疑问副词
1. 疑问副词的特征
疑问副词有when, where, why, how 等,用于引出特殊疑问句:
Where do you come from? 你是哪儿人?
When will it be ready? 这什么时间能筹备好?
Why was she crying? 她刚刚为何哭?
2. 两类易混句型有什么区别。请看以下两句:
Where do you think he has gone? 你觉得他去什么地方了?
Do you know when he will come? 你了解他什么时间来吗?
上面第一句为特殊疑问句,第二句为一般疑问句,它们不可以倒过来讲成Do you think where he has gone? When do you know he will come? 其不同是:可以用 yes 或 no 回答者,用一般疑问句的形式(疑问词放在句中,即主句之后),合适这种句型的主句动词一般有 know, hear, ask, tell 等;不可以用 yes 或 no 回答者,用特殊疑问句的形式(疑问词放在句首),合适这种句型的主句动词一般有 think, believe, suppose, guess 等。
3. 用疑问副词的注意点
(1) 疑问副词用于引导特殊疑问句,一般坐落于句首,但有时也未必: Without friends where are we? 没朋友大家会如何?
(2) 疑问副词引导特殊疑问句时,其后应接一般疑问句,但有时可有所省略:
Why argue with him? 为何要与跟他争吵?
Why not ask the teacher? / Why dont you ask the teacher? 为何不问问老师呢?
Why 或Why not后接动词原形,不接带to不定式,主要用于目前或以后,不需要于过去,如不说 why not tell me yesterday?应改为Why didnt you tell me yesterday?(昨天为何不告诉我?)
(3) 有时两个疑问副词连用:
When and where were you born? 你生于何时何地?
