宾语从句
一、宾语从句的概念
宾语从句是一种名词性从句,在句中作及物动词的宾语,或介词的宾语,或形容词的宾语。
【例】1.We know Mr Green teaches English. (动词宾语)
2. Miss Zhang is angry at what you said. (介词宾语)
二、宾语从句三要素
I love what you gave me.
1 连接词
1). 当由陈述句充当宾语从句时,用that引导,that无词义,在口语或非正式文体中常省略.
【例】1.She told me (that) she would like to go with us.
2. He said (that )he could finish his work before supper.
2).当由一般疑问句或者选择疑问句充当宾语从句时,用if或whether引导,意为“是否”。
【例】1.I don't know if /whether he still lives here after so many years.
2.He asked me whether (if) I could help him.
但在下列情况下只能用whether
在具有选择意义,又有or或or not时,尤其是直接与or not连用时,往往用whether。
【例】Let me know whether he will come or not.(=Let me know whether or not he will come)
I wonder whether we stay or whether we go.
② 在介词之后用whether。
【例】I'm interested in whether he likes English.我关心的是他是否喜欢英语。
I worry about whether I hurt her feelings.我担心是否伤了她的感情。
③ 在不定式前用whether。
【例】He hasn't decided whether to visit the old man.他尚未决定是否拜访那位老人。
I don't know whether to go.我不知去否。
He hasn't decided whether to go by bus or by train.他还未决定是乘公共汽车去还是坐火车去。
④ whether置于句首时,不能换用if。
【例】Whether this is true or not,I can't say.这是否真的我说不上来。
⑤若用if会引起歧义时,则用whether。
如:Please let me know if you like the book.
可理解为:a. Please let me know whether you like the book.请告诉我你是否喜欢这本书。
b. If you like the book, please let me know.你如果喜欢这本书,请告诉我。
3). 如果宾语从句原来是特殊疑问句,只需用原来的特殊疑问词引导。
【例】1.I don’t know why the train is late.
2. The teacher asked the new students which class he was in.
2. 语序
宾语从句的语序是陈述语序,即“连接词+主语+谓语+其它成分”。
【例】1.I think (that) you will like this school soon.
2. Can you tell me how I can get to zoo
3.She asked me if I knew whose pen it was.
注意:如果what’s wrong / what’s the matter在句中充当宾语从句,语序不变。如果疑问词what或who在从句中作主语,其引导的句子作宾语从句时语序也不变。
【例题精讲】
例1. I want to know what’s wrong with you.
例2. She doesn’t know what’s the matter with him.
例3. Jack didn’t know what happened.
例4. I want to know what’s on the desk.
3. 时态
1).如果主句的谓语动词是一般现在时,从句的谓语动词可根据需要,选用相应的任何时态。
【例】1.I don't know when he will come back.
2.He tells me that his sister came back yesterday.
2). 如果主句的谓语动词是过去时,宾语从句的谓语动词只可根据需要,选用过去时态即一般过去时、过去进行时、过去将来时或过去完成时的某一种形式。
【例】1.She says that she is a student. (ⅹ)
She said that she was a student. (√)
2. She says that she will fly to Japan in a week. (ⅹ)
She said that she would fly to Japan in a week. (√)
3. She says that she has finished her homework already. (ⅹ)
She said that she had finished her homework already. (√)
3).如果宾语从句所表示的是客观事实、普遍真理、自然现象或习惯性动作等,不管主句用什么时态,从句时态都用一般现在时。
【例】1.The teacher said that the earth goes round the sun.
2. He told me that Japan is an island country.
注意:如果主句中出现could you/would you, 这些不是过去时,而只是表示委婉语气,用法视为一般现在时,所以从句依具体时态而定。
Could you tell me how I can get to the library
Could you tell us if he has been to the Great Wall
三、宾语从句注意要点
if和when既可以引导宾语从句,也可以引导状语从句,应注意它们在两种从句中的意思和用法的不同。if和when引导宾语从句时,分别意为“是否”和“何时”,其时态应和主句时态相呼应;它们引导状语从句时,意思分别为“如果,假如”和“当……时候”,当主句时态是一般将来时时,其时态用一般现在时。它们常常放在含有状语从句和宾语从句的题干中进行综合考查。
【例】1.—Do you know when he will come back tomorrow ?你知道他明天什么时候回来吗?
—Sorry, I don't know. When he comes back, I'll tell you. 对不起,不知道。当他回来了,我将告诉你。
2.—I don't know if he will come.我不知道他是否会来。
—He will come if it doesn't rain.如果不下雨,他会来的。
四、宾语从句的简化
方法一:
当主句谓语动词是hope, decide, wish, choose, agree, promise(和主观决定有关)等,且宾语从句的主语与主句主语一致时,宾语从句可简化为不定式结构。
【例】Li Ming hopes he will be back very soon. →Li Ming hopes to be back very soon.
We decided that we would help him. →We decided to help him.
方法二:
当主句谓语动词是know, learn, remember, forget, tell(和记忆认知有关)等动词,且主句主语与从句主语一致时,宾语从句可简化为“疑问词+不定式”结构。
【例】She has forgotten how she can open the window. →She has forgotten how to open the window.
【例】Could you tell me how I can get to the station? →Could you tell me how to get to the station?
方法三:
当主句的谓语动词是order(命令),require(需要)等时,如果主句和从句的主语不一致,宾语从句可简化为“名词(代词)+不定式”结构。
【例】The headmaster ordered that we should start at once. → The headmaster ordered us to start at once.
方法四:
某些动词后的宾语从句,可以用介词加动名词(短语)等其他形式简化。
【例】He insisted that he should go with us. →He insisted on going with us.
The poor boy doesn’t know when and where he was born.
→The poor boy doesn’t know the time and the place of his birth.
方法五:
某些动词后面的宾语从句可转化为“宾语+V-ing形式(作宾语补足语)”结构。
【例】Liu Ping found that there was a wallet lying on the ground. → Liu Ping found a wallet lying on the ground.
方法六:
动词seem后的宾语从句,也可以用不定式(短语)来简化,但句型需要进行适当的变化。
【例】It seemed that the boys were going to win. →The boys seemed to win.
特殊句式的转化:
【例】I found that it was difficult to learn English well. →I found it difficult to learn English well.
Soon we found that the ground was covered with thick snow. →Soon we found the ground covered with thick snow.
五、宾语从句的反义疑问句
主句的谓语动词是think, believe, imagine, suppose, consider, expect, fancy, guess等,并且主句的主语是第一人称而且为一般现在时, 宾语从句的否定词一般要转移到主句上来, 其反义疑问句一般与宾语从句一致。
I think he isn’t a student.(×)
I don’t think he is a student.(√)
I don’t think he is a student,
如果宾语从句中有某个含有否定意义的形容词或副词,其反义疑问句要用肯定形式.
We find that he never listens to the teacher carefully, does he

参考答案:
1.B
【详解】句意:英语学习本身并不难。你投入多少,决定了你能否学好。
考查宾语从句。who you can ask for help您可以向谁寻求帮助;whether you can learn it well你能否学好;that you can take the lead你可以带头;why you began to learn English你为什么开始学习英语。根据“How much you devote”可知是你投入多少,因此是决定是否能学好,应用whether引导的宾语从句。故选B。
2.D
【详解】句意:——你认识Lin Yen-chen,那个来自台湾的人吗?我想知道他周围是否有很多朋友。——那当然了。他总是关心他人。
考查宾语从句。宾语从句应该用陈述句语序,所以“Why does he do well in playing the piano”错误;由答句“he does”可知,wonder后面的宾语从句应该用一般现在时,且“does”指代的是实义动词而非系动词。故选D。
3.B
【详解】句意:——你认为这个故事怎么样?——我不知道故事是否是真的,但是我真的喜欢它令人惊讶的结尾。
考查宾语从句。宾语从句从句应用陈述语序,故排除C和D;又由“I really like its surprising ending”可知,说话人看过这个故事。故选B。
4.B
【详解】句意:——小说《金银岛》是吸引人的。——的确是。你能告诉我我是否能再借一个星期吗?
考查宾语从句。根据“Could you tell me”可知此处应填宾语从句,could表委婉语气,时态为一般现在时,所以此处宾语从句时态为现在的相应时态,而宾语从句的语序为陈述句语序,且主句为问句,引导词不能用that,故选B。
5.C
【详解】句意:——彼得,关于名人,你还有什么想知道的吗?——是的,我还在想袁隆平是否致力于解决饥饿问题。
考查宾语从句。分析题干可知,此处为宾语从句;根据宾语从句语序原则,宾语从句要用陈述句语序,选项A为疑问句语序,应排除;选项B从句时态应用一般过去时,故排除;根据“wonder”可判断引导词应为“是否”,选项D不符合题意,也应排除。故选C。
6.C
【详解】句意:——我想知道戴夫是否拿到了驾照。——我不确定,也许是的。
考查宾语从句。宾语从句是陈述语序,即“连接词+主谓+其他”,所以A选项错误;根据回答“Maybe yes.”可知,或许是的,所以宾语从句是一般疑问句,即连接词是if或whether,所以B选项错误;D选项中whether...or...是选择疑问句,所以D选项错误。故选C。
7.D
【详解】句意:——我听说考完试我们要去金龙景区春游。——太好了。但我怀疑这是不是真的。

9.B
【详解】句意:虽然新冠肺炎不再是国际关注的公共卫生紧急事件,但我们仍然需要确保老年人接种疫苗。
考查宾语从句。宾语从句要用陈述句语序,排除A/D选项;结合语境“Though COVID-19 is no longer a public health emergency of international concern”可知,此处应该是说老年人要接种疫苗,故选B。
10.C
【详解】句意:警察没有逮捕那个外科医生,因为他们从不怀疑他与这个案子有关。
考查宾语从句。doubt用在否定句中,后跟that引导的宾语从句,排除BD;根据“The police did not arrest the surgeon”可知是不怀疑他与这个案子有关,排除A。故选C。
11.B
【详解】句意:——你确定他能自己做吗?——是的,当然。
考查宾语从句。be sure+that从句,表“确定……”,be not sure+if/whether/wh-从句,表“不确定……”。故选B。
12.B
【详解】句意:许多人认为电视剧《去有风的地方》中那个有风小院值得一游。
考查宾语从句。whether是否;visiting参观,动名词/现在分词;that引导宾语从句时无实际意义;a visit参观,visit为名词;if是否;to visit动词不定式,visit为动词。根据“Many people think...the windy yard (有风小院) in the TV play Meet yourself is well worth...”可知,人们认为电视剧里的那个小院值得一游,think后从句为陈述意思,连接词用that,排除A和C;又因固定短语be well worth a visit表示“值得一游”,空处需填名词。故选B。
13.C
【详解】句意:“我怕别的学校的孩子会笑话他,” 他不安地解释道。
考查谓语动词时态。根据题干可知是that引导的宾语从句,主句时态是一般过去时,从句也应用过去时。故选C。
14.D
【详解】句意:既然科学技术发展如此迅速,你认为五十年后我们会看到什么?
考查宾语从句。what是特殊疑问句的引导词,所以主句是疑问句语序,expect后是一个宾语从句,从句用陈述句语序。故选D。
15.C
【详解】句意:我们从不怀疑故宫博物院值得参观 。
考查宾语从句和非谓语动词。doubt表示“怀疑”,在肯定句中后接if/whether从句,否定句和疑问句中接that从句,never“从不”表否定概念,因此用that。be worth doing sth.“值得做某事”。故选C。
