The Objective Clause 1 Definition(定义) 2 Three key elements（三要素） 3 Practice Contents 1 4 Homework

一、Definition(定义) The objective clause is an object in a complex sentence and it can be the object of a verb, preposition, non-finite verb and some adjectives. eg. He doesn’t know where the post office is. Your article is all right except that it is too long. I’m sure that he will come and join us.

二、Three key elements： 1 Conjunction 2 Word order 3 Tense

（一）Conjunction 1. If the subordinate sentence is a statement, we use "that" as the conjunction. eg. I don’t think it necessary that you should read English aloud. 2. if/ whether means“是否”. When the things we stated are not clear, we use "if/ whether" as the conjunction and it is usually after some words like ask, wonder, can(could) you tell me. What's more, the subordinate sentence is usually a general question, alternative question or tag question. eg. Could you tell me if (whether) Miss Brown lives in that house?

• 3. When "if" can't be used: a. After a preposition. b. "whether to do" is the object after a verb. c. "whether" and "or not" are combined. d. After "discuss". eg. We’re worried about _whether_ he is safe. I don’t know _whether_ to go. I don’t know _whether_ or not he is well. The doctors are discussing _whether_the old man will recover soon.

4. When the subordinate clause is a special question，the conjunctions are listed as follows： • Pronouns: who，whose，what，which； • Adverbs: when，where，how， why, etc. Function: It connects the main clause with the subordinate clause and acts as some part in the sentence. eg: Pay attention to what the doctor said. Please tell me when the earthquake took place. Will you tell me how I can keep fit and healthy?

（二）Word order • Statement order • 即 ： main clause+conjunction+ subordinate clause • （Subject+Predicate+Other parts） • eg. I think (that) women can reach very high achievements in many fields of science.

（三）Tense Main clause tense Simple present tense/ simple future tense/ imperative sentence Simple past tense The objective facts, truth, natural phenomena, catchphrase, proverbs, etc Subordinate clause tense According to the need The corresponding past tense Simple present tense
