2.賓語從句(－)
賓語從句在復合句中用作主句的賓語.
賓語從句通常由連詞that引導.在口語和非正式文體中連詞that常可省略.從句時態受主句謂語動詞的限制.但當主句謂語為一般現在時態時，賓語從句可用任何時態.
例如：
He says that he will visit that farm this afternoon.
他說今天下午將參觀那個農場
I’m sorry that he lost his watch yesterday.
我很難過，他昨天丟了手表.
She said that she felt much better.她說她好多了.
I told him I had seen the film twice.
我告訴他這部電影我已看過兩遍了.
He said that he would give you a call.

例如：
The teacher told us that the sun rises in the east.
老師告訴我們，太陽在東邊升起.
He said that light travels much later than sound.
他說光的速度比聲音的速度快得多.
通過上述例可以看到，賓語從句常常用來轉述別人的話語；也可用作其它及物動詞的賓語；還可用在 be ＋ afraid(sure)等結構之后作賓語.
例如：
①A：What does the teacher say？老師說什么？
B：He says he’ll be free between 8：00and 9：00.

When Tom got to the bus stop, there were already a lot of people there . They were standing in line and waiting for a bus. The bus was late. As soon as he got to the bus stop. Tom went to the front and jumped the queue. The people there were all unhappy. One of them said to Tom. “Don't jump the queue.”“Oh, I am sorry”, said Tom. He went back to the end of line and waited like others. When the bus came, the people all got on the bus in turn.
根據短文，判斷正誤，對的寫“T”，錯的寫“F”.

2.Tom had to take a bus because the hospital was very far.
3.The people were standing in line and waiting for a bus.
4.Tom waited in the queue as soon as he got to the bus stop.
5.One of the people asked Tom not to jump the queue.
分析 1.錯，湯姆的媽媽得病住院了，而不是呆在家里.2.對，短文中第三句.3.對，短文中第五句.4.錯，湯姆一到公共汽車站，就到前面插隊而不是排隊等.5.對
4.A young man practised English with Mr Green.
A. speaks B. speaking C. spoke D. to speak
解析 選B. practise練習，后面要接動名詞作賓語，故選A對
5.The teacher told us the earth round the sun.
A. turned B. is turning C. turns D. to turn
解析 選C.主句為一般過去時，賓語從句要用過去時態的某種形式，但賓語從句是一個客觀真理，故用一般現在時選C.
6.I’ve never seen beautiful mountain in my life.
A. such a B. a such C. so a D. a so
解析 選A. such為形容詞，一般修飾名詞，so為副詞，修飾形容詞或副詞.但名詞前有many，much，little，few等詞時，不能用such，而要用so，such修飾名詞詞組時，遇不定冠詞a(n)時，要放在冠詞前，故選 A，但可轉換為so beautiful a mountain.
7. He isn’t, so I’ll to him on his desk.
A. take a message B. give a message
C. leave a message D. pass a message
解析 選C. take a message.意為“替人捎口信”； give a message to sb.意為“把口信捎給某人”，其后均不和表地點的介詞短語連用.pass a message意為“傳口信”，亦不和“地點”連用；leave a message to sb.“給某人留口信”，常和表示地點的短語連用.

常見問題10: Travel 10
問題：
She will give you a call as soon as she______back tomorrow.
A．will come B．is going to come C．comes D．came
解答:
分析 as soon as在本題中引導的是時間狀語從句。時間狀語從句和if引導的條件狀語的用法相同。在使用時應把握主句是一般將來時，時間狀語從句和條件狀語從句要用一般現在時代替一般將來時。
答案 C
注意! 在答此題時，常常能注意上述原則，卻分不清主從句，以致把時態填錯。
常見問題11: Travel 11
問題：
改錯
I think that he isn't a good student.
解答:
分析此句是由連詞that引導的賓語從句。that通常引導由陳述句充當的賓語從句，這里的that無實際具體意義，在口語和非正式文體中that省略。另外，如果主句動詞是think，guess等詞，且主句主語為第一人稱時，賓語從句用not表達否定含義的否定句，習慣上常否定主句謂語動詞。
答案I don’t think that he is a good student.
注意! 如果賓語從句主句時態是現在時，賓語從句的時態可根據自身的時間狀語來確定，不受主句謂語時態的限制；如果主句時態是過去時，賓語從句的時態要與主句時態保持一致，即用過去相應的某一時態。
試比較：
1．She says that she will go to the zoo tomorrow.
2．She said that she would go to the zoo the next day.
常見問題12: Travel 12
問題：
He ________ for nearly three hours.
A．kept talking B．kept to talk
C．has kept talking D．kept to talking
解答:
分析keep doing sth側重表示持續不停地做某事。另外，句中的for引導的表示一段時間的狀語暗示要用現在完成時。
答案C
注意！ keep on doing sth側重強調動作的反復，表示持續不斷地或反復做某事，相當于go on doing。
