宾语从句(Object Clause):在复合句中作宾语的从句叫做宾语从句。宾语从句通常放在主句的谓语动词或介词之后,由连接词引导。
宾语从句的三要素:引导词、语序、时态
引导词类型:
1. that(陈述句):可省略,如 I think (that) he is right.
2. if/whether(一般疑问句):是否,如 I don't know if/whether he will come.
3. 特殊疑问词(特殊疑问句):what, when, where, why, how等
语序:宾语从句用陈述语序(主语 + 谓语)
时态:
1. 主句现在时,从句根据实际情况用任何时态
2. 主句过去时,从句用相应的过去时态(客观真理除外)
3. 客观真理、自然现象等永远用一般现在时
常见动词:think, know, say, tell, ask, wonder, believe, hope, hear等
注意:whether可与or not连用,if不能;介词后只能用whether
I think (that) he is right.
I don't know if/whether he will come.
I don't know what he is doing.
宾语从句要用陈述语序,不能用疑问语序
错误:I don't know what is he doing. ✗
正确:I don't know what he is doing. ✓
主句是I think/believe/suppose等,变否定时否定前移
例:I don't think he is right. (不说I think he isn't right.)
whether vs if:
- whether可与or not连用,if不能
- 介词后用whether,不用if
- 句首用whether,不用if
时态呼应很重要,注意主句时态决定从句时态
用that, if/whether或特殊疑问词填空: 1. I think ___ he is a good student. 2. I don't know ___ he will come tomorrow. 3. Can you tell me ___ she lives?
判断从句类型
💬 1. that (陈述句,可省略) 2. if/whether (一般疑问句,'是否') 3. where (特殊疑问句,问地点)
1. that 2. if/whether 3. where
通过游戏掌握宾语从句的构成和用法
I don't know ___ he will come tomorrow.
Can you tell me ___?
The teacher told us that the earth ___ around the sun.
I want to know ___ he will come or not.
将下列句子改为宾语从句: 1. Is he a teacher? I don't know ___. 2. What is his name? Can you tell me ___? 3. When will he come? I wonder ___.
用括号内动词的适当形式填空,并说明原因: 1. I think he ___ (be) right. 2. I thought he ___ (be) right. 3. He said that he ___ (finish) his homework already. 4. The teacher said that light ___ (travel) faster than sound.
