语法探究：宾语从句
【牛刀小试1】完成句子
1.我认为你的答案是正确的。
I think____________________________________.
2.我希望你们玩得开心。
I hope___________________________.
3.我相信他会赢得演讲比赛。
I beleives____________________________________.
归纳1：从以上三个句子看，所缺部分在句子中做宾语。在英语中，在句子中充当宾语的句子就叫宾语从句。宾语从句是放在动词后面做宾语的句子。它一般由“引导词+主语+谓语+其他”构成，其语序是陈述句语序。
【牛刀小试2】选择题
1. Jim says_________he is having lunch.
A. that B. when C. what
2. My mother promises_________she will take me to Beijing Zoo next Summer.
A. how B. where C. that
3. I’m afraid_________ I can’t come to your party.
A. that B. if C. when
归纳2:以上三个句子都是陈述一件事情，引导词是that。现在我们一起探究that引导的宾语从句。
当主句的谓语动词是表示肯定的概念，如“希望，相信，认为，知道，说，答应，听见”时，后面的句子一般用that引导。I believe that he will finish his homework alone. I hope that he will succeed.
当主句是由“连系动词+形容词”构成的系表结构时，常用that引导的宾语从句。
【牛刀小试3】选择题
1. We thought_________somebody was moving about.
A. if B. / C. what
2. I hope_________it will be cooler up there.
A. / B. if C. how
归纳3：that引导的宾语从句用来陈述事实，that没有任何词汇意义，在从句中不做任何成分，在口语中常省略。

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning, In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford ” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
