Please let me know what is your name .(誤)
很多初學(xué)者看了半天佳魔,也看不出這一句錯句錯在什么地方。
為什么會是錯句呢晦炊?
先要解構(gòu)一下賓語從句是怎么組成的鞠鲜。
主從復(fù)句由兩個或兩個以上的單句,通過連接詞而組成断国,其中必有一句單句是主句贤姆,其它都是從句。
例句(1):
He told me that he would go to Beijing tomorrow.
解構(gòu):
主句:He told me
從句:he would go to Beijing tomorrow.
連詞:that
特點:從句是一陳述句
例句(2):
Please let me know whether you can finish the job in time.
解構(gòu):
主句:Please let me know
從句:whether can you finish the job in time 稳衬?
連詞:whether
特點:從句是一般疑問句
例句(3):
Please let me know what your name is .
解構(gòu):
主句:Please let me know
從句:what is your name ?
連詞:what
特點:從句是特殊疑問句
由此可見霞捡,從句在進(jìn)入復(fù)句用作賓語從句前,可以是如下三類單句中之一類:
1.陳述句
2.一般疑問句
3.特殊疑問句
在語序上薄疚,陳述句不會對初學(xué)者造成困難碧信,問題出在一般疑問句和特殊疑問句上,因為它們原本都是疑問句街夭,都有主謂倒置的語序要求砰碴。所以,在構(gòu)成主從復(fù)句時板丽,初學(xué)者就想當(dāng)然地把主謂倒置的語序搬進(jìn)了復(fù)句呈枉。
但是,英語語法對賓語從句的一個嚴(yán)格規(guī)定:
主從復(fù)句中的賓語從句的語序,只能是陳述句的語序
也即:主語 + 謂語 + 其它成分
所以猖辫,上述那句錯句應(yīng)改正為:
Please let me know what your name is.(正)
所以酥泞,
I want to make sure if can you go with us tonight.(誤)
I want to make sure if you can go with us tonight. (正)
I try to tell him where is the mistake .(誤)
I try to tell him where the mistake is .(正)
I want to guess how old is she .(誤)
I want to guess how old she is .(正)
