疑問句變成名詞子句，亦稱為間接問句
How many students are there in your class?

Do you know ?



F 疑問句變成名詞子句，亦稱為間接問句 （子句做名詞的功能）



句型：S + V + 疑問句（從屬連接詞） + S + V （名詞子句作動詞的受詞）



l 若原疑問句有be動詞或情狀助動詞(will, can, may, have)時，則將這些動詞置於主詞後面



EX: When will he come? I don’t know when he will come.

EX: How long has he lived here? I don’t know how long he has lived here.

EX: I don’t know how he will do it.

EX: I want to know when he left.



l 若原疑問句有一般助動詞(do, does, did)，應先刪除此助動詞，【否定助動詞don’t, doesn’t, didn’t 則不需刪除】再將主詞之後的原形動詞按助動詞的時態及人稱，還原此動詞的形態



EX: When did he leave? I don’t know when he left.

EX: Where does Mary lives? I don’t know where Mary lives.

EX: Why Mary didn’t do her homework? I don’t know why Mary didn’t do her homework.

EX: Tom didn’t come to school. I don’t know why Tom didn’t come to school.



l 此種句型的名詞子句，亦可作主詞或其他等同於名詞的用法

EX: How he will do it is not known yet.

= It is not known yet how he will do it.

EX: When he left is still a mystery.

= It is still a mystery when he left.

F Yes/No問句變為名詞子句



l 一般問句，非以疑問詞(who, whom, what…)起首的句子， 一律要用yes/no回答

EX: Are you a student?

EX: Can you do it?



l 若是以上的句子要改成名詞子句（也就是間接問句），一律要在句首放whether (or if)，當作從屬連接詞，以連接名詞子句，原問句若有be動詞或情狀助動詞（can, will, may, have…），則要置於主詞之後；若原問句有一般助動詞（do, did, does），則應刪除，句中的一般動詞則須改回原來的時態及人稱



l 此種名詞子句的句型及規則，與上述有WH疑問句的用法一樣



EX: Is he a good student? = I don’t know whether he is a good student.

EX: Can he do it? = I don’t know whether he can do it.

EX: Does he speak English? = I don’t know whether he speaks English.

EX: Whether he will come is not known yet.

= It is not known yet whether he will come.

EX: I don’t know whether he will come.





!

The question was, “Can you do it?” (whether)

.

! Mary asked Peter .

to the supermarket/ he/ give her/ could/ if / a ride



翻譯：

1. 我不知道那是不是真的 （wonder）



2. 你知不知道他父親從事什麼行業 （be engaged in）
