宾语从句
一. 定义:宾语从句是指在一个句子中充当宾语的句子
如:He said that he wanted to be a teacher when he grew up.
二. 宾语从句有三种类型:
1.由从属连词that引导的宾语从句表示陈述意义,连词that常可被省略。例如:I hope (that) they will have fun. Mary said that she felt sleepy.
Can’t you see (that) I’m a bird?
注意:(1)当主句的谓语动词是think,believe等时,宾语从句尽管要表示否定意义,却不用否定形式,而将think等动词变为否定形式。如:I don’t think he will come.我认为他不会来。
(2)两个表示陈述意义的宾语从句并列时,有时省去第一个从句的连词that,但第二个从句的连词that一般不可以省略。如:
He told me (that)they could not decide what to do and that they asked my advice.
2.由从属连词if或whether引导的宾语从句表示“是否(有,能,已经??)”等一般疑问句的含义。
例如:I wonder whether (if) he lives here.
3.由连接代词who,whom,whose,what,which和连接副词when,where,how,why等引导的宾语从句表示“谁,谁的,什么,哪(个,些),何时,何地,怎样,为什么”等等特殊疑问句的意义。除了连接词及被修饰的词提前以外,宾语从句用陈述句语序。
例如:To masked who could give the message to her mother.
Do you know what he said just now? I wondered how old his brother was.
