宾语从句
核心提示:宾语从句是主从复合句中最常见的从句之一。 它作及物动词、介词或者某些形容词的宾语,涉及到引导词、语序、时态等多方面的内容。
一.宾语从句的定义
置于动词、介词等词性后面起宾语作用的从句叫宾语从句。宾语从句的语序必须是陈述语序。谓语动词、介词、动词不定式,v.-ing形式后面都能带宾语从句。有些形容词(afraid, sure, glad等)之后也可以带宾语从句。
二.宾语从句中引导词的用法
在复合句中作主句的宾语,引导词有:
连词:that (that常可省略), whether, if
代词:who, whom, whose, what ,which
副词:when, where, how, why 等。
1. 语序
宾语从句必须采用陈述语序。何为陈述语序?它是和疑问语序相对的,见下面对比:
(1)Do you like English
其基本结构为:助动词+主语+谓语动词+宾语+其他?
在“(Tom asked me)if/whether I liked English. ”中,相对应的从句语序为:
引导词+主语+谓语动词+宾语+其他
(2)How will you go to Beijing
其基本结构为:疑问词+助动词+主语+谓语动词+宾语+其他
在“(Tom asked me)how I would go to Beijing. ”中,相对应的从句语序为:
引导词+主语+助动词+谓语动词+宾语+其他
可以看出,疑问语序中,助动词要放在主语之前,而在陈述语序中,有时没有助动词,如果有的话要放在主语之后。
(3)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。
E.g.:
1. I don’t know what they are looking for.
2. Could you tell me when the train will leave
3. Can you imagine what kind of man he is
4. Could you tell me where the nearest bathroom is
2. 宾语从句的时态
(1) 当主句时态为一般现在时、现在进行时或一般将来时等“现在时范畴”的时态时,宾语从句的时态根据需要来用,不受主句影响。
I want to know what time he got up this morning.
He will tell us that he has been able to look after himself.
They are saying whether they really like the city.
(2) 当主句时态为一般过去时时,宾语从句要用相应的过去时态。
Kate said there was a box under the desk.
They asked what Tom was doing then.
She wanted to know whether the train had gone.
(3) 当宾语从句表述的是一个客观真理、自然现象或者谚语时,其时态不受主句时态的影响。
Tom asked whether light travels faster than sound.
Tom said that no news is good news.
在做关于宾语从句的题目时,考生可以从时态入手直接排除两个干扰项;也可以从语序入手直接排除疑问语序的两个干扰项,再从时态着手排除第三个干扰项。例如以下两题:
1. —Could you tell me
—Just go straight. It’s on your right.
A. where the post office is B. where is the post office
C. where the post office was D. where was the post office
解析:本题主要考查宾语从句的语序和时态。我们可以从语序或者时态入手。从时态的角度来说,虽然主句could you tell me的情态动词是could,但是could在此只是为了表达更加委婉的语气,和一般过去时无关,而且从语意上讲,很显然问话人想知道现在邮局在哪儿,故排除C、D两项,在A、B两项中选择;再从语序来看,宾语从句应该用陈述语序,符合的选项为A,故本题的正确答案为A。
2. —Do you know the Capital Museum
—Next Monday.
A. when they will visit B. when will they visit
C. when did they visit D. when they visited
解析:和上题一样,本题主要考查宾语从句的语序和时态。我们可以从语序或者时态入手。从语序方面来说,只有A、D两项正确,排除B、C两项;由时态标志词next Monday可以看出正确答案为A。

(6) She asked Tom ________ with his car
A. what the matter was B. what the matter is
C. what was the matter D. what is the matter
3. that引导的宾语从句(在非正式场合that可以省略)
可跟that从句做宾语的动词有:
say, think, insist, wish, hope, demand, imagine, wonder, know, suppose, see, believe, agree, admit, deny, expect, explain, order, command, feel, dream, suggest, hear, mean, notice, prefer, request, require, propose, declare, report等。
例句:The boy believes that he will travel through space to other planets.
注意事项:①主句的主语是第一人称, ②主句是一般现在时,③主句的谓语动词是think, consider, believe, suppose, expect 等表示心理活动的词,(三个条件必需同时满足),而宾语从句的意思是否定时,常把否定转移至主句表示。
例句:I don’t think it is right for him to treat you like that.
I don’t believe he will keep his word.
【名师点睛】
在以下情况中that不能省略
1).当句中的动词后接多于两个由that引导的宾语从句时,第一个that可省,但后面的that不可省。
例句:
He said (that) you were too young to understand the matter and that he was asked not to tell you.
2). 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。
例句:
Just then I noticed, for the first time, that our master was wearing his fine green coat.
We hope, on the contrary, that he will stay at home with us.
3). 当that从句是双宾语中的直接宾语时,that不可省。
例句:I can’t tell him that his mother died.
He told me that he was leaving for Japan.
4). 一些动词(find,feel,consider,make,believe,think)等后面有宾语补足语的时候则需要用it做形式宾语而将that宾语从句后置, 此时that也不能省略。
例句:I find it necessary that we should do the homework on time.
We think it highly probable that he has settled down in America.
4. 由whether,if 引导的宾语从句
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。
例句:I wonder whether(if) they will come to our party.
【名师点睛】
只能用whether,不能用if引导的宾语从句
1.在带to的不定式前
例句:We decided whether to walk there.
2.在介词的后面
例句:I’m thinking of whether we should go to see the film.
3.在特殊动词后面的宾语从句时
例句:We discussed whether we had a sports meeting next week.
4.直接与or not连用时
例句:I can’t say whether they can come on time or not.
5. whether置于句首时,不能换用if。
例句:Whether this is true or not, I can't say.这是否真的我说不上来。
6. 若用if 会引起歧义时,则用 whether。
例句:Please let me know if you like the book.
只能用if不能用whether的情况
1.if引导条件状语从句,意为“如果”
例句:The students will go swimming if it is sunny.
2.引导状语从句even if(即使)和as if(好象)时
例句:He talks as if he has known all about it.

介词+宾语从句
名词性从句可以作为介词的宾语
从句的引导词多为whether或者特殊疑问词
Tom would tell me nothing about what he was writing.
We are talking about whether we go to a picnic.
【名师点睛】:
1). 介词+that从句中,that不能省略
Your composition is quite good except that the organization is a bit loose.
Besides that he explained the theory he gave us some examples.
The reason lies in that she works harder than the others do.
I could not have believed it but that I saw it with my own eyes. (but that 要不是,若非)
2). 表示情感的adj + that 从句,that也不能省略
I’m sure that our team will win.
I’m sorry that I was late again.
常见的可以接宾从的形容词: sure, certain, glad, pleased, happy, surprised, sorry.
6. 宾语从句中的反意疑问句
I). 若反意疑问句的陈述部分为I/we think(believe,suppose,consider)+that从句时,问句部分的助动词和主语与that从句内的动词和主语保持一致。
eg.1. I think that he has done his best, hasn't he
2. We think that English is very useful, isn't it
3. I don't think that you can do it, can you
4. We don't believe that the news is true, is it
II). 反意疑问句的陈述部分为非第一人称主语+think (believe,suppose,consider)+that从句时,问句部分的助动词和主语与陈述部分的助动词和主语保持一致。
eg.1. They all think that English is very useful, don't they
2. He didn't think that the news is true, did he
三.宾语从句的特点 (主现从随便,主过从必过,真理永一现)
1.宾语从句可以作及物动词、介词及形容词的宾语。
2.宾语从句的语序一律用陈述句语序。
3.连接词that引导宾语从句在句中无词义,不充当句子成份,多数情况下可以省略。
4.whether和if 都可引导宾语从句,但 whether后可紧跟or not;whether从句可作介词的宾语。
5.如果从句太长,可以用形式宾语it.
