直接問句?間接問句?
基本概念:
Wh-問句時,把主詞與be動詞或助動詞對調。
Yes/No問句時,把主詞與be動詞或助動詞對調,並加上if / whether。
使用時機:
間接問句比直接問句還要委婉一點,較為禮貌,在口語上非常常見。
或希望別人能主動告知資訊時,亦可使用間接問句。
例句:
開頭
Can you tell me …
I don’t know …
I wonder …
I’d like to know …
+
直接問句
Who is he?
What does he want?
Is he Jack?
Can he swim?
=
間接問句
Can you tell me who he is? 1
I don’t know what he wants. 2
I wonder if 3 he is Jack.
I’d like to know whether 3 he can swim.
備註
1. 若開頭為Can you tell me …,結尾也要加問號。
2. 若句子中的助動詞為do/does/did,要與動詞合併。若動詞為want,則分別要改成want/wants/wanted
3. if與whether可以通用。
TOEIC 題目:
I wonder if the debate on whether same-sex marriage _________________ has ended.
(A) should be legalized
(B) should legalize
(C) legalizes
(D) legalized
單字補充:
legalize (v.) 合法化
debate (n.) 辯論
#文末有解答
翻譯:
我不曉得「同婚是否該合法化」的辯論是否已經結束了。
解題:
本題的開頭為I wonder,子句為The debated has ended.
中間的…on whether same-sex marriage ___...代表辯論的主題。
若還原成直接問句:
(A) Should same-sex marriage be legalized?
(B) Should same-sex marriage legalize?
(C) Does same-sex marriage legalize?
(D) Did same-sex marriage legalize?
最合理應為A
