在學習英語的過程中,同學們一定會遇到我,難免與我——“賓語從句”交朋友。如果需要我幫忙,我當然十分樂意。不過,同學們應先了解我,熟悉我的品性,我才幫得上忙。為此,我有幾句“知心話”要與同學們說說。
1. 我天生就用陳述句語序,不用疑問句語序。
例:請告訴我你叫什么名字。
Please tell me what is your name.(×)
Please tell me what you name is.(√)
2. that可以省略,不要與用作引導詞的疑問詞重復。
例:他問誰教我們英語。
He asked that who taught us English.(×)
He asked who taught us English.(√)
3. 引導詞要放在我的前面。
例:他問那是誰的孩子。
She asked that was whose child.(×)
She asked whose child that was.(√)
4. 我的時態一般應與主句的時態呼應,主句是過去時,我也用相應的過去時;但我在敘述客觀真理時,用一般現在時,不受主句限制。
例:他想知道誰將給他們做報告。
He wondered who will give them a talk.(×)
He wondered who would give them a talk.(√)
例:她告訴他的孩子,地球繞著太陽轉。
She told her child that the earth turned around the sun.(×)
She told her child that the earth turns around the sun.(√)
例:物理老師說,光比聲音速度快得多。
The physics teacher said that light traveled much faster than sound.(×)
The physics teacher said that light travels much faster than sound.(√)
