此句填被動還是分詞

Question

The way words< >-loud,soft,fast.or slow- is very important
為什麼填are spoken,
ps.此句出自84年大學聯考英文試題
1.而不是當形容詞用的分詞,如spoken=which spoken
還是說加which的分詞句,後面一定要是動詞不能是形容詞嗎
如A letter written in respond to a help-wanted ad is a solicited letter
2.此句可改寫回It is very important嗎
解釋的越詳細越好

可是They were among the millions of students invited to join this activity =They were among the millions of students who is invited to join this activity

若是which are spoken
那為什麼不which are 一起省略
因為後面已經有動詞 is了啊

KEVIN兄真是太厲害了
你可以再寫一個句子是OSV
像這句是倒裝句
讓我了解更清楚

Answer 1

完整的句子是這樣的:
The way how words are spoken- loud, soft, fast, or slow- is very improtant.
其中, 破折號(-)所夾帶的是插句, 可以先拿掉.
The way how words are spoken is very important.
主詞: the way
動詞: is
主詞補語; important
修飾主詞補語的副詞: very
修飾主詞的形容詞子句: how words are spoken

先說子句:
words 是字(複數), 也是"話"的意思, 都是"被說", 所以用:
Words are spoken.
要問: 字是怎麼(被)唸的呢?
How are words spoken?這叫"直接問句"
要問: 你知道字是怎麼(被)唸的呢?
Do you know how words are spoken?<注意how後面不同的地方>
這叫"間接問句", 其中"how words are spoken"就是一個子句, 當名詞用, 作為know的受詞.
但是更完整的說法應該是:
Do you know the way how words are spoken?
主詞: you
動詞: know
受詞: the way
修飾受詞的形容詞子句: how words are spoken
所以同樣是由how引導的子句, 放在不同的地方, 有不同的功用.

回到原句: 括號表示可以省略
The way how words are spoken is very important.
= The way (how) words are apoken is very important.
= (The way) How words are spoken is very important.
= It is very important how words are spoken.
way稱為how的先行詞, 通常可省.

類似的例子:
The time when she will be back is not important.
=The time she will be back is not important.
=When she will be back is not important.

所以, 從頭到尾, 都和 "which"這個字無關.

如果一定要用which的話, 可以寫成:The way in which words are spoken is very important.=The way which words are spoken in is very important.

Answer 2

1. which spoken是錯的..要用which are spoken,因為字是被說不是自己說,所以要用被動式..而which可以省略

2.以it is very important開頭的話,則是寫成it is very important to speak the way woards loud,soft,fast, or slow.

這是我記憶中學得的..有錯也請見諒...
