What it was to become was uncertain until between 4. 5 and 3. 8 billion years ago when the dust settled into a solid globe. (be to do; what-clause as the subject) 2. The earth became so violent that it was not clear whether the shape would last or not. (so. . . that; it is/was not+adj. +whether-clause) 3. What is even more important is that as the earth cooled down, water began to appear on its surface. (what-clause as the subject; that-clause as the predicative) 4. It was not immediately obvious that water was to be fundamental to the development of life. \[it is/was (not)+adj. +that \] 5. So whether life will continue on the earth for millions of years to come will depend on whether this problem can be solved. (whether-clause as the subject; depend on+whether-clause as the object) 功能 Instructions: Please pay attention to. . . 　Please check that. . . . 　You need. . . Don’t forget to. . .
