精讲巧练
1. Could you please tell me where I can get a dictionary?你能告诉我在哪里可以买到词典？
（1.）本句子是由特殊疑问词where引导的宾语从句，作动词tell的宾语。Can you tell me是主句，
特殊疑问词引导的宾语从句用陈述语序，即Where I can buy a dictionary，而不是Where
can I buy a dictionary.
例如：Can you tell me where your teacher lives? 你能告诉我你的老师住在哪里吗？
（2.）动词buy的意思是“买”，它构成动词短语是buy something from 从......买东西，
buy somebody something 给某人买东西。
His father bought him a new bike yesterday. 昨天他爸爸给他买了一辆新自行车。 随时练
【考例】Do you know how ______ to Beijing yesterday?
A. he came B. did he come C. he did come D. he come 【答案与解析】答案是A。本句子是考查宾语从句的用法。以特殊疑问词how引导的宾语从句，用陈述语序即不需要用助动词did。宾语从句的时态是一般过去时，所以用he came。
2. －Do you know where I can exchange money? 你知道我去哪里换钱？ － Sure. Take the elevator to the second floor and turn right. The bank is next to the bookstore. 当然可以。乘坐电梯到二楼。银行在书店旁边。

home?
