4. 情态动词could /
would用于“请求”,表示委婉、客气的语气时,从句时态不受主句的约束。
Excuse me, could you tell me when __the new Olympic Center? [沈阳市] www.zk5u.co
A. are we visited B
will we visit C
we are visited D
we will visit
[答案]D。
[解析]考查宾语从句的用法。从句要用陈述句语序,而且时态要与主句一致。从句意看本句不能用被动语态,故排除A、c。本题考查的是以when引导的宾语从句。B没用陈述句语序,故排除,此处could只表委婉的语气,并不表过去。
----Could
you tell me whom the radio _________by?
一Sorry,I have no idea.[福州市]
A. invents B
invented C
is invented D.was invented
[答案]D。[解析]考查宾语从句的时态和语态的用法。从句中的主语是谓语动词动作的承受者,这时应使用被动语态,这样A、B两项可以排除。我们还应考虑到,收音机的“发明”一定是过去的事情,所以该句的时态应是一般过去时,谓语的构成为“was/were+动词的过去分词”。
(年河北)I didn’t understand __________, so
I raised my hand to ask..
A.
what my teacher says B. what does my teacher say
C.
what my teacher said D. what did my teacher say
答案为C。本题为宾语从句,由于需要用陈述语序可排除B、D;另外,主句时态为一般过去时,则从句也要用对应的过去时态,故还可排除A。
