Grammar 結(jié)構(gòu)形式：Noun clauses as the object and predicative 名詞性從句 賓語從句 表語從句名詞性從句相當(dāng)于名詞，可分別作主句的主語、表語、賓語和同位語。因此，名詞性從句可分為主語從句、表語從句 、賓語從句和同位語從句。（1）賓語從句賓語從句在復(fù)合句中起賓語作用，可以作動詞的賓語，也可以作介詞的賓語。引導(dǎo)賓語從句詞有:連詞that，if，whether；連接代詞who，whose，what，which；連接副詞when，where，how， why等。The Object Clausee.g. 1)I think (that) women can reach very high achievements in many fields of science.2) I wonder whether/if she remembered how many babies she had delivered.3) Do you know who/whom Jack was speaking to?4) He asked whose car it was.5) Pay attention to what the doctor said.6) Please tell me when the earthquake took place.7) Will you tell me how I can keep fit and healthy?做動詞的賓語(1)大部分賓語從句直接跟在動詞后： e.g. He doesn't know where the post office is. (2)有些賓語從句前要有間接賓語： e.g. He told me what I should read(3)如果賓語從句后面有賓語補(bǔ)足語，要使用形式賓語 it 而將從句放到補(bǔ)足語后面； e.g. I thought it strange that he failed to call me 我覺得奇怪：他沒給我打電話。(4)在think, believe, suppose, expect等動詞之后的賓語從句中，如果從句謂語是否定含義，則不用否定形式,而將主句謂語動詞think等變?yōu)榉穸ㄐ问? e.g. I dont think you are right 我想你是不對的。(5) 在think，believe，imagine，suppose，guess，hope等動詞以及 Im afraid 等后，可用so代替一個肯定的賓語從句，還可用not代替一個否定的賓語從句：e.g. 一Do you believe it will clear up? 你認(rèn)為天氣會轉(zhuǎn)晴嗎? 一I believe so. 我認(rèn)為會這樣。 I don't believe so. (或I believe not.) 我認(rèn)為不會這樣。做介詞的賓語(1) 一般情況下，賓語從句直接跟在謂語后; e.g. Did she say anything about how we should do the work? (2) that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句只有在except, in, but, besides等少數(shù)介詞后偶爾可能用到; e.g. Your article is all right except that it is too long(3) 有時在介詞和其賓語從句的中間加形式賓語 it; e.g. Ill see to it that everything is ready (2) 表語從句在從句中作表語的從句稱作表語從句。1. that 引導(dǎo)的表語從句that 僅起連接作用，無意義，在句中不作任何成分，通常不可省略。這種從句往往是對主句主語的內(nèi)容起進(jìn)一步解釋的作用。e.g. The chance is that one smoker in four will die from smoking.2. whether 引導(dǎo)的表語從句連接詞whether起連接作用， 意為“是否、究竟、到底”（注意：if不能引導(dǎo)表語從句) 在句中也不作任何成分。e.g. The question is whether what man will turn up in time.3. what, which, who, whom, whose引導(dǎo)的表語從句連接代詞what, which, who, whom, whose除在句子中起連接作用外，還可在從句中從當(dāng)主語、表語、定語，且各有各的詞義。e.g. Tom is no longer what he used to be. The question is which of us should come first. The problem is who is really fit for the hard job. The important thing is whose name should be put on the top of the list.4. where, when, why, how引導(dǎo)的表語從句 連接副詞where, when, why, how除在句中起連接作用外，在從句中還充當(dāng)時間、地點(diǎn)、方式、原因狀語，本身具有詞義。e.g. Thats where I cant agree with you. This is why Sara was late for the meeting. This is how they overcome the difficulties. My strongest memory is when I attended an American wedding.5. 其他連詞as if, because, as, as though 引導(dǎo)的表語從句because引導(dǎo)表語從句通常只用于“This/That/It is because”結(jié)構(gòu)中。as if/though引導(dǎo)的表語從句常置于連系動詞look, seem, sound, be, become等后面，常用虛擬語氣，表示不存在的動作或狀態(tài)。e.g. It sounds as if/though somebody was knocking at the door. My anger is because you havent written to me for a long time.Step 4. Useful Structures and grammar exercises Consolidation exercises1. Go and get your coat. It's_you left it.
