The Object Clause (宾语从句)
宾语从句是英语中用来充当宾语的句子。带有宾语从句的那个句子叫主句。宾语从句一般由“引导词+主语+谓语+其它”构成
1．语序
无论主句是陈述句还是疑问句，宾语从句都必须使用陈述语序，即“主句＋连词＋宾语从句（主语＋谓语＋……）”句式。
Could you tell me who knows the answer，please？你能告诉我谁知道答案吗？
Do you know which class he is in ？你知道他在哪个班吗？
She asked me if I knew whose pen it was．她问我是否知道这是谁的钢笔。
2．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。
如： He said that he could finish his work before supper．
他说他会在晚饭前完成工作。
2）当由一般疑问句充当宾语从句时，用if或whether引导，意为“是否”。如： I don't know if ／whether he still lives here after so many years．
我不知道这么多年后他是否还住在这儿。
3） 当从句时特殊疑问句是，则根据实际情况用特殊疑问词引导。
如： Could you tell me what I should do with the money ？
你能告诉我我如何处理这笔钱吗？
The teacher asked us how many people there were in the room．
老师问我们房间里有多少人。
3．时态
含宾语从句的复合句，主、从句谓语动词的时态呼应应包括以下三点内容：
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实际情况使用任何时态。如：
I don't know when he will come back．我不知道他将何时回来。
He tells me that his sister came back yesterday．他告诉我他姐姐昨天回来了。
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。如：①The children didn't know who he was．孩子们不知道他是谁。
②He asked his father how it happened．他问他父亲这件事是如何发生的。
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。如：
The teacher said that the earth goes round the sun．老师说地球绕着太阳转。
4.注意：
1） 主句的谓语动词是say, think, tell, know, hear, see, feel, mean, hope, wish, remember, forget等时，或主句的谓语动词是由形容词afraid, glad, sure, sorry等作表语的系表结构时，后面常接that引导的宾语从句。that本身无词义，在从句中不作任何成分，在口语中或非正式文体中常常可被省略。
e.g. He says that he wants to speak to the headmaster.
I’m sorry (that) he isn’t here right now.
2） 宾语从句的否定转移：
主句是I/We think/believe等时，从句中的否定习惯上要转移到主句中。如：我认为鸡不会游泳。
误：I think chickens can not swim.
正：I don’t think chickens can swim.
此外，上述情况在变成反意疑问句时，附加疑问句要看从句，（如果主句的主语不是第一人称，则附加疑问句要看主句）。试比较：
I think he is wrong, isn’t he
He thinks he is right, doesn’t he
3）避免重复出现连接代词或连接副词；
e.g. *I can’t see that what is over there. （应去掉that）英语宾语从句专项试题
