3、时态:一般说来,主从句时态要统一。如果主句是一般现在时,从句可根据需要用其它任何时态;如果主句是一般过去时,从句应该用相应的过去时态范畴(也就是用一般过去时,过去进行时,过去将来时,过去完成时)。
eg.①Lily wanted to know
whether her grandma liked the handbag.
②I asked the teacher where we would have the meeting. ③Could you tell me
how I can get to the zoo?
如果从句表明的是一个客观事实或真理,那么无论主句是什么时态,从句都只能用一般现在时。 eg. The teacher told us that light travels much faster than sound.
注意:在think后的宾语从句,如果需要表示否定意义,一般不在宾语从句中否定,而是在主句中否定。 eg. I don’t think that
English is easy. I think that
English is not easy. ( 误)
