⑵ 当主句的谓语动词与 that 宾语从句之间有插入语时,that一般不可省。
如:Just then I noticed for the first time,that our master was wearing
his fine green coat and his black silk cap.
⑶ 当that 从句是双宾语中的直接宾语时,that不可省。
如:I can't tell him that his mother died.
注意:许多带复合宾语的句子,that引导的宾语从句经常移到句子后部,而用it作形式宾语。
如:I find it necessary that we should do the homework on time.
⒉ 由whether,if引导的宾语从句
① 由whether(if)引导的宾语从句,实际上是一般疑问句演变而来的。意思是"是否"。宾语从句要用陈述句语序。一般说来,在宾语从句中whether与if可以互换使用,但在特殊情况下if与whether是不能互换的。
如:I wonder whether(if)they will come to our party.
② 只能用whether,不能用if引导的宾语从句
⑴ 在带to的不定式前
如:We decided whether to walk there.
⑵ 在介词的后面
如:I'm thinking of whether we should go to see the film.
⑶ 在动词后面的宾语从句时
如:We discussed whether we had a sports meeting next week
⑷ 直接与or not连用时
如:I can't say whether or not thet can come on time.
③ 只能用if不能用whether引导的宾语从句
⑴ if引导条件状语从句,意为"如果"
如:The students will go on a picnic if it is sunny.
⑵ if引导否定概念的宾语从句时
如:He asked if I didn't come to school yesterday.
⑶ 引导状语从句even if(即使)和as if(好象)时
如:He talks as if he has known all about it.
⒊ 连接代词和连接副词引导的宾语从句
这样的宾语从句实际上是由特殊疑问句变化而来的,宾语从句要用陈述句语序。用于这种结构的动词常常是:see,say,tell,ask,answer,know,decide,show,find out,imagine,suggest,doubt,wonder,discover,understand,inform,advise等。
英语中的连接代词有:who,whom,whose,which,what,在句中担任主语、宾语、定语或者表语。
如:Can you tell me whom you are waiting for?
英语中的连接副词有:when,where,why,how,在句中担任状语的成分。
如:None of us knows where these new parts can be bought.
宾语从句的语序
宾语从句的语序是陈述句语序即:连接代词/副词+主语+谓语+其他成分。
如:I don't know what they are looking for.
Could you tell me when the train will leave?
