从句的语序.doc

Unit 1New Practical English Book从句的语序在英语复合句时，除了需要注意照应主句的时态，人称，连接词语等等之外，还应特别注意从句部分的语序。英语中从句经常用疑问词（wh-word）引导，如what, who等，但与疑问词引导的简单句不同。从句不使用疑问句语序，而使用陈述句语序，即主语在前，谓语在后的顺序排列。还应注意，因为从句不使用疑问倒装结构，所以一般现在时和一般过去时不再用do, does, did等助动词构成从句结构。试比较一下句子：疑问句：What is he doing?宾语从句：I dont know what he is doing.疑问句：When will they go?主语从句：When they will go hasnt been decided.疑问句：What does he want to know?表语从句：Thats what she wants to know.1.常用来引导从句的疑问词有what, when, where, who, whether, how等，这些疑问词一般仍保留原有的疑问含义。She wanted to know when my brother had visited Paris.They wondered why we would like to join them.Could you please tell me where we are going?Its hard for me to tell which one I like better.How he plays the trick is a secret.2.whether可以引导主语从句，if 不能引导主语从句，但是两者都能引导宾语从句。引导宾语从句时，两者都表示“是否”的意思， 只是if后面不能加or not.主语从句：Whether he will accept the job is difficult to say.Whether you will like it or not has nothing to do with me.宾语从句She wanted to know whether/if my brother had visited Paris.They wondered whether/ if we would like to join them.Could you please tell me whether or not we are going there, too?Its hard for me to tell whether /if I like that one better.3.疑问词一般可以用来引导主语从句，宾语从句及表语从句。要特别注意这些从句的语序。主语从句的语序：Why he didnt accept our invitation still puzzles me.Whether he comes or not matters little to me.How you can get such an experience is a key point.What he says is not always true.宾语从句的语序：I dont understand why he didnt accept our invitation.I dont mind whether he comes or not.表语从句The key point is how you can get such an experience.The fact turns out to be what he never expected.4.when, where等若用来引导状语从句，它们不再是疑问词，也不具有疑问含义，因此它们的语序亦应为陈述句的语序。状语从句的语序When she visited the famous museum in Paris, she met my brother.Could you stay for a while where you are now?定语从句She still remembers the day when she met my brother in Paris.Could you please tell me the place where you met for the first time?Completes the following sentences：1.
