四.【中考无敌语法】can, could, may, might表示请求许可、宾语从句
㈠can, could, may, might表示请求许可，意为“可以”。

㈡宾语从句
宾语从句在复合句中作主句的宾语。

整个复合结构以主句开始，主句有主语和及物动词，需要宾语来完成句子的意思；宾语从句本身有主语、谓语动词和其他成份。

含宾语从句的复合句的基本结构为：主句＋宾语从句，即“主语＋及物动词＋连接词＋陈述句语序”。

⒈宾语从句的连接词：that, if/whether, wh-疑问词
⑴that引导的宾语从句
在以that引导的宾语从句中，that只起连接作用，在从句中不作任何成份，无实意，在口语或非正式文体中常省略。

以下动词之后可
接that引导的宾语从句：say, think, believe, hope, learn, know, hear, mean, remember, be sure/be certain, never doubt, confirm, agree, prove。

①I hope (that) it’ll be a fine day tomorrow.
②We all know (that) Earth is more and more crowded.
⑵if/whether引导的宾语从句
if/whether都可用来引导宾语从句，意为“是否”，一般情况下可互换。

以下动词之后可接if/whether引导的宾语从句：want to know, wonder, be not sure, be not certain, doubt。

以下五种情况下只能用whether，不用if。

①主句的谓语动词discuss之后必须用whether引导宾语从句。

e.g. We discussed whether we would invite him to attend the meeting.
②宾语从句含有or, or not，只能用whether…or, whether…or not。

e.g. The police are not sure whether he is involved in the kidnapping or not.
③主句的谓语动词短语含有介词，只能用whether。

e.g.
We are still talking about whether we will buy a new car.
④宾语从句提到主句前时，只能用whether。

e.g.
Whether he will come is not important now.
⑤动词不定式之前只能用whether。

e.g.
We haven’t decided whether to watch a film at the cinema tonight.
⑶疑问词引导的宾语从句
引导宾语从句的疑问词分为疑问代词和疑问副词两种，在宾语从句
中通常称之为连接代词、连接副词。

这些连接词在宾语从句中充当一定的成份。

连接代词有：what, which, who, whom, whose。

连接副词有：when, where, why, how。

⒉宾语从句的语序：
无论主句是肯定句、否定句还是一般疑问句，宾语从句使用陈述句语序。

注意：下列疑问句中疑问词之后既是疑问句语序又是陈述句语序，在宾语从句中不要再改变语序。

⑴who作主语时，e.g. I wonder who has won the game.
⑵what happened (to…), what is happening (to…), wha t has happened (to…)，e.g.
Who knows what happened to him last night?
⑶what is wrong (with…), what was wrong (with…)，e.g.
Please tell us what is wrong with you.
⒊宾语从句的时态：
宾语从句的时态取决于主句的时态，通常有以下三种情况。

⑴如果主句是现在的时态，宾语从句根据具体情况使用适当的时态。

⑵如果主句是一般过去时，宾语从句需使用过去的时态，即一般过去时、过去进行时、过去完成时或过去将来时。

⑶如果主句是一般过去时，而宾语从句是客观事实、公理、定理等，则宾语从句的时态不变。
