　　11-1 問(wèn)題型式的名詞子句

　　假如我們說(shuō)〝我不知道他住在哪里〞，或者〝他究竟住在哪里仍是個(gè)謎〞，我們就可以用這種問(wèn)題型式的名詞子句，每一個(gè)名詞子句都要用who, where, whether, which等來(lái)開(kāi)始。以下是典型的例子：

　　I don't know where he came from.(我不知道他來(lái)自何處。)

　　Whether or not he is an American is still a secret.(他是否是個(gè)美國(guó)人仍然是個(gè)秘密。)

　　I will find out where he is living.(我要找出他住在哪里。)

　　I can not remember whether he smokes or not.(我不記得他是否吸煙。)

　　Please let me know how old he is.(請(qǐng)讓我知道他多大年紀(jì)。)

　　Kindly tell me what you really need.(請(qǐng)讓我知道你需要什么。)

　　You have to decide which book you want to buy.(你應(yīng)該決定買(mǎi)哪一本書(shū)。)

　　Do you know where he is from?(你知道他是從哪里來(lái)的?)

　　Do you know who he is?(你知道他是誰(shuí)嗎?)

　　Please ask your brother whether he is coming or not.(請(qǐng)問(wèn)你的兄弟他會(huì)不會(huì)來(lái)。)

　　When she is coming remains a puzzle.(她何時(shí)來(lái)仍然是個(gè)謎。)

　　I don't know what he is interested in.(我不知道他的興趣何在。)

　　I don't understand what he is talking about.(我不知道他在談什么。)

　　Do you know whose bicycle this is?(你知道這輛腳踏車(chē)是誰(shuí)的嗎?)

　　Do you know which country Hawaii belongs to?(你知道夏威夷屬于哪一個(gè)國(guó)家嗎?)

　　You should ask your mother where you were born.(你應(yīng)該問(wèn)你的母親你在哪里生的。)

　　雖然每一個(gè)名詞都有問(wèn)題的意義，我們卻不能在名詞子句中用問(wèn)句的型式，因?yàn)楫吘惯@個(gè)名詞子句僅僅是一個(gè)子句而已，它的結(jié)尾并不是〝?〞。

　　因此以下的句子都是錯(cuò)的：

　　*I don't know where did he come from.

　　*I will find out how old is he.

　　*Kindly tell me what do you need.

　　*You have to decide which book do you want to buy.

　　*When is he coming remains a puzzle.
