在某些形容词后也可接宾语从句。
例: Mother was very pleased( that )her daughter had passed the exams. 妈妈非常高兴她的女儿已经通过了考试。
【注意】
宾语从句时态与主句相呼应，但宾语从句表示的是客观真理或普遍现象除外
例: The teacher told us that the earth moves around the sun
连词whether 和if 可以互换，但注意下列情况：
连词后紧跟or not 时用whether
例: I want to know whether or not they will come.
作介词宾语是用whether 引导宾语从句
例:
表示＂星期＂的名词(如Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday等)一般不与冠词连用，但有时为了表示＂特指＂可以带定冠词;若表示不确定的＂某一个＂，其前可用不定冠词。如：
＂When can I have my birthday party?＂ ＂On the Saturday nearest to it.＂ ＂我的生日庆祝会在哪天举行?＂＂就在离你生日最近的那个星期六吧。＂
Christmas Day falls on a Monday. 今年的圣诞节是星期一。
You won’t catch me working on a Sunday! 你绝对见不到我在星期日工作!
He never opens up shop on a Sunday. 星期日他的商店从不营业。
We had a card from her on the Friday after she got back. 在她回去后的那个星期五我们收到了她的明信片。
＂When can I have my birthday party?＂ ＂On the Saturday nearest to it.＂ ＂我的生日庆祝会能在哪天举行?＂＂在离你生日最近的那个星期六吧。＂
He was interested in whether he saw her there.
连接词后直接加不定式，不能用if 只能用whether
例: He doesn’t know whether to stay or not.
如果宾语从句是否定时，一般用if 引导
例: I care if he will not attend the meeting.
当主语是I, we ，主句用think, believe, suppose, expect, imagine 五个动词时，用否定转移
例: I don’t think he will win the game, will he?
that 在宾语从句常可以省略，但由and 或but 连接两个或多个宾语从句时，仅可以省略第一个连词that
例: He said (that) he had eaten nothing but that he wasn’t hungry.
＂三餐饭＂前冠词的使用问题
一般说来，表示一日三餐的 breakfast, lunch, supper前不用冠词。如：
Breakfast is served until 9 a.m. 早餐一直供应到上午9点。
Can you manage lunch on Tuesday? 你星期二能来吃午饭吗?
但是，若要特指某一顿早餐、中餐或晚餐，则可在其前加定冠词。如：
The supper is well cooked. 晚饭做得很好。
Thank you for the breakfast. 谢谢你的这顿早餐。
另外，若 breakfast, lunch, supper 受到描绘性定语的修饰，则其前通常要用不定冠词。如：
We make a good breakfast before leaving. 我们动身前好好吃顿早饭。
