名詞性從句
1. 誤:the question is if they can work out the difficult math problem.
正:the question is whether they can work out the difficult math problem.
[點撥]:引導主語從句、表語從句時,常用whether不用if。又如:

2. 誤:that he said surprised all of us .
正:what he said surprised all of us .
[點撥]:what引導主語從句并在主語從句中作said的賓語。當that引導主語從句時,不作句子成份,只起連接作用。
3. 誤:i believe no matter what he says .
正:i believe whatever he says .
[點撥]:whatever在這里引導賓語從句,no matter what只能引導狀語從句。

6. 誤:he wants to become a friend of whomever shares the same interest.
正:he wants to become a friend of whoever shares the same interest.
[點撥]:whoever引導賓語從句并在從句中作主語,故不能用whomever 。
7. 誤:it all depends on if they will support us .
正:it all depends on whether they will support us .
[點撥]:they will support us 在句中作depends on的賓語,故用whether,而不用if引導。
8. 誤:the reason why he didn’t come is because his mother was ill.
正:the reason why he didn’t come is that his mother was ill.

[點撥]:what引導主語從句在從句中作主語,而that引導主語從句時,不作句子成分,也沒有任何含義。
12. 誤:the man asked his son where he found his glasses.
正:the man asked his son where he had found his glasses.
[點撥]:賓語從句中動詞find的動作是在主句動詞ask之前發(fā)生的,因此要用過去完成時來表達。
