#9 关系词

我的学生经常出现的另一个问题就是分不清特殊疑问词(如what,why,when, where)和关系词。关系词是用来把从句、词组和句子的主体连接起来的。

在“What do you want to do?(你想要做什么?)”这句话里,what是一个疑问词,但是在“I don't know what you want to do.(我不知道你想要做什么。)”这句话里,what就变成一个关系词了。

● 误:“My brother doesn't know how do you get to the library.”

正:“My brother doesn't know how to get to the library.”

“我哥哥不知道图书馆在哪。”

误:“My sister didn't tell me where does she get his clothes.”

正:“My sister didn't tell me where she gets her clothes.”

“我姐姐没有告诉我她在哪买的衣服。”

记住一点,在疑问句中,动词通常放要在主语之前,而使用关系词时,主语要在动词前。
