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

一、Definition The objective clause is a clause that functions like a noun object 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.

（一）Conjunction 1. If the subordinate clause is a declarative sentence, we use "that" as the conjunction. eg. I don’t think that you should read English aloud. 2. if/ whether means"是否". It is usually followed by some words like ask, wonder, can(could) you tell me. What's more, the original sentence of objective clause 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 the original sentence of objective clause is a special question，the conjunctions are listed as follows： • Pronouns: who，whose，what，which； • Adverbs: when，where，how， why, etc. Function: connent two sentences and act 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?
