Object clause problem

Review content: inductive object clause test site

Review goal: 1, master all kinds of conjunctions that lead to object clauses, and master the word order of object clauses-subject+conjunction+subject+predicate.

3. Grasp the temporal echo of the object clause, the main clause and the clause.

Key points: word order and tense echo

Difficulties: word order and tense echo; And the conversion of interrogative words and infinitives; Discrimination of adverbial clauses

Test site combing:

First, the conjunction of the object clause:

1) when the object clause acts as a declarative sentence, it is guided by that and only plays a connecting role. It does not constitute a component in a clause and has no meaning, so it is often omitted.

I believe you are right. He said that the fastest way to travel is by air.

2) When the object clause acts as a general question, it is guided by if or when and plays a connecting role. In clauses, it is not used as a sentence component, but as a "yes or no" solution, and if is often used in spoken English.

Tom doesn't know whether his grandfather likes this gift. He asked me if I would come.

Generally speaking, if and the are interchangeable, but the can only be used in the following three situations:

When to go or not has not been decided.

It depends on when it rains.

Used with or not: They are talking about going there or not.

1, 3) When the object clause acts as a special interrogative sentence, the special interrogative word is a leading word, connecting pronouns who who, who, who, what, which, and connecting adverbs when, where, why and how, which serve as sentence components and have their own meanings.

The teacher asked the new student which class he was in. I don't know where he got so much money.

Note that 1, the object clauses guided by conjunctions and adverbs can be transformed into the structure of "interrogative words+infinitives".

I don't know what to do with these gifts. I don't know what to do with these gifts.

2. Pay attention to distinguish and judge the types of clauses guided by if and when.

Second, the word order of the object clause:

The word order of the object clause is the declarative word order, that is, "conjunction+subject+predicate+other components". It is especially emphasized that the word order of its subject and predicate is the declarative word order, not the inverted sentence order of the question.

Can you tell me who we want to see? Can you tell me who we want to see? ( √)

The teacher asked the students what they were doing.

When a declarative sentence becomes an object clause, we should pay attention to the change of person and tense, and the word order remains unchanged. She said, "I'll leave a note on the table." She said she would leave a note on the table.

When general interrogative sentences and special interrogative sentences become object clauses, we should also pay attention to the changes of person and tense, followed by the statement of word order. "Where are the tickets?" I asked him. I asked him where the ticket was.

Third, the tense echo of the object clause:

The tense of the predicate verb in the object clause is often restricted by the predicate tense of the main sentence, which is a tense echo. If the main clause predicate is simple present tense or future tense, the tense of the clause predicate is not limited; If the tense of the main clause predicate is the simple past tense, the clause should be changed to the corresponding past tense (simple past tense, past continuous tense, past future tense, past perfect tense).

I thought you were free today. I thought you would be free today. ( √)

Note that when the object clause describes the objective truth, regardless of the tense of the main clause predicate, the clause uses the simple present tense.

The teacher told us that the earth moves around the sun.

Four, other issues that need to be explained:

1. Punctuation is determined by the main clause. If the main sentence is declarative or imperative, use a period; If it is a question, use a question mark.

I heard that she has been to the Great Wall. Can you tell me which bus I should take?

2. Pay attention to the consistency of the subject and clause in a single sentence.

3. Additional interrogative sentences of object clauses

When the complex sentence of the object clause becomes an ambiguous question, if the predicate verbs of the main sentence are think, guess, believe, posture, etc. And the subject is the first person, and the additional part should be decided by the clause; If the main clause is not think and the above verbs or predicate verbs are these words and the subject is not the first person, the additional part is determined by the main clause. For example:

I think he is right, isn't he? I don't think he is a student, is he?

He thinks she will come tonight, doesn't he? He never said that he was a good student, did he?

▲ 5. The difference between an object clause and an adverbial clause:

If it is fine tomorrow, I will go out. I don't know whether the train has arrived.

If the sentence 1 leads to an adverbial clause. This clause means "condition" and modifies the main clause. If it is fine tomorrow, I will go out. I don't know if an object clause is introduced in sentence 2 and serves as the object of the predicate verb. I don't know whether the train has arrived.

Judgment method:

1, as can be seen from the whole sentence pattern. Adverbial clauses can generally be placed before or after the main sentence (except for a few), and object clauses can only be placed after the predicate verb of the main sentence.

2. Judging from the introduction. If acts as a conjunction of the object clause, indicating whether or not, and if acts as a conjunction of the adverbial clause, indicating if. When it acts as a conjunction of an object clause, it means "when", and when it acts as a conjunction of an adverbial clause, it means "when".

3. Look at tenses. When if and when are used as conjunctions, it should be noted that the tense of the predicate verb of the clause changes according to the tense of the main clause. When if and when act as subordinate conjunctions, guiding conditions and adverbial clauses of time. The predicate verb of the main clause is in the general future tense, and the tense of the clause is in the general present tense to indicate the future.

Sixth, the special practice of object clauses

1. Join the following sentences into compound sentences with object clauses.

1. These flowers are from Guangdong. He said.

He said that these flowers came from Guangdong.
