在从句中,那不叫疑问代词,叫连接代词(连接副词)。由连接词引导的句子就叫从句,在有些时候连接词可省略。连接词有what,where,who,whose,whom,which,how,that,unless,if,before,since,because,so,until,once,whether等很多。用哪个连接词引导从句要看他是什么从句,从句意思和从句中所缺的成分而定。
如在Could
you
tell
me
what
you
are
doing?中,主句中tell需要双宾语,tell
sb.sth.所以主句缺少宾语。后面是它的宾语从句。在从句中,doing缺少宾语,what就可在宾语从句中作宾语,指人或物(在名词性从句中指“那一个时用which,指”谁”时用who,其他指人或物/事时都用what)
特殊疑问句中的疑问词在引导从句时叫作连接代词,可以引导名词性从句,即,主语从句,宾语从句,表语从句和同位语从句,如
I
don't
know
what
he
did
yesterday.
What
he
said
surprised
us
.
The
problem
is
where
we
can
get
so
much
money.
I
have
no
idea
when
we
will
have
a
sports
meeting.
