一、 賓語從句的定義
在復合句中,置于及物動詞、介詞或某些形容詞后起賓語作用的從句叫賓語從句。如
He told me that hell leave for Shanghai tomorrow.
Im thinking of whether I should join the club.
Im afraid that I cant come this afternoon.
二、 引導詞的用法
引導賓語從句的詞叫引導詞。
1.當由陳述句充當賓語從句時,用that引導,that無詞義,在口語或非正式文體中常省略。如:He said (that) he could finish his work before supper.
注意:在以下情況下that不能省略
(1)當主句的謂語動詞后接多個由that引導的賓語從句時,第一個that可省略,但是后面的that不可省略。如:She said (that) you were too young to understand the problem and that he was asked not to tell you.
( 2)當主句的謂語動詞與that引導的賓語從句之間有插入語時, that一般不可省略。如:Just then I noticed, for the first time, that the girl was wearing a ring.
( 3)當that所引導的賓語從句是主句的雙賓語中的直接賓語時, that不可省略。如:
I cant tell her that her mother died.
注意:當主句的謂語動詞是think, believe, suppose, except等詞時,常常把否定轉(zhuǎn)移到主句表示。如:I dont think (that) you are right.
注意:在帶復合賓語的句子中,that引導的賓語從句放到句尾,而用it做形式主語。如:I find it necessary that we should do our homework on time.
2.當由一般疑問句充當賓語從句時,用if或whether引導,意為“是否”。如:
I don't know if /whether he still lives here after so many years.
注意:在以下情況下只能用whether
(1)在具有選擇意義,又有or或or not時,如:
Let me know whether or not he will come.
I wonder whether we stay or whether we go.
(2)在介詞之后用whether.如:I'm interested in whether she likes English.
(3)在不定式前用whether.如: I don't know whether to go.
(4)whether置于句首時,不能換用if.如:Whether this is true or not,I can't say.
(5)若用if會引起歧義時,則用whether. 如:
Please let me know if you like the book.可理解為:“你如果喜歡這本書,請告訴我”或“請告訴我你是否喜歡這本書”。Please let me know whether you like the book.
注意:引導否定概念的賓語從句時只能用if.如: Shi asked if I didnt come to the party yesterday.
3.如果賓語從句原來是特殊疑問句,只需用原來的特殊疑問詞(代詞:who, whose, what, which, whom等;副詞:when, where, how, why等)引導。如:
Could you tell me why you were late for the meeting yesterday?
【典型例題】
1.(2013浙江麗水第29題)-Im going to buy a car. Any advice, Charlie?
-Well, it depends on_________. If money isnt a problem, you can buy a BMW.
A. when you will buy one
B. how much you can afford
C. what color you like
D. where you are driving.
【答案】B
【解析】考查賓語從句中連接詞的用法。根據(jù)下文語境“如果錢不是問題的話,你可以買一輛寶馬”,可以推出此處應為:這取決于你能支付多少錢。和選項B相符,所以選B。……
