一般过去时:
表示过去某个时间里发生的动作或状态；过去习惯性、经常性的动作、行为；过去主语所具备的能力和性格。
基本结构：
主语+动词过去式+其他；
否定形式①was/were+not;②在行为动词前加didn't，同时还原行为动词；
一般疑问句Did+主语+do+其他。
一般过去时句法结构：
肯定形式
主语+动词过去式+其他
例句：She often came to help us in those days.
否定形式
①was/were+not；②在行为动词前加didn't，同时还原行为动词
例句：I didn't know you like coffee
一般疑问句
①Did+主语+do+其他？ ②WasWere+主语+表语?
例句：Did I do that?
用表格整理如下：

肯定式	疑问式	否定式	疑问否定式
Iworked	Did I work?	I did not work	Did I not work?
He(She,It) worked	Did he(she,it) work?	He(she,it) did not work	Did he(she,it) notwork?
We worked	Did we work?	We did not work	Did we not work?
You worked	Did you work?	You did not work	Did you not work?
They worked	Did they work?	They did not work	Did they not work?

记忆口诀：
一般过去时并不难，过去动作、状态记心间。
动词要用过去式，时间状语句末站。
否定句很简单，didn't 站在动原前，其它部分不要变。
一般疑问句也好变，did放在句子前，主语、动原、其它部分依次站。
特殊疑问句也简单，疑问词加一般疑问句记心间。
最后一条请注意，动词过去式要牢记！

一般过去时中动词过去式变化规则：

词	构成	举例
一般情况	词尾+ed	动词原形	过去式和过去分词
		look talk	looked talked
以不发音字母e结尾	词尾+d	like arrive	liked arrived
以“辅以字母+y”结尾	变y为i，再加ed	fly study	flied studied
以重读闭音节结尾，且末尾只有一个辅音字母	双写词尾+ed	stop plan	stopped planned

结构句型:
1．一般句子
I watched TV last night.
2．一般疑问句
Did you watch TV last night？
3．there be 句型
There was an apple on the table last night.
Was there an apple on the table last night
一般过去时注意事项：
1.注意主句与从句中时态的一致性
如果主句用了过去时，从句中一般也要用过去式，或者过去进行时、过去完成时等。例如：
He believed that he was right. 他相信自己是对的。
I didn’t know you were here. 我不知道你在这儿。
I thought they were with you. 我以为他们和你在一起。

2.在口语中， 一般过去时并不一定指真正的过去，而只是表示一种礼貌性语气。例如：
I wondered (wonder) if you could do me a favor. 不知你可否帮我一个忙。
I wanted (want) to ask if I could borrow your car. 我想问问可否借用你的车。
I hoped (hope) you could (can) give me some advice. 我希望你能帮我出点主意。
Did (Do) you want to see me? 你想见我吗？

3.used to
used to 是一个词组，表示“过去曾经是……而现在已经停止了”的动作。例如：
I used to work fourteen hours a day. 我过去常常一天干十四个小时。(而现在不这样了)
I used to take a walk in the morning.我过去是在早晨散步。(而现在不在早晨散步了)
一般过去式用法：
（1）一般过去时表示在过去某个特定时间发生，也可以表示过去习惯性、经常性的动作。
一般过去时不强调动作对现在的影响，只说明过去的事情。
句式：主语+动词过去式+宾语+其它
I had a word with Julia this morning.今天早晨，我跟茱莉雅说了几句话。
He smoked many cigarettes a day until he gave up. 他没有戒烟的那阵子，抽烟抽得可凶了。

（2） 一般过去时常与表示过去的时间状语或从句连用，如：
yesterday,last week ,in  the  past ,in 1993,at that time,once,during the war,before,a few days ago,when 等等.
（句子中谓语动词是用一般过去时还是用现在完成时，取决于动作是否对现在有影响）。
Have you had your lunch? 你吃过午饭了吗？（你现在不饿吗？）
Yes,I have. 是的，我已经吃过了。（已经吃饱了，不想再吃了。）
When did you have it? 你是什么时候吃的？（关心的是吃的动作发生在何时。）
I had it about ten minutes ago. 我大约是十分钟以前吃的。）
Used to do something 表示过去常做而现在已经停止了的习惯动作。
I used to work fourteen hours a day. 我过去常常一天干十四个小时。
I ate it at 6：45。我在六点四十五分吃了。

（3）带有确定的过去时间状语时，要用过去时。如：
yesterday（昨天）、two days ago…（两天前…… ）、last year…（去年…）、the other day（前几天）、
once upon a time（很久以前）、 just now（刚才）、in the old days（过去的日子里）、before liberation（解放前…）、
When I was 8 years old（当我八岁时…）、at+一个时间点
Did you have a party the other day？前几天，你们开了晚会了吗？
Lei Feng was a good soldier.雷锋是个好战士。
注：在谈到已死去的人的情况时，多用过去时。

（4）表示过去连续发生的动作时，要用过去时。这种情况下，往往没有表示过去的时间状语，而通过上下文来表示。
The boy opened his eyes for a moment，looked at the captain，and then died.
那男孩把眼睛张开了一会儿，看看船长，然后就去世了。

（5）表示过去一段时间内经常或反复的动作。常与always，never等连用。
Mrs. Peter always carried an umbrella.彼得太太过去老是带着一把伞。
（只是说明她过去的动作，不表明她现在是否常带着伞。）
比较：
Mrs. Peter always carries an umbrella.彼得太太老是带着伞。
（说明这是她的习惯，表明她现在仍然还习惯总带着一把伞）
Mrs. Peter is always carrying an umbrella.彼得太太 总是带着一把伞。
（表示说话者对这一动作或行为厌烦）
I never drank wine.我以前从不喝酒。
（不涉及到现在，不说明现在是否喝酒）

（6）如果强调已经终止的习惯时要用 used to do（过去常常做，而现在不那样做了）
He used to drink alcohol.他过去喝酒。
（意味着他现在不喝酒了。喝酒这个动作终止了）
I used to take a walk in the morning.我过去是在早晨散步。
（意味着现在不在早晨散步了）
比较：
I took a walk in the morning.我曾经在早晨散过步。
（只是说明过去这一动作）

（7）有些句子，虽然没有表示过去确定时间的状语，但实际上是指过去发生的动作或存在的状态的话，也要用过去时。
I didn''t know you were in Paris.我不知道你在巴黎。
（因为在说话时，我已经知道你在巴黎了。这句话指的是说话之前，所以只能用过去时表示。实际上，这句话暗指：But now I know you are here.）
I thought you were ill.我以为你病了呢。
（这句话应是在说话之前，我以为你病了。但是现在我知道你没病）
一般过去时三变技巧:
一变：肯定句变为否定句
技巧1.当句中含有情态动词或助动词could，would，should等时，可直接在其后面加not构成否定句。例如：
I could get you a concert ticket. → I could not / couldn't get you a concert ticket.
技巧2.当句中含有系动词was，were 时，可直接在其后加not构成否定句。例如：
I was on the Internet when you called me. → I was not / wasn't on the Internet when you called me.
技巧3.当句中谓语是除情态动词、助动词、系动词was, were以外的动词时，在该动词之前加did not / didn't，动词还原，构成否定句。例如：
The famous singer sang some Chinese songs. → The famous singer did not / didn't sing any Chinese songs.

二变：陈述句变为一般疑问句
技巧1.移动词语的位置。将was，were, could，would，should等移到句首。例如：
He could pack his things himself. → Could he pack his things himself?
技巧2.添加助动词did。谓语是除情态动词、助动词、系动词was, were以外的动词时，在主语之前加did，动词还原。例如：
Mr Li looked very old. → Did Mr Li look very old?

三变：陈述句变为特殊疑问句
技巧1.确定疑问词：人who / whom，物what，地点where，时间when / what time，原因why，频率how often，长度how long，距离how far等等。例如：
They gave the concert last night. → When did they give the concert?
技巧2.辨认结构形式：疑问词+情态动词/助动词/ was / were / did +主语+...? 例如：
The accident happened near the station. → Where did the accident happen?

现在完成时:
过去发生并且已经完成的动作对现在造成影响或后果，过去某一时间开始并一直持续到现在的动作或状态。
基本结构：主语+have/has+动词的过去分词
句式：
1. 否定句式：现在完成时的否定句式是“haven't （hasn't）＋过去分词...”。
如：I have not seen the movie yet. 我还没看这部电影。
2. 一般疑问句：Have（Has）+主语+过去分词...？ 如：
—Have you finished the work？你已经做完这项工作了吗？
—Yes, I have. 是的，我已经做完了。（No, I haven't. 不，我还没有做完。）
3. 特殊疑问句：特殊疑问词+have（has）+主语+过去分词...？如：
How many times have you been to the Great Wall？你去过长城几次？
提示：肯定句中有some, already时，改为否定句或疑问句时通常要分别改为any, yet。如：
I have already finished my homework. 我已经完成了我的作业。
→ I haven't finished my homework yet. （否定句）
→ Have you finished your homework yet? （一般疑问句)
现在完成时常见两种句型：
①for短语
②It is＋一段时间＋ since从句
现在完成时特点：
1. 非持续性动词的完成时的肯定式不能与时间段连用，若要用时间段状语，则应换成相应的持续性动词或状态动词。
例如：
He has left.
He has been away for an hour.
2. have/has been to 表示曾经去过某地，但现在不在那；have/has gone to表示现在已去某地，现在不在这。
例如：
He has been to Canada, but now he is working in our company.
Mr. Li in not at home. He has gone to Shanghai.
3. 完成时的肯定式常用already,而否定式和疑问式常用yet，但若already用于疑问句时，表示一种出乎意外的惊讶。
例如：Have you read it already?
现在完成时和一般过去时区别:
现在完成时和一般过去时都表示在过去完成的动作。
但现在完成时强调的是这一动作与现在的关系。如对现在产生的结果或影响等，
而一般过去时只表示动作在过去某一时刻发生，不表示和现在的关系。
比较:
I have lost my new book.  我把新书丢了。（现在还未找到）
I lost my new book yesterday. 我昨天把新书丢了。（昨天丢的，现在找到与否没说明）

have been(to)与have gone( to)的区别：
have been(to)表示“去过某地（现在已经回来了）”，可用于各人称；
have gone(to)表示“去某地了（说话时某人不在当地）”，常用于第三人称，
前者可与once ,never,several times等连用，后者则不能。
如：
They have been to Beijing twice.他们去过北京两次。
He has gone to Beijing .  他去北京了。

现在完成时注意事项:
1.如单纯表示一段时间，或强调一段时间，虽有since一词，也不必用完成时。如：
It is two years since his father died. =His father has been dead for two years.他父亲去世已有三年了。

2.终止性动词现在完成时的否定式，已变成一种可以延续的状态，因此可以和表示一段时间的状语连用。如：
I haven't left here since 1997.自从1997年以来，我一直没有离开过这儿。

3..现在完成时不能单独与准确时间连用，（如表示过去的时间状语）
如:yesterday(morning、afternoon),last(morning、afternoon）等，除非与for,since连用.

4.不能与when连用.

现在完成时的用法：
1.表示动作发生在过去某个不确定的时间，但对现在留下了某种影响和结果。常被just、already、yet 等副词修饰。如：
-Have you had lunch yet?    
-Yes,I have. I've just had it.
2.表示从过去某一时刻开始一直持续到现在的动作或状态。这个动作可能刚停止，可能仍然在进行。
常带有for和since等表示一段时间的状语。如：
He has taught here since 1981
他自1981年就在这儿教书。（可能还要继续教）
I have't seen her for four years.
我有四年没见到她了。
3.表示说话前发生过一次或多次的动作，现在成为一种经验，一般译为汉语“过”。
常与twice,ever,never,three times等时间状语。 如：
I have been to Beijing twice.我去过北京

4. 现在完成时还往往可以同包括现在时间在内的时间状语连用，如：
now,up to these few days/weeks/months/years,this morning/week/month/year,just,today,up to present,so far等：
Peter has written six papers so far.
Man has now learned to release energy from the nucleus of the atom.
There has been too much rain in San Francisco this year.
The friendly relations and cooperation between our two countries have been enhanced in the past few years.
Up to the present everything has been successful.

5.现在完成时往往同表示不确定的过去时间状语连用，如：
already（肯定），yet（否定，疑问），just,before,recently,still,lately,never等：
He has already obtained a scholarship.
I haven't seen much of him recently (lately).
We have seen that film before.
Have they found the missing child yet?

6.现在完成时的"完成用法"
现在完成时的"完成用法"指的是动作发生在过去某一时刻并已结束，但该动作对现在产生了影响，与现在情况具有因果关系。
例如：
He has turned off the light.他已把灯关了。（动作结束于过去，但说明的是现在的情况--灯现在不亮了。）
现在完成时"完成用法"的特点是动作不延续，因此：
该时态只能与表示不定的过去时间状语（如：already，yet，before，recently等）、频度时间状语（如：never，ever，once等）、包括现在时刻在内的时间状语（如：this morning / month /year...，today等）连用。
例如：Have you found your pen yet？你已找到你的钢笔了吗？
7.现在完成时的"未完成用法"
现在完成时的"未完成用法"指的是动作开始于过去某一时刻，一直延续到现在，或可能还要继续下去。
例如：
He has lived here since 1978.自从1978年以来，他一直住在这儿。
（动作起始于1978年，一直住到现在，可能还要继续住下去。）
I have been in the army for more than 5 years.我在部队已经呆了五年多了。
（动作开始于5年前，一直延续至今，有可能还要继续下去。）
此种用法的句中常需一个表示一段时间的状语（由since或for引导），或表示与现在时刻相连的时间状语（如：up to now，so far）等。
例如：
I have heard nothing from him up to now.到目前为止我没有他的任何消息。
注意：现在完成时的未完成用法只适用于延续性动词，不可用于终止性动词，即瞬间完成或延续时间很短的动词。
如：come，go，arrive，leave，join，become，die等。
8.一段时间+has passed+since从句
主语＋have / has been＋since短语
例如：He has been in the League for three years.
或It is three years since he joined the League. 他入团已三年了　　
9. 现在完成时常和短语 "up to now /till now","so far" （意思是从过去某一确定的时间一直延续到现在)连用。　　
Up to/till now he's read many story books. 至今他已读过好多故事书。
I've been to New York three times so far. 至今我已到纽约去过三次。
has gone (to),has been (to),has been (in) 的区别
has gone to：去了没回
has been to ：去过
has been in：呆了很久

过去将来时：
表示从过去的某一时间来看将来要发生的动作或存在的状态。过去将来时常用于宾语从句和间接引语中。
去将来时的出发点是过去，即从过去某一时刻看以后要发生的动作或状态。

过去将来时表达法：
1. would+动词原形
  例如：When you asked Li Lei for help, he would never refuse you.
2. was/were going to+动词原形
  例如：He told ustaht he was going to attend the meeting.
3. was/were to+动词原形
  例如：Li Lei was to arrive soon.
4. was/were about to+动词原形
  例如：We were about to leave there when it began to rain heavily and suddenly.
5. was/were+现在分词
  例如：He was leaving the next day.

句型结构：
肯定句：主语+be（was，were）going to+动词原形～.
否定句：主语+be（was，were）not going to+动词原形～.
疑问句：Be（Was，Were）+主语+going to+动词原形～？

肯定句：主语+would（should）+动词原形～.
否定句：主语+would（should）not+动词原形～.
疑问句：Would（Should）+主语+动词原形～？
过去将来时的构成和一般将来时一样，只不过把助动词be变为过去式，把will，shall变为过去式。
例句：I didn''t know if he would come. =I didn''t know if he was going to come. 我不知道他是否会来。

过去将来时具体用法：
一、would+不定式
1.用“would+不定式”表示过去将来时间通常带有表示过去将来的时间状语，而且多见于从属分句。
He said he would come back the next day.
2.如果要表示在过去将来某一时间正在进行得动作，可用“would+不定式进行体”。
例如：He never imagined that some day he would be living away from his motherland.
这种“would+不定式进行体”结构也可能仅仅表示一般过去过去将来时间，如同“will/shall+不定式进行体”表示一般将来时间一样。、
例如：He told me that Mary would be coming the next day.
如果要表示在过去将来某时以前业已发生得事态，可用“would+不定式完成体”。
例如：The delegation would have arrived by four o'clock that afternoon.
如果要表示从过去某时开始一直延续到过去将来某时得动作或事态，可用“would+不定式完成进行体”。
例如： She said that by the end of May she would have been studying medicine for three years

二、was/were going to +不定式
用做表示过去将来，也通常带有表示过去将来时间得状语。
例如： He said that he was going to live in the country when he retired.
用做表示的动作或事态，也可以是没有实现的意图。
例如：Last  Sunday we were going to go for a picnic but it rained .

三、was/were to +不定式
用做表示过去将来，通常指按过去的计划安排将在某个过去将来时间发生得事态。
例如：They  were not to get away with it if they continued to violate the law.
用作表示过去将来的安排，如果这个安排后来被取消了，没有实现，则用“was/were to +不定式完成体”表示，并可与表示现在、过去或将来得时间状语连用。 此外，其也可用作于表示以后不可避免得要发生得事件。
例如：They said goodbye,little knowing they were never to meet again.

四、was/were about to +不定式
用半助动词be about to 的过去时形式也可使其表示过去将来。这种结构通常指最近的过去将来事态，而且在一定语境中通常指未曾实现的意图：
例如：We were about to start when it began to rain .

五、某些动词的过去进行时可表示过去将来时
come,go,leave,arrive,start等严格按照时间表发生的表起止的动词可用过去进行时代替过去将来时。
例1：He said the train was leaving at six the next morning.他说火车第二天早晨出发。
例2：She told me she was coming to see me.她告诉我她要来看我。

六、特定场合的一般过去时可表示过去将来时
条件状语从句和时间状语从句中须用一般过去时代替过去将来时。
例1：I didn't know when she would come, but when she came I would let you know.我不知道她什么时候来，但她来了我会告诉你。
析：第一个when引导宾语从句，可使用将来时，第二个when引导时间状语从句，只能用一般过去时代替过去将来时。
例2：I didn't know if she would come,but if she came I would let you know.我不知道她是否来，但如果她来我会告诉你。
析：第一个if引导宾语从句，可使用将来时，第二个if引导条件状语从句，只能用一般过去时代替过去将来时。

宾语从句：
在句子中起宾语作用的从句叫做宾语从句。
宾语从句分为三类：动词的宾语从句，介词的宾语从句和形容词的宾语从句。
宾语从句连接代词主要有：
who, whom ,whose ,what ,whoever ,whomever ,whosever, whatever, whichever 等。

宾语从句的特点:
1.宾语从句可以作及物动词、介词及形容词的宾语。
2.宾语从句的语序一律用陈述句语序。
3.连接词that引导宾语从句在句中无词义，不充当句子成份，多数情况下可以省略。
4.whether 和 if 都可引导宾语从句，但 whether后可紧跟or not；whether从句可作介词的宾语。
5.如果从句太长，可以用形式宾语it.

宾语从句的时态:
1.主句是一般现在时，从句根据实际情况使用任何时态。
例句：The headmaster hopes everything goes well.
2.主句是过去时态，从句须用过去时态的某种形式。
例句：She was sorry that she hadn’t finished her work on time.
3.当宾语从句表示的是一个客观真理或者事实时，即使主句是过去时，从句也用一般现在时态。
例句：The teacher told his class that light travels faster than sound.
4. 如果从句的动作发生在主句之前，则从句要用过去完成时态。 

宾语从句的语序:
A. 宾语从句必须用陈述语序。 　　
False: He is wondering when can he finish this difficult job. 　　
Right: He is wondering when he can finish this difficult job.
B. 有时候可以用it 作形式宾语，而把真正的宾语从句放在后面。 　　　
Bad: I thought that he could finish this　job in just two hours impossible. 　　
Good: I thought it impossible that he could finish this job in just two hours.　 
C. 带有宾语从句的复合句的否定形式一般是否定主句。
Bad: I think he doesn’t like the English teacher. 　　
Good: I don’t think he likes the English teacher. 
D.  主句一般过去时态，从句也要用过去时态。
False: He wanted to know why he is crying in the corner. 　　
Right: He wanted to know why he was crying in the corner

宾语从句的否定转移:
主句的谓语动词是think,believe,imagine,suppose,consider,espect,fancy,guess等。
并且主句的主语是第一人称而且为一般现在时，从句的否定词一般要转移到主句上来,其反义疑问句一般与宾语从句一致。
I don’t think he will come to my party.而不能说成I think he won’t come to my party.
我认为他不会来我的舞会.
I don’t believe that man is killed by Jim,is he?
我认为那个人不是Jim所杀的,是不是?
如果宾语从句中有某个含有否定意义的形容词或副词,其反义疑问句要用肯定形式。
We find that he never listens to the teacher carefully,does he?
我们发现他从来不仔细听老师讲课，是不是?

宾语从句中引导词的用法比较
在复合句中作主句的宾语，引导词有：
连词：that (that 常可省略),whether, if
代词：who, whose, what ,which
副词：when ,where, how, why 等。

（一）that引导的宾语从句（在非正式场合that可以省略）
1.可跟that从句做宾语的动词有：
say, think, insist, wish, hope, demand, imagine, wonder, know, suppose, see, believe, agree, admit, deny, expect, explain, order, command, feel, dream, suggest, hear, mean, notice, prefer, request, require, propose, declare, report等。
例句：The boy believes that he will travel through space to other planets.
注意事项：当主句谓语动词是 think, believe, suppose, expect 等词，而宾语从句的意思是否定时，常把否定转移至主句表示。
例句：I don’t think it is right for him to treat you like that.

2.在以下情况中that不能省略
a.当句中的动词后接多于两个由that引导的宾语从句时，第一个that可省，但后面的that不可省。
例句：He said (that) you were too young to understand the matter and that he was asked not to tell you.
b.当主句的谓语动词与that宾语从句之间有插入语时，that一般不可省。
例句：Just then I noticed, for the first time, that our master was wearing his fine green coat and his black silk cap.
c.当that从句是双宾语中的直接宾语时，that不可省。
例句：I can’t tell him that his mother died.
d.注:许多带复合宾语的句子，that引导的宾语从句经常移到句子后部，而用it作形式宾语。
例句：I find it necessary that we should do the homework on time.

（二）由whether,if 引导的宾语从句
1.由whether(if)引导的宾语从句，实际上是一般疑问句演变而来的。意思是“是否”。宾语从句要用陈述句语序。
一般说来，在宾语从句中whether与if可以互换使用，但在特殊情况下if与whether是不能互换的。
例句：I wonder whether(if) they will come to our party.

2.只能用whether，不能用if引导的宾语从句
a.在带to的不定式前
例句：We decided whether to walk there.
b.在介词的后面
例句：I’m thinking of whether we should go to see the film.
c.在动词后面的宾语从句时
例句：We discussed whether we had a sports meeting next week
d.直接与or not连用时
例句：I can’t say whether or not thet can come on time.

3.只能用if不能用whether引导的宾语从句
a.if引导条件状语从句，意为“如果”
例句：The students will go on a picnic if it is sunny.
b.if引导否定概念的宾语从句时
例句：He asked if I didn’t come to school yesterday.
c.引导状语从句even if（即使）和as if（好象）时
例句：He talks as if he has known all about it.

if,whether在宾语从句中的区别
a.if和whether在作“是否”解时,引导宾语从句常放在动词know,ask,care,wonder,find out等之后,介词后一般不用if
b.少数动词,如:leave,put,discuss,doubt后的宾语从句常用whether. 
c. whether后可以加or not,但是if不可以.
d.在不定式前只能用whether.
（如：I can’t decide whether to stay. 我不能决定是否留下。）
e.避免歧异时,我们常用whether而不用if.

（三）连接代词和连接副词引导的宾语从句
这样的宾语从句实际上是由特殊疑问句变化而来的，宾语从句要用陈述句语序。
用于这种结构的动词常常是：see, say, tell, ask, answer, know, decide, show, find out, imagine, suggest, doubt, wonder, discover, understand, inform, advise等。
1.英语中的连接代词有：who,whom,whose,which,what,在句中担任主语、宾语、定语或者表语。
例句：Can you tell me whom you are waiting for?
2.英语中的连接副词有：when,where,why,how，在句中担任状语的成分。
例句：None of us knows where these new parts can be bought.

简化宾语从句常用六法：
方法一：
当主句谓语动词是hope， decide， wish， choose， agree， promise等，
且宾语从句的主语与主句主语一致时，宾语从句可简化为不定式结构。
例如：
Li Ming hopes he will be back very soon.
→Li Ming hopes to be back very soon.
We decided that we would help him.
→We decided to help him.

方法二：当主句谓语动词是know， learn， remember， forget， tell等动词，
且主句主语与从句主语一致时，宾语从句可简化为“疑问词+不定式”结构。例如：
She has forgotten how she can open the window.
→She has forgotten how to open the window.
注：当主句谓语动词是tell， ask， show， teach等动词，
且后带双宾语，从句主语和间接宾语一致时，宾语从句可简化为“疑问词+不定式”结构。例如：
Could you tell me how I can get to the station？
→Could you tell me how to get to the station？

方法三：当主句的谓语动词是order（命令），require（需要）等时，
如果主句和从句的主语不一致，宾语从句可简化为“名词（代词）+不定式”结构。例如：
The headmaster ordered that we should start at once.
→ The headmaster ordered us to start at once.

方法四：某些动词后的宾语从句，可以用介词加动名词（短语）等其他形式简化。例如：
He insisted that he should go with us.
→He insisted on going with us.
The poor boy doesn’t know when and where he was born.
→The poor boy doesn’t know the time and the place of his birth.

方法五：某些动词后面的宾语从句可转化为“宾语+V-ing形式（作宾语补足语）”结构。例如：
Liu Ping found that there was a wallet lying on the ground.
→ Liu Ping found a wallet lying on the ground.

方法六：动词seem后的宾语从句，也可以用不定式（短语）来简化，但句型需要进行适当的变化。例如：
It seemed that the boys were going to win.
→The boys seemed to win.
除上述方法外，还有一些特殊句式的转化。例如：
I found that it was difficult to learn English well.
→I found it difficult to learn English well.
Soon we found that the ground was covered with thick snow.
→Soon we found the ground covered with thick snow.
They found that the box was very heavy.
