教学过程
Step 1 Revision
Let Ss read the object clauses of these sentences.
Step 2 Learning about grammar
Teach students to learn the object clauses.
一、什么是从句
一个句子在另一个句子中作句子成分，即从属于另一个句子，这个句子就叫从句，另一个句子叫主句。
二、什么是宾语从句？
位于谓语动词或介词之后作宾语的句子，叫宾语从句。
I think she is from England. 我认为她来自英国。
主句 宾语从句
三、宾语从句有几种类型？
宾语从句有三种类型：that引导的宾语从句，if或whether引导的宾语从句和疑问词引导的宾语从句。
四、that引导的宾语从句
当谓语动词表示肯定的概念，如“希望”“相信”“知道”“说”时，后面的宾语从句用that引导。that没有任何词汇意义，只具有语法功能，目的是让读者清楚后面的句子作前面谓语动词的宾语，多数情况下that可以省略。
I hope (that) she will come back soon.
我希望她很快就会回来。
Betty thinks (that) animals are our good friends.
贝蒂认为动物是我们的好朋友。
[注意]
(1)并非所有的动词后面都可以跟that引导的宾语从句。常见的可以接that引导的宾语从句的动词有：believe, hope, wish, say, explain, feel, imagine, prefer, promise, report, tell, think等。
(2)主句并不只是肯定句，也可以是否定句或一般疑问句。
I don’t think (that) he is right. 我认为他不对。
Does Mary know (that) Lingling is a Chinese girl?
玛丽知道玲玲是一个中国女孩吗？
五、宾语从句的时态
1.主句是一般现在时态，从句时态根据实际情况而定。
I’m sure (that) he is at home now. 我确定现在他在家。
Lily thinks (that) Mr Black will drive back soon.
莉莉认为布莱克先生会很快开车回来。
2.主句是一般过去时态,从句用相应的过去时态。
I didn’t know (that) he was at home.
我当时不知道他在家里。
I thought (that) Mr King would go to work on foot.
我认为金先生将步行上班。
3.表示客观真理的宾语从句，不管主句是什么时态，一律用一般现在时态。
My teacher tells me (that) the earth goes around the sun.
我老师告诉我地球绕着太阳转。
I knew (that) one and one is two when I was a child.
当我是一个小孩的时候我就知道１加１等于２。
