1）當從句是陳述句時用that來引導，在口語或非正式文體中可省略。

I hear （that） he will be back in a month.

2） 當從句是一般疑問句時，用if 或 whether（是否）來引導賓語從句。

當句末有or not時，只能用whether.

Will he come?

I don’t know if / whether he will come.

I was not sure whether he would come or not.

3） 賓語從句是特殊疑問句時用who, whose , whom, which, what, when, where, how, why等單詞引導。

he will ask Mr. Wu some questions.

Jim isn’t lazy.

Jim is doing very well in his lessons.

Jim may fall behind the other students.

2） 如果主句的謂語動詞是一般過去時，賓語從句必須用過去時的某種形式。

A. 從句的動作和主句的動作緊接發生，從句用一般過去時。

Mr. King didn’t know when his son came home

B. 當從句的動作和主句的動作同時發生，則從句用過去進行時。

He said he was working hard on his English.

C. 如果賓語從句的動作發生在主句動作前，則從句用過去完成時。

D. 如果賓語從句的動作發生在主句動作后，則賓語從句用過去將來時。

-The train is leaving ,but Tom hasn’t arrived yet.

- Well, he said he would come on time.

E. 如果賓語從句表示的是 客觀真理，其謂語動詞則用一般現在時。

閱讀理解

A

Experts say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night , but more Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard. But not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger with his eyes still closed ,begging（央求） for one more minute to sleep . Like thousands of student "early birds" in China, he has to get up before six every morning.

A report shows that a good night’s sleep , students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late . Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.

Experts have ever said that students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.

B. Sleeping less means working hard

C. Some clever students can work well in class because they have good study habits.

D. Students don’t have enough sleep only because they have a lot of homework to do.

B

One evening two young men were walking in the street together. They tried to find a chance to steal something. The clock struck twelve. Most of the people went to bed. Quickly they came to a house and it seemed that everyone in the house had fallen asleep. Standing at the front gate , one said in English to the other in a low voice , “You wait here. I’ll go around to the back door and then get into the house.” Suddenly out of the house ran a dog, barking at them. The two men were very frightened and ran away as fast as they could. Finally, they stopped at a lonely place. The man said breathlessly, “It’s too bad. I hadn’t expected that the dog could understand English.”
