New Concept English Book 2 Grammatical Points: Noun Clauses (3) Object Clauses

(3) Object clause: Act as an object in a complex sentence.

1. makes the object clause meaningless, does not act as a component, and is often omitted.

This will not lead to the object clause of the preposition. As for except that, in that, save that and but that, they are compound subordinate conjunctions.

I know you've met him.

Let's suppose that one day this happens to you.

There is often an indirect object (person) between transitive verbs and object clauses. For example:

I told him that he was wrong.

Negative words in clauses after a few verbs, such as: think, believe, assume, expect, imagine, calculate, account, be supported, seem, ear, feel if, look like, etc., are often transferred to the predicate verbs in the main sentence, which is called negative preposition/negative transfer. (hope "hope" and guess "think" are followed by negative object clauses. I hope not. "I hope not" is the negative form of "I hope so". I hope not. It is a denial of hope: "I don't hope so." ) such as:

I don't think it will be very cold today.

I don't think you are right.

I don't believe that he has finished the work.

note:

(1) The transfer must be denied. If it is necessary to emphasize the negation of clauses, it will not be transferred.

Any negative sentence that can deny the transferred verb should not be understood as a negative object clause, depending on the meaning or context of the sentence.

I don't think diplomacy is the domain of private enterprises.

We didn't expect it to be so late.

③ When think is used in interrogative sentences, or the predicate verb of the main sentence is used with adverbial, or the predicate verb of the main sentence is emphasized with do, transfer cannot be denied.

Why do you think we can't change your bill?

I do believe that Tom never tells lies.

They still don't believe that food will come.

I can't believe they got married.

④ The main verb is the simple present tense, and negative transfer is often used.

If the subject verb is simple past tense, past perfect tense, past continuous tense, present perfect tense and present perfect continuous tense, or the subject verb is used with modal verbs, this transfer cannot be denied. At this time, if the main sentence verb is negative, we should consider whether it is negative to the main sentence verb.

I thought he wouldn't come.

I have thought that he can't come.

⑤ When there is no, never, Hardy, not at all, not at all ... Enough, we can't deny the transfer in the object clause.

I think I can't help laughing when I see it.

I believe that he never tells lies.

▲ Many sentences with object complement should take it as the formal object and put the object clause at the end of the sentence.

We think it is wrong for him to lie to everyone.

We think it is a pity that she missed this opportunity.

2. Among them, if leads the object clause: indicating whether it is interchangeable, if is often used in spoken English.

He asked if she would come.

Please note that if cannot be used in the following situations:

1) guide the subject clause at the beginning of the sentence.

2) when there is no word interval, follow or not follow directly.

I don't know whether he will come.

3) When clause is used as prepositional object.

They are talking about whether he will win the game.

Everything depends on whether you agree with us or not.

4) When when followed by infinitive.

I don't know whether to attend the meeting or not.

5) The verbs discuss and decision are object clauses.

3. use pronouns what, who, who, etc. to guide the connection of object clauses.

Tell me what you want.

Do you know who will come to the meeting?

Note: According to traditional grammar, the noun replaced by who in clauses should be the objective case, but who is often used in spoken language, such as:

Do you know who he will invite?

①who, which and what are adjectives. Whoser means all, meaning "whose"; Which means "which" and what means "what". For example:

Whose book doesn't matter.

Please tell me which school you want to go to.

He doesn't know what time it is.

② Generally speaking, it refers to a specific, definite, limited and small scope; On the other hand, it refers to a broader or unclear scope. For example, what kind of food, the speaker generally refers to several foods in front of him or within a clear range; What food refers to a lot of food, and the speaker has no concept.

I don't know which/what food you want.

If the range is large or not, what food to use.

4. Connect the object clauses with adverbs when, where, why and how.

I don't know when the meeting will be held.

Please tell me where I can find Tom.

He explained to me why he was absent from the meeting.

Can you tell me how to get to the post office?

You can use whatever, who, whom, never, whom, etc. Leading object clauses.

Please write down everything he said.

I don't know who will come.

I'll do whatever you ask me to do.

6. Verbs expressing love and hate, such as: like, hate, love, like, dislike, don't mind, dislike, appreciate, etc. And some phrasal verbs at the end of prepositions, such as: count on, rely on, look at, expect later, like, feel like, look at, etc. Even if there is no object complement, the formal object should be followed by the object clause.

I like her smiling at me.

I like it when you sing.

I hate it when people talk loudly to me in public.

Except for six prepositions, but, ideas, except, in, save, beyond, followed by that-lead object clause, no other prepositions can be used. In means "because", and the other five collocations are "except …".
