引导宾语从句的关联词有连词:that,whether,if;连接代词:who,whom,whose,what,which;连接副词:when,where,why,how;关系代词:what。如:
I went in and asked if/whether they had a cheap suit.
我走进去问他们是否有便宜的衣服。
The professor asked who could answer the question.
教授问谁能回答这个问题。
Could you tell me where the booking office is?
你能不能告诉我售票处在什么地方?
She has got what she wanted.她要的东西得到了。
注意:
1.that 引导的宾语从句,在口语或非正式文体中常省略。如:
James said(that)he was feeling better.詹姆斯说他感到好些了。
2.在谓语动词、介词、动词不定式、分词、动名词之后都可以带有宾语从句。某些形容词如sure,happy,glad,certain,pleased 等之后也可以带有宾语从句。如:
We are talking about whether we admit students into our club.
我们正在讨论是否让学生加入我们的俱乐部。
He is glad that Li Ming went to see him when he was ill.
他很高兴在他生病的时候李明能去看望他。
3.在think,believe,suppose,expect 等动词的宾语从句中,否定不用在从句中,而是将think 等词变为否定形式。如:
I don’t think the film is interesting.我觉得这部电影没什么意思。
I don’t suppose we are going out tomorrow.我认为我们明天不会出去。
4.如果从句作宾语而后面还有补语,为了保持句子的平衡,用it 作形式宾语,而将宾语从句放在句尾。常跟这样的复合宾语的动词有:make,find,see,hear,feel,think,consider,regard,take…for granted等。如:
George made it clear that he opposed this project.
乔治已明确表示他反对这个项目。
They kept it quiet that he was dead.对他已经死亡的消息,他们秘而不宣。
I took it for granted that you’d stay with us.我想当然认为你会和我们待在一起。
