短文
Dear team,
I am writing to let you know that the marketing meeting originally scheduled for Tuesday has been moved to Thursday at 3 p.m. The change was necessary because several colleagues will be away at a conference early in the week. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
The meeting will now take place in Conference Room B, which is on the fourth floor. Since the room is larger, we will also be able to invite the design team, whose input is important for the new campaign.
Please update your calendar and confirm your attendance by replying to this email no later than Wednesday noon. If you cannot attend in person, you may join the meeting online through the link I will share that morning. Those who join remotely should test their microphone in advance to avoid technical problems.
The agenda will be sent one day before the meeting so that everyone has time to prepare. If there is a topic you would like to add, let me know in advance and I will include it. Thank you for your flexibility, and I look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
Best regards,
Daniel

句子结构
把关键句子按意义单位切分,观察各部分的作用。
The marketing meeting originally scheduled for Tuesday has been moved to Thursday at 3 p.m.
主语The marketing meeting主语(会议)
修饰originally scheduled for Tuesday过去分词短语修饰主语
谓语has been moved现在完成时被动
修饰to Thursday at 3 p.m.the new time
主语「meeting」之后,过去分词短语「scheduled for Tuesday」直接附加来修饰它:「定于周二的(会议)」。可看作省略了关系词「which was」。主句谓语是「has been moved」——现在完成时(has + p.p.)与被动语态(be + moved)重叠,意为「已被改到」。跳过分词修饰,核心就是「The meeting has been moved to Thursday」。
Since the room is larger, we will also be able to invite the design team, whose input is important for the new campaign.
从句Since the room is larger原因状语从句(since~)
主语we主句主语
谓语will also be able to invite将来+能力
宾语the design team宾语
从句, whose input is important for the new campaign所有格关系从句(whose~)
句子以原因从句「Since ...」开头,后接主句——副词从句在前、主句在后的常见排列。主句末尾的「whose input is ...」是所有格关系从句,指代前面的「the design team」,说明它是「其意见……的(设计团队)」。「whose」连接人或物的所属(……的)。
