Part 3 Grammar
疑问句变为间接疑问句时有一些独特的规律。
首先引号和问号不再使用。其次,直接疑问句中的倒装语序在转述疑问句里要还原为陈述句语序(主语+动词)。同时,如有必要,还需改变时态。 (1)间接一般疑问句
转述一般疑问句时必须使用if或 whether,不可省略。助动词do/does和did在转述疑问句
里消失了:ask, want to know, wonder 等后面的if和 whether通常可以互换,但是whether表示的怀疑程度比if稍大。
‘Did he go home? ’ “他回家了吗?”
She asked me if/whether he had gone home. 她问我他是否已经回家了。 在表示两者挑一时更常用 whether:
She asked me whether I wanted tea or coffee.
她问我要茶还是要咖啡。转述疑问句中带有or not时,通常用 whether引导:
He wants to know whether or not we want dinner. 他想知道我们想不想吃饭。(不能用if or not) (2)间接特殊疑问句
在转述特殊疑问句时,不加 whether或 if,通常用原来的疑问词。
在针对主语提问的间接疑问句中,时态和情态助动词照常有变化,但语序保持不变: Where are you going? 你们上哪去?
He asked us where we were going. 他问我们上哪去?
