第四、语法点拨

1. ... alone in the room with the coffins,Oliver cried bitter, lonely tears．

要点解析：划线部分为形容词短语做伴随状况状语。

2. He ran up the street and through the town as far as the main road, where he saw a sign that told him it was just seventy miles from there to London.

要点解:1：换线部分where he saw a sign that told him it was just seventy miles from there to London是非线性定语从句，修饰先行词road。

要点解析2：在这个非限定性定语从句中，that told him it was just seventy miles from there to London是同位语从句，同为词是sign，在这里补充说明sign上面写着的是什么内容。

3. ... and that there was always work there for those that wanted it．

要点解析：换线部分是限定性定语从句。注意先行词是个特殊的指示代词those，它在定语从句中充当主语，因此，引导词只能用that，不能用who。
