这首歌里使用了三种最常用英语口语常用句型。

一、宾语从句

歌词:

You're telling me (that)you're so confused.

But I believe (that)for you and me the sun will shine one day.

在句中起宾语作用的从句称为宾语从句。包括动词的宾语从句、介词的宾语从句和形容词的宾语从句。宾语从句可由that, whether, if, 和wh- 类连接词引导。

1. 宾语从句的连接词

(1) that 引导的宾语从句

由that引导的宾语从句表示陈述意义。从属连词that无实际意义,不在从句中充当任何成分。此时宾语从句的成分齐全,句意明确。在口语和非正式文体中that可以省略。

Many people believe (that)robots will do most of our work.

(2) whether/if引导的宾语从句

His mother asked whether/if he finished his homework.

(3) 连接代词引导的宾语从句

宾语从句可由连接代词what, who, whom, whose, which 等引导,它们可以在宾语从句中充当主语、宾语、表语和定语等,因此不能省略。

Do you know who is on duty today?

The book will show you what the best teachers should know.

(4) 连接副词引导的宾语从句

宾语从句可由连接副词when, where, how, why等引导,它们在宾语从句中作状语,不可以省略。

Could you please tell me where I can buy a mask?

2. 动词的宾语从句

大多数及物动词可以带宾语从句

The boy didn't know what a person's 'destiny' was.

It saidthat the darkest hour of the night came just before the dawn.

3. 介词的宾语从句

介词后面可以跟whether 和wh- 类连接词引导的从句

It depends on whether he is ready.

Whether we can succeed depends on how well we cooperate.

4. 系表结构的宾语从句

Sure, certain, glad, pleased, happy, afraid, surprised, satisfied, sorry等表示情感的形容词与be一起构成系表结构时,其后的从句也常被视为宾语从句。

I am sure that he is coming to help me.

We are all glad that we have once again overcome the difficulty.

二、定语从句

歌词:That's something(that) only love can do.

在句子中起定语(修饰名词)作用的从句称为定语从句。

1.关系代词引导的定语从句

(1)that 引导的定语从句

That 既可以指人也可以指物,指人时可与who, whom互换,指物时可与which 互换。在定语从句中作主语、宾语或表语。作宾语时可以省略。

You are the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen.

It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.

(2)which 引导的定语从句

Finally he reached a lonely island which was completely cut off from the outside world.

(3)Who,whom 引导的定语从句

The boy who won the first prize is from Shandong.

He is the writer whom you looked for just now.

(4)Whose 引导的定语从句

Whose 可以指人也可以指物,在定语从句中作定语。

The prize will go to the writer whose story shows the most imagination.

Please pass me the book whose cover is green.

(5)As 引导的定语从句

He is reading the same book as I did yesterday.

The air quality in the city, as is shown in the report, has improved.

2. 关系副词引导的定语从句

关系副词在定语从句中充当状语,一般不可省略。常用的关系副词有when, where, why等。在选择关系副词时,一定要找准前面的先行词。

(1) when引导的定语从句

It was a time when there were many great philosophers.

(2) where 引导的定语从句

Wuhan is a beautiful city where you can eat delicious food.

(3) why引导的定语从句

The reason why he got sick is still unclear.

三、条件状语从句

歌词:

I know if I could find the words to touch you deep inside, you'd give our dream just one more chance.

在复合句中作条件状语的从句称为条件状语从句。条件状语从句表示实现主句动作发生或状态存在的条件是完全可能的事。条件状语从句可置于句首,也可以置于句尾,有时还可以置于主语和谓语之间。

1. If的用法

If是引导条件状语从句最常用的连词,表示在某种条件下很可能发生某事。

If a person is living out his destiny, he knows everything he needs to know.

If we don’t save water, we will have no water to drink one day.

2. Unless的用法

Unless意为“除非,如果不”,相当于if...not...,二者可以互换,但unless语气较强。在unless引导的条件状语从句中,谓语不能再用否定式。

He is sure to come unless he has some urgent business.

3. On condition(that)的用法

on condition(that)引导条件状语从句时,表示主句发生的前提条件或唯一条件,意为“在...条件下”。

I shall give you my dictionary on condition thatyou return it tomorrow.

4. Provided/providing/supposing/given(that)的用法

Provided/providing/supposing/given(that)可以用作连词,意为“假如”,引导的条件状语从句表示一种假设条件。

Providing that there is no opposition, we shall hold the meeting here.

5. As/so long as 的用法

As long as和so long as的意思都是“只要”。

As long as the film’s quality meets our standards, we will include it.

由此可见,平时多听英语歌曲,观看英文电影也能够激发我们学习和应用英语的兴趣,并进一步提高自身水平。

点个“在看”

收藏起来慢慢学吧~
