例一: Where do you come from? He asked Lucy. 合并为一句:He asked Lucy where she comes from. Where do you come from是疑问语序,where she comes from是陈述语序。 例二: How old is Jim? She asked. 合并为一句:She asked how old Jim was. How old is Jim是疑问语序,how old Jim was是陈述语序。 例三: Can you swim? She asked. 合并为一句:She asked if/whether you could swim. Can you swim是疑问语序,you could swim是陈述语序。
陈述语序就是和陈述句的顺序一样,主语在前,谓语动词在后。 例:正常语序问句:你来自哪里?Where are you from? 宾语从句:我想知道你来自哪里。I want to know where you are from. where you are from 整个句子做know 的宾语,用陈述语序you are 而不用are you.
