专项训练三  改错题

35. To be sured, it is nature that gives people such beautiful scenery.

当然，大自然给了人们如此美丽的风景。

35. sured改成sure。to be sure是固定搭配，表示“确切地说”，通常用在句首，作插入语。

例句：So he is, to be sure, rejoined Squeers.

“哦，这么回事，”斯格威尔先生继续说。

结构分析：

To be sure是状语，it是主语，is是系动词，nature是表语，that引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，gives是谓语，people是间接宾语，such beautiful scenery是直接宾语。
