1)Excuse me, do you know…? 2) Could you please tell me…?
3)Can you tell me …? 4)I wonder…?
这些对话会发生在朋友之间还是陌生人之间？__________
礼貌性
陌生人
Excuse me, do you know where I can buy some medicine? Sure. There’s a supermarket down the street.
Could you please tell me how to get to the post office? Sorry, I’m not sure how to get there.
Can you tell me when the band starts playing this evening? It starts at 8:00 p.m.
I wonder where we should go next. You should try that new ride over there.
还记得什么是宾语从句吗？一起来复习一下吧！
(1) 宾语是句子的重要成分之一，在多数情况下，是由名词性的词类充当的。如果宾语部分是由一个句子充当的话，则被称为___________。宾语从句的三要素——时态、语序、连接词。
(2) 宾语从句是陈述句时，连接词用_______；宾语从句是一般疑问句时，连接词用_____或_______；宾语从句是特殊疑问句时，连接词直接用_______________做引导词，后面变为陈述语序，如who, what, why, where, whose等。
宾语从句
that
if
whether
特殊疑问词
(3) 时态：如果主句为一般现在时，从句可根据需要选择各种时态；
如果主句是一般过去时，从句只能用________的某种时态（包括一般过去时、过去进行时、过去完成时、过去将来时等）；
如果宾语从句表示的是客观真理，其谓语动词则用_____________。
(4) 语序：不管什么类型的宾语从句，总是用________语序。即：从句的连接词后是主语、谓语、宾语的语序。当连接词做主语时，后面直接跟谓语和宾语。
特殊疑问词引导的宾语从句
当宾语从句是特殊疑问句时，用疑问词作引导词。特殊疑问词引导宾语从句时，特殊疑问词不可省略，而且宾语从句要用陈述句语序。
Where will we have a meeting?
我们将在哪儿开会？
— Could you please tell me where we will have
a meeting?
您能告诉我我们将在哪儿开会吗？
What should I do next?
下一步我该做什么？
我想知道下一步我该做什么？
— I wonder what I should do next?
2. 含宾语从句的复合句与简单句的相互转换
含有疑问词引导的宾语从句的复合句中，若主句的主语或宾语与从句的主语一致，则宾语从句可以变成“疑问词+动词不定式”的形式。
I don’t know how I should do it next.
I don’t know how to do it next.
我不知道下一步应该怎样做。
3. 改写宾语从句的三个关键点：
(1)确定从句的引导词：宾语从句的引导词要根
据从句句式来确定，其对应情况如下表：
(2)确保从句语序正确：无论原句是何种句式，宾语从句要用陈述语序。P2536384449

Underline the topic sentence for each paragraph.
Could You Please ...?
When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, you may ask“ Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” These are similaradj. 相似的 requests请求 for directions方位/向. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite.That is because it is a very directadj. 直接的 question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help.
less + 形容词或副词, 构成降级比较形式, 相当于中文“不那么; 稍许不……”之意
e.g. His second movie is less interesting.他的第二部电影就没那么有趣。
Good speakers change the way they speak in different situations. The expressions表述，表达 they use might可能/或许 depend on whom they are speaking to or how well they know each other. It is all right可以/正确的 to ask direct questions直接的问题 to your classmates because you know them well. However, If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip旅行?”, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?”, this will sound much more polite.
情态动词might 表达一种可能性及推测的不确定性, 意思与表达可能性的may相当, 表示“有可能, 也许会”, 但语气更加委婉, 更不确定。
e.g. He might come, but it’s very unlikely不太可能的；没希望的. 他也许会来，但非常靠不住。
Usually polite questions are longer. They include expressions such as比如；诸如 “Could you please ...?” or “May I ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Sometimes we even need to spend time leading into 引导/导入a request. For example, we might first say to a stranger, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.
spend/cost/pay/take??
spend的主语通常是人，往往用于以下句型：??
(1)(sb)spend money/?time?on?sth.
(2) (sb)spend money/some?time(in)doing?sth.
例如：I?spent?fifty?yuan?on?the?coat.?=I spent?fifty?yuan (in)buying the?coat.
cost主语是物
sth. cost （sb.）+金钱 e.g.The computer costs a lot of money.
take “占用、花费”主语为“it”或物
(1)It takes sb. +时间 to do sth. 做某事花某人多少时间 e.g. It took my two hours to do my homework.
(2)doing sth. takes sb.+时间 Doing my homework took my two hours.
pay 付款、赔偿，主语为人
(1)sb. pays money for sth./pay sb.(some money for sth.)
I paid 5yuan for this pen. How much did you pay him?
It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations. This will help you communicate better with other people.
it作形式主语
在英语中, 如果主语是较长的动词不定式或一个句子, 为了保持句子结构的平衡, 避免头重脚轻, 通常用it作形式主语放在句首, 而把真正的主语放在句尾。
常见的句型有：
1) It is + adj. (+ ____ + sb.) + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等, 用来对to do sth. 进行说明。
2) It is + adj. + ____ + sb. + to do sth. 常用于此句型的形容词有good, kind, nice, clever, wise等, 用来对sb.的性格、品质等进行说明。
It’s kind you to say so.
It’s difficult us to finish the work in an hour.
