在学习英语的过程中,同学们一定会遇到我,难免与我——“宾语从句”交朋友。如果需要我帮忙,我当然十分乐意。不过,同学们应先了解我,熟悉我的品性,我才帮得上忙。为此,我有几句“知心话”要与同学们说说。
1. 我天生就用陈述句语序,不用疑问句语序。
例:请告诉我你叫什么名字。
Please tell me what is your name.(×)
Please tell me what you name is.(√)
2. that可以省略,不要与用作引导词的疑问词重复。
例:他问谁教我们英语。
He asked that who taught us English.(×)
He asked who taught us English.(√)
3. 引导词要放在我的前面。
例:他问那是谁的孩子。
She asked that was whose child.(×)
She asked whose child that was.(√)
4. 我的時态一般应与主句的时态呼应,主句是过去时,我也用相应的过去时;但我在叙述客观真理时,用一般现在时,不受主句限制。
例:他想知道谁将给他们做报告。
He wondered who will give them a talk.(×)
He wondered who would give them a talk.(√)
例:她告诉他的孩子,地球绕着太阳转。
She told her child that the earth turned around the sun.(×)
She told her child that the earth turns around the sun.(√)
例:物理老师说,光比声音速度快得多。
The physics teacher said that light traveled much faster than sound.(×)
The physics teacher said that light travels much faster than sound.(√)
