《Unit 3 Language in use》语法解析
宾语从句的时态问题
在前两个模块中,我们学习了三种宾语从句。除了前面我们讲过的引导词和语序的问题外,想必同学们还注意到了另外一个问题——宾语从句中的时态问题。现在我们来回顾一下这三个模块中出现的一些句子,请同学们注意观察宾语从句的时态特点。
(1) I can hardly believe we're in the city centre.
真不敢相信我们是在市中心。
(2) I'm sure it'll be fantastic to see the city from the top.
我相信从山顶上看到的城市风景将会是极好的。
(3) I did not know who she was.
我不知道她是谁。
(4) We thought somebody was moving about.
我们以为有人在走动。
(5) Lingling's uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants.
玲玲的叔叔说摘树叶是不对的。
从上面所给的句子中我们不难发现,宾语从句的时态和主句的时态是息息相关的。例如,在句子(1)(2)中,主句的谓语都是现在时态,那么从句的时态呢?we're in the city centre 是一般现在时,it'll be fantastic to see the city from the top是一般将来时,所以我们可以这样说:当主句是现在时态时,从句可以根据实际情况选择不同时态。
我们再来看后三个句子,主句的谓语都是过去时态,从句中who she was 和it was wrong to pull leaves off plants是一般过去时,somebody was moving about 是过去进行时,由此可见:当主句是过去时态时,从句一般使用相应的过去时态。
