Step 3 Grammar Focus
Review and explain the grammar in Section A
宾语从句的概念
在句子中起宾语作用的从句叫做宾语从句。
We know Mr Green teaches English.
She asked if these answers were right.
特殊疑问词引导的宾语从句
1.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？
I wonder what I should do next? 我想知道下一步我该做什么？
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主从复合句中，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。
(2)确保从句语序正确。
(3)确定从句时态。
Step 4 4a
Rewrite the questions to make them more polite.
