Step Ⅲ Explanation and Summary T:As we all know,the Noun Clauses can be classified into the Subject C1ause,the Predicative Clause,the Object Clause and the Appositive Clause ac-cording to the function of each clause in the main clause. (Bb:the Subject Clause.the Predica-tive Clause,the Object Clause and the Appositive Clause) T:Now look at the sentences on the screen. I.the Subject Clause 1.Whether he has enough time to finish the work is still a question. 2.It is still a question whether he has enough time to finish the work. 3. Who did that is unknown to all. Ⅱ.the Predicative Clause 1. The question is who can do the experlment. 2.He looked as if he was going to cry. 3.The reason for his lateness was that he got up late. 4.That was because he got up late. Ⅲ.the Object Clause 1.I didn’t know that Pierce Brosnan is from Ireland. 2.I find it hard that I learn English well. Ⅳ.the Appositive Clause 1.Some senior officials eat chicken in public in order to remove the Chi-nese citizen’s fear that it is not safe to eat chicken. 2.Word has come from his sister that she will arrive on Friday. T:Attention,please.1.In order to keep the sentence balanced.We often use“it”as the formal subject,which re-places the real subject.For example,the No.2 sentence in the column of the Subject.2.“As if”“as though”and“be-cause”can also be used to introduce the Predicative Clause.For example,the No.2 and the No.4 sentences in the column of the Predicative Clause.3.In the sentence if the verb is“make/find/think/believe…”,we can“it”as the formal object,which replaces the real object.We put the real object behind the Object complement.That is to say, Sub.+find/make/think/believe…+it+Object Complement+that clause.For example,I thought it strange that he failed to call me.Now we have known about the usages and the func-tions of the Noun Clauses.But we must pay attention to the conneetives introducing the Noun Clauses.Now please look at the diagram on the screen.You’d better remember them. (Teacher shows the diagram on the screen.) T:Attention,please. 1.In the Noun Clauses,we must use the normal word order—Connective +Subject+Verb.That is to say,there is no inversion. e.g.Whether he left is unknown. That’s why he fell i11. Can you make sure where Alice has left the gold ring? The fact that he hadn’t said any-thing surprised everyone. (Teacher writes the four sentences on the blackboard.) 2.Don’t use double connectives in the Noun Clauses. 3.The subordinate conjunction“wheth-er”can introduce all the Noun Clau-ses,while the subordinate conjunc-tion“if”can only introduce an Ob-ject Clause used as the object of a verb.For example,we can’t say“It all depends on if they will support us”.We should say“It all depends on whether they will support us”. 4.The subordinate conjunction“that”has no meaning and doesn’t act as any omponent in the Noun Clau-ses.When“that”is introducing a Noun Clause as the object of a verb(believe,consider,hear,know,say,understand etc),it can be omitted. 5.The conjunctive pronoun“what”means“the thing that/all that”in the Noun Clauses.“what”intro-duces a Noun Clause.At the same time it can be used as the subject,the object or the predicative in the Noun Clause.You must pay atten-tion to the differences between“that”and“what”.Now let’s look at these sentences on the screen. That she was closed made us very happy. What he did quite surprises us. This is what interests me most. The reason was that he had never seen her before. Stcp Ⅳ Practice and Consolidation T:Now you have known something about the Noun Clauses.Let’s do some exer-cises so that we can use them correctly and freely.Please look at the screen. (责任编辑:admin) |
