📝 Grammar Breakdown / 문법 설명

English

“That was submitted yesterday” is a defining relative clause using a passive construction. “That” refers to “the report.” Passive relative clauses follow this pattern: “that was/were + past participle.” This specifies which particular report is being discussed.

한국어

“That was submitted yesterday”는 수동 구조를 사용한 한정 관계절입니다. “That”은 “the report”를 가리킵니다. 수동 관계절은 “that was/were + 과거분사” 형태를 따릅니다.
