【考例1】I don’t know ________ the charity show tomorrow. Can you tell me? (江苏宿迁中考题)
A. when we start B. when did we start
C. when we will start D. when will we start
【分析】答案选C。由于宾语从句只能用陈述句词序，不能用疑问词词序，故可排除B和D；再根据句中的tomorrow（明天）可知，句子应用将来时态，故选C，不选A。
【考例2】Miss Green didn’t tell us ________ in 2002, but now she lives in our school. (新疆阜康中考题)
A. where does she live B. where she lives
C. where did she live D. where she lived
【分析】答案选D。由于主句为一般过去时，并且空格后出现了in 2002（在2002年）这样的时间状语，所以宾语从句应用一般过去时，而不用一般现在时，故可排除A和B；再根据宾语从句用陈述句词序的原则，可排除C。
考点3 考查宾语从句“引导词”的选择
引导宾语从句的引导词有三类：
一是连词that, if, whether；
二是连接代词who, whom, whose, what, which等；
三是连接副词when, where, how, why等。
区分这三类“引导词”主要看句意。比较：
—Can you tell me know how he came here? 你能告诉我他是如何来这儿的吗？
—Perhaps by train. 可能是坐火车来的。
—Can you tell me when he came here? 你能告诉我他是什么时候来这儿的吗？
—Last week. 上个星期。
—Can you tell me why he came here? 你能告诉我他为什么来这儿吗？
—To see you. 是来看你。
【考例1】—Do you know ________ the man with sunglasses is?
—I’m not sure. Maybe a reporter. (江西中考题)
A. who B. what C. where D. how
【分析】答案选B。根据句中Maybe a reporter（也许是一名记者）可知，对方在是询问这个人的身份，故选what。比如：What’s your father? 你父亲是干什么的？
【考例2】—Do you remember ________ he came here?
—Of course I do. His father drove him here. (江西省中考题)
A. whether B. when C. how D. why
【分析】答案选C。根据答句His father drove him here（他父亲是才开车来这儿的）可知，前面一句的宾语从句应由表示方式的how来引导。
