当主句的谓语动词是think, believe, guess, expect, imagine, suppose等时,如果宾语从句是否定结构,通常把主句谓语动词改为否定式,而将宾语从句改为肯定式,这种现象叫做“否定转移”。

三、表语从句 (The Predicative Clause):通常置于主句的系动词之后,说明主句主语的情况。: S9 H" G6 W& h3 V; c* P3 n' Z

8 J6 e) r6 g; r$ V2 g It is because I have never heard of the story.
+ v7 H- c, [& s9 ] 四、同位语从句 (The Appositive Clause):常置于某些名词之后,对其内容作解释或补充说明。如:
/ j$ L7 z/ t2 a. [& F advice, demand, doubt, fact, hope, idea, news, order, problem, promise, question, request, suggestion, truth, wish, word等。: Y! P1 r- i. ?3 I0 E

that在同位语从句中只起引导作用,无词义,无语法成分,而在定语从句中指代所修饰词并在从句中作主语或宾语。

8 _ j# @- H r 状语从句在复合句中作状语,修饰主句中的谓语动词、副词、形容词或整个句子。根据句子的含义,它可表时间、地点、原因、目的、结果、条件、行为方式、比较、让步等。状语从句通常由一个连词引起,有时由一个起连词作用的词组引起。

when 通常指一时的动作或状态,可表示从句动作与主句动作同时发生,或先于主句动作;while常用来引导两个同时进行的持续时间较长的动作;as常用来引导两个动作紧接着发生,强调“同一时间”或“一前一后”。9 o8 h8 ~% N6 W8 w3 A5 N

注:when有时作并列连词意为“正在这时”、“突然”,在句末,不能位于句首。从句的谓语动词常用一般过去时,主句通常用过去进行时、过去完成时或be about to结构等。- \+ D4 e B8 [8 ]7 t' l
