下面那个句子对啊?假如都对,有什么不同?
I do not know what is that.
I do not know what that is.
如何理解下面的句子的划线部分:
They may get lazy and unmotivated if they know what is coming to them.
1. I do not know what is that. (误)
2. I do not know what that is. (正)
在what 引导的间接疑问句中,假如就人称代词it 或指示代词this, that,用what 提问时,what 只能作表语,不可以作主语。由于句子的主语已经事先确定好了—— 这类代词。
所以要用正常语序。
但假如what 就名词提问的话,what 可以作主语,也可以作表语。比如:
I want to know what is our next action. (what 作主语)
I want to know what our next action is. (what 作表语)
3. They may get lazy and unmotivated if they know what is coming to them.(正)
【翻译】假如他们了解什么将要即将来临,他们或许会变得懒惰和缺少动力。
what is coming to them 是know 的宾语从句,is coming 是进行时表以后。这跟大家常说的这个句子是同一个结构:
I want to know what will happen to them.
