?when, where, how, why
【归纳】做_______的句子叫做宾语从句。
句子结构：主句 +________+ 宾语从句。
语序：______________。
【课堂演练】连词（引导词）设计意图：Lead students to learn Object Clause.
一、that的用法
（1）当宾语从句由连词that引导，由于that在从句中不作任何成分，也没有任何具体意思，因此在口语或非正式文体中常省略。
Lin Tao feels (that) his own team is even better.
Do you think (that) it’s genuine?
（2）宾语从句中的连接词that在以下几种情况下不能省略：
A. 当一个动词带有两个或两个以上宾语从句时，此时第一个that 可以省略，第二个或第二个以后的that不可以省略。
Galileo’s observations show (that) Copernicus, another great astronomer, was right and that the earth moves around the sun, not the other way around.
B. 当that在从句作介词宾语时，that不可省掉。
He is a good student except______ ( that) he is a little careless.
C. 用it做形式宾语 that 引导的宾语从句中that 不能省。
We thought it strange ______ ( that) Xiao Wang did not come yesterday.
二、Whether / if的用法
whether或if引导的宾语从句，whether意思为 “是否”， if有两个意思，为“是否和如果”，两个引导词不能省略。
(1). Lily wanted to know her grandma liked the handbag.
(2). Let’s see we can find out some information about that city.
(3). She asked me she could borrow these books.
注意：whether和if的使用区别:
a) 当有or not时就用whether,不用if.
I don’t know________ or not I will stay.
b) 介词后面的宾语从句不能用if.
I worry about_______ I hurt her feeling.
练习：用if / whether填空 1. I asked her ____________ she had a bike. 2. We’re worried about _________ he is safe. 3. I don’t know _________ he is well or not.
三、当宾语从句是由疑问词（what, who, whom, which, whose when, where, how,
why等）引导，因为疑问词在从句中担任一定的句子成分，具有一定的意义，所以不可以省略。
Do you know he said just now?
I don’t remember we arrived.
I asked him I could get so much money.
Please tell me we will see.
Do you know time the plane leaves?
时态：1、如果主句是现在的时态 （包括一般现在时，现在进行时，现在完成时），从句的时态可根 据实际情况而定，（包括一般现在时，一般过去时，一般将来时，现在完成时等）。
Eg. I know he here ten years ago .(live)
2、如果主句是过去的时态（包括一般过去时，过去进行时），那么从句的时态一定要用相对应的过去的某种时态（包括一般过去时，过去进行时，过去将来时， 过去完成时）
Eg.I saw she her mother. (talk)
3、当从句是客观真理，定义，公理，定理时用一般现在时。

On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the 4 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 5 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.
