读者 Fred 问：英文作文时，老师说 "There are many students stay unhealthy" 一句错，因为一句只可以有一个动词。然而为什么 "I was told it was bogus" 又可以成立呢？

不错，一句句子只可以有一个动词。Fred 的句子可改写为 "Many students stay unhealthy." 或者 "There are many students who stay unhealthy."。

为什么 "I was told it was bogus" 一句又成立呢？原因是这句本来是 "I was told that it was bogus."，是一句转述句（indirect speech），只不过 that 被省略了，这种情况在口语中特别普遍。

又或者问："There are many students who stay unhealthy." 一句不也有两个动词吗？这个是因为这句其实是由两句句子组成，中间运用关系代名词 who 连接起来。从文法上来说，that、who 和which 一类的关系代名词带头的短语，虽然含有动词，但不能单独成为一句，必须连带其他部分才可以成立。
