whether/ if及疑问词引导的宾语从句
上一个模块中我们学习了that引导的宾语从句,本模块我们学习whether / if引导的宾语从句和疑问词引导的宾语从句。
一、whether / if引导的宾语从句
当大凡疑问句充任句中的宾语时,用连词whether或if引导,连词在从句中不充任任何句子成分,意为“是否”,不可省略。
当宾语从句中没有or not
时,whether和if都能用;但当宾语从句中有or not时,只能用whether。
另外,充任宾语从句的大凡疑问句要变为陈述句语序。
如:
Will she go to Beijing tomorrow? I don’t know.
→I don’t know if / whether she will go to Beijing tomorrow.
Will David move to our city or not? She asked.
→She asked whether David will move to our city or not.
二、疑问词引导的宾语从句
当分外疑问句充任句中的宾语时,由原来的疑问代词what, who, which等或疑问副词when, where, how, why等作为连接词,这些词在宾语从句中充任一定的句子成分,都有各自的词义,不可省略。
另外,充任宾语从句的分外疑问句要变为陈述句语序。
如:
What is his sister going to do? I ask Jack.
→I ask Jack what his sister is going to d o.
When did she arrive in Beijing? I want to know.
→I want to know when shearrived in Beijing.
Where did you buy the beautiful scarf? Could you tell me?
→Could you tell me where you bought the beautiful scarf?
三、whether / if及疑问词引导的宾语从句的时态
我们在使用这两类从句的过程中,当主句的谓语动词是大凡现在时的时候,宾语从句的谓语动词可根据需要使用合适的时态;当主句的谓语动词是大凡过去时的时候,宾语从句的谓语动词常用相应的过去时态;但当宾语从句表述的是客观真理时,不管主句的谓语动词是何种时态,该从句须用大凡现在时。
如:I want to know whether / if your brother went to the zoo yesterday.
Susan asks whether / if she can go to the school after eight o’clock.
He asked me what I was doing at that time.
The little boy asked whether / if all the planets go around the sun.
