Unit 2 Colours
Millie: Did you know there is a relationship between colours and moods?
Sandy: Certainly. I think colours influence our everyday lives in many ways.
Millie: How should we choose the colours for the rooms of a house?
Sandy: Most people think light colours are better than dark ones.
Millie: Yes. I notice light colours make rooms seem larger.
Sandy: Sure. I also know blue can make us feel relaxed.
Millie: Yes. My mum says blue is suitable for bedrooms. I also find some
people prefer orange for their dining rooms.
Sandy: True, but it depends on personal taste. Anyway, we should choose
the colour which makes us feel comfortable.

2. Our teacher told us that the earth goes around the sun.
3. Please tell me where she has gone.
4. I don’t know if he will come tonight.

B Object clauses introduced by if/whether
We use if or whether to introduce an object clause that expresses a yes/no question. Such an object clause often follows verbs such as ask, see, wonder and find out. The word order in the clause should be the same as that in a statement.
You may wonder if/whether colours influence our moods.
Sandy asks if/whether orange can cheer her up.
Is the sports bag made of cotton?

1. 当宾语从句是陈述句时(包括肯定句和否定句),要用连接词that引导。that在句中没有词义,不充当任何句子成分,因此在口语或非正式文体中常常被省略。
e.g. I’m think (that) blue is better than pink.
“I’m feeling blue” means (that) “I’m feeling sad”.
一、宾语从句的连接词(引导词)

a. 宾语从句可以跟在像know, think, believe, hope, mean这样的动词后面。
e.g. Some people believe that colours can influence our moods.
She hopes that yellow can bring her success.
b. 宾语从句还可以跟在像certain, sure, glad这样的表示情绪感受的形容词后面。
e.g. He is glad that the walls in his room are blue.
