(一)连接词。特殊疑问句作宾语从句时不需要再加连接词,疑问词就是连接词,并且不能省略。
I ask what you are doing now.
我问你现在正在干什么?
(二)词序。用“特殊疑问词+陈述句”的词序,与一般疑问句变宾语从句时基本相同。
He didn’t tell me when we would meet again.
他没告诉我什么时候我们再见面。
连接词
宾语从句是由陈述句转化成的,连接词用that;
宾语从句是由一般疑问句转化成的,连接词用if或whether;
宾语从句是由特殊疑问句转化成的,连接词直接用特殊疑问词(如who, what, why, where, whose)做引导词,后面变为陈述语序。
如:
I wonder if he is a driver.
我想知道他是否是个司机。
Do you know where I can get a dictionary?
你知道我在哪里能买到词典吗?
语序
不管什么类型的宾语从句,总是用陈述句语序,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。
I shall write to you what I want to say.
我会写给你我想说的话。
I don’t know who wants to borrow these magazines.
我不知道谁想借这些杂志。
时态
主句和从句的时态须保持一致。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,从句只能用过去的某种时态(包括一般过去时、过去进行时、过去完成时、过去将来时等)。
I’m sorry to hear that your mother is ill.
听说你母亲病了,我很难过。
She didn’t know that Tom had left for Shanghai.
她不知道汤姆已去了上海。
