“不管怎樣”，用來修飾形容詞或副詞，其詞序為：however+形容詞或副詞+主語+謂語。這樣用的however其實具有連詞的功能，用以引導讓步狀語從句。
(2) 表示轉折：尤其用于談及一個既成事實時，表示轉折，其意為“可是”“仍然”等。可放在句首、句中或句末，通常用逗號與句子其他成分隔開。
