(1)当主句的谓语动词是一般现在时时,其宾语从句的时态可以是任何适当的时态。如:
①She says(that)she works from Monday to Friday.她说她周一至周五上班。(从句是一般现在时)
②she 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)
③She says(that)she has never been to Mount Emei.她说她从来没有去过峨眉山。(从句是现在完成时)

①He said there were no classes yesterday afternoon.他说昨天下午没有课。(从句是一般过去时)
②He 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)
③He said that they were having a meeting at that time.他说他们那时正在开会。(从句是过去进行时)
(3)当宾语从句是表达客观真理和规律的句子时,其时态仍旧用一般现在时。如:

②He said that light travels much faster than sound.他说光比声音传播得快。 特别提示
在使用宾语从句时需要注意下面几点:
(1)动词find,feel,think,consider,make,believe,guess,suppose,assume等后有宾语补足语时,则需要用it作形式宾语,而将that宾语从句后置。如:
①I think it necessary that we take plenty of boiled water every day.我认为每天多喝开水是有必要的。
②I have made it a rule that I keep diaries.我每天写日记成了惯例。
(2)hate,like,take,owe,have,take for granted等表示“喜欢;痛恨;认为”的动词或动词短语和see to表示“注意,留意”后有宾语补足语时,需要用it作形式宾语而将宾语从句后置。如:
①I hate it when they talk with their mouth full of food.我讨厌他们满嘴食物说话。
②When you start the engine,you must see to it that the car is in neutral.启动发动机时,一定要使汽车的离合器处于空档位置。
(3)介词后的宾语从句。如:
①She is always thinking of how she can do more for others.她总想着如何才能为别人做得更多。
②We are talking about whether we admit students into our club.我们正在讨论是否让学生加入我们的俱乐部。
(4)宾语从句的否定转移。将think,believe,suppose,expect,fancy,imagine等动词后面宾语从句的否定词转移到主句中,即主句的谓语动词用否定式,而从句的谓语动词用肯定式。如:
①I don’t think I know you.我想我并不认识你。
②I don’t believe he will come.我相信他不回来。
(5) 在于表示命令、建议、要求等一类词后面的宾语从句谓语用 should +动词原形(insist, order, command, suggest, advise, propose, require, request, demand, desire )
We suggested that the meeting (should) be put off. 考点3、表语从句 从属连词 that, whether, as if, as thought (不作成分) 连接代词 what, who, whom, whose, which, wh+ever (作成分) 连接副词 when, where, how, why.because (作状语) 1.连接词引导 ①The reason for his absence is that he hasn’t been informed.他缺席的原因就是他没接到通知。
②The question remains whether they will be able to help us.问题还是他们能否帮我们。
2.连接代词和连接副词引导
①The problem is who will take charge of this shop.问题是谁将接管这家店铺。 ②That is when I realized the importance of journalism.那时我才意识到新闻工作的重要性。
特别提示
(1)as/as if/as though引导的表语从句常跟在特定动词后面,
如seem,appear,look,taste,sound,feel等。常用虚拟形式,即表示与现在事实相反,用过去式;与过去事实相反用过去完成式 (had done).如:
①It sounds as if someone was knocking at the door.听上去好像有人在敲门。 ②He speaks/ spoke as if he had known about it
(2)当主句的主语是reason时,表语从句一般由that引导,这种用法常见于句型The reason why…is that…。如:The reason why he came late was that he got up late.他来得晚是因为起床晚了。
考点4 同位语从句
同位语从句在句子中作某一名词的同位语,一般位于该名词之后,说明该名词的具体内容。这些名词常见的有idea,fact,news,hope,belief,thought,doubt,promise,suggestion,order等。
1.通常用连词that引导同位语从句,that无词义,也不作句子成分,但不能省略。注意从句用陈述句语序。如:
①They expressed the hope that we would go and visit Shanghai again.他们表示希望我们再去访问上海。
②I have no idea that she quit her present job.我不知道她辞掉了现在的工作。 ③Give me your promise that you will come to our party this evening.答应我,你今天晚上会来参加我们的聚会。
2.同位语从句还可以用whether,when,where,why,how等引导。如: ①The student asked me the question whether the book Was worth reading.学生问了我这个问题:这本书是否值得一读。
②I have no idea why he was excited at that time.我不知道当时他激动的原因。 1. 在suggestion / proposal / order / plan / advice / idea / request 等名词后的表语和同位语从句中要用“should+动词原形”should可以省略. My idea is that we (should ) think it over before accepting it. 考点5 名词性从句需要注意的事项
1.that的用法。在主语从句、表语从句和同位语从句中that一般不能够省略;在宾语从句中有时可以省略,一般需要注意下面两点:
(1)当that从句作介词宾语时,that不能省略。如:They share little in common except that they are from the same country.除了来自同一个国家之外,他们几乎没有共同点。
(2)当主句谓语动词后接两个或两个以上的宾语从句时,可以省略第一个that,其他的不省略。如:
I believe(that)you’ve done your best and that things will improve.我相信你已经尽力了,而且情况也会得到改善。
2.that与what的区别。that在从句中不能够充当句子成分,也没有含义;what可以在从句中作主语、表语、宾语或定语,意思是”什么,……的事情”。如:
①The hope that he may recover is not gone yet.他会康复的希望没有消失。(that不充当成分,也无含义)
②What he said proved to be true.他所说的话证明是正确的。(what作said的宾语,可以翻译为“……的话”)
3.定语从句与同位语从句的区别。定语从句是从句对其先行词的修饰或限制;而同位语从句是对从句前面的抽象名词作进一步的说明和解释。如:
①The news that our team has won the game was true.我们队赢了那场比赛的消息是真的。(同位语从句,补充说明news到底是一个什么消息)
②The news that he told me yesterday was true.昨天他告诉我的那个消息是真的。(定语从句,news在从句中作told的宾语)
③I made a promise that if anyone set me free 1 would make him very rich.我许诺如果谁让我自由,我就让他非常富有。
(同位语从句,补充说明promise的内容)
④The mother made a promise that pleased all her children.妈妈许下了一个令她的孩子们高兴的诺言。(定语从句,promise在从句中作pleased的主语)

了),except, besides, as well as, no less than, rather than(而不是), including, in addition to 引导的短语, 谓语动词仍用单数.

More persons than one come to help us. 不止一个人来帮助我们。
7. none 做主语时,谓语动词可用单数, 也可用复数; 但在代表不可数的东西时总是看作单数,因而谓语动词要用单数. 如: None of us are (is) perfect. 人无完人。

8. 名词如: trousers, scissors, clothes, goods, glasses 等作主语时, 谓语动词必须用复数. 如:

2. 不定数量的词组, 如:part of , a lot of , lots of , one of , a number of , plenty of等作主语时, 谓语动词的单复数取决于量词后面名词的数.如: A part of the textbooks have arrived. 一小部分教科书已运到。
A part of the apple has been eaten up by the pig. 这个苹果的一部分被猪吃光了。 3. 加减乘除用单数.如:
Fifteen minus five is ten . 15减去5等于10。

6. the +形容词/过去分词形式”表示一类人或事物, 作主语时, 谓语动词用复数.如: The injured were saved after the fire. (三) 就近原则
1. 由here, there, where 等引导的倒装句中, (有时主语不止一个时)谓语动词与靠近它的主语在数上一致.如:
2. 用连词or, either.... or, neither….nor, not only….but also 等连接的并列主语, 谓语动词与靠近它的主语在数上一致。
注意: one of +复数名词+who/that/which 引导的定语从句中, 定语从句的动词为复数。The only one of +复数名词+ who/that./which 引导的定语从句中,定语从句的动词应为单数。
