宾语从句时态口诀

口诀

宾语从句三姊妹,that,if/whether,wh-/how展风采。

展风采有三关,引导词、语序、时态在把关。

主从时态要一致,陈述语序永不变。

陈述请你选that,疑问需用if/whether连。

特殊问句作宾从,原来问词不用换。

三关过后莫得意,人称、标点需注意。

留意变脸的if/when,从句的简化记心间。

宾语从句的时态用法

1、主句是一般现在时,从句根据实际情况使用任何时态。例:

She says (that) she works from Monday to Friday.

她说她从周一至周五上班。(从句是一般现在时)

She says (that) she will leave a message on his desk.

她说她要在他桌子上留个便条。(从句是一般将来时)

2、主句是过去时态,从句须用过去时态的某种形式。例:

He said there were no classes yesterday afternoon.

他说昨天下午没有课。 (从句是一般过去时)

He said (that) he was going to take care of the baby.

他说他会去照看这个婴儿。 (从句是过去将来时)

3、当宾语从句表示的是一个客观真理或者事实时,即使主句是过去时,从句也用一般现在时态。例:

The teacher told us(that) nothing is difficult if we put our hearts into it.

老师告诉我们世上无难事,只怕有心人。

She said(that) her father is twenty-eight years older than her.

她说她父亲比她大二十八岁。

He said that light travels much faster than sound.

他说光比声音传播得快。

注意:当主句的谓语动词是think或believe,宾语从句要表达否定时,要把从句的否定转移到主句上。

I don't think he is going to help you with your English.

我认为他不会帮你学英语的。

这句话不可以翻译成:I think he isn't going to help you with your English.

如果宾语从句有它的补语时,宾语从句用it代替,从句后置。其句型为:主语+谓语+it+补语+宾语从句。

I think it necessary that we learn English grammar.

我认为我们学习英语语法是必要的。
