在英語(yǔ)復(fù)合句中，從句中動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)，尤其是賓語(yǔ)從句中動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)，通常在一定程度上受到主句中動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)制約，英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法上稱這種現(xiàn)象為時(shí)態(tài)呼應(yīng)。時(shí)態(tài)呼應(yīng)普通應(yīng)遵照以下幾條標(biāo)準(zhǔn)：

一、假如主句中動(dòng)詞是過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)，賓語(yǔ)從句中動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)通常是各種過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)一個(gè)，詳細(xì)用過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)哪一個(gè)，則需要依據(jù)詳細(xì)意義來(lái)確定。普通來(lái)說(shuō)：62/2151．假如主句中動(dòng)作與賓語(yǔ)從句中動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生，則從句中動(dòng)詞用普通過(guò)去時(shí)，或依據(jù)詳細(xì)意義需要用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)。如：

2．假如賓語(yǔ)從句中動(dòng)作發(fā)生在主句動(dòng)作之前，則從句中動(dòng)詞用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。如：Iknewhestudiedinthisschool．Iknewshewas

studyingEnglishinthisschoolintheyearsfrom1985to1987．Hesaidthathehadvisitedhisoldfriends．63/2153．假如賓語(yǔ)從句中動(dòng)作在主句動(dòng)作發(fā)生前已連續(xù)了一段時(shí)間，則從句中動(dòng)詞用過(guò)去完成時(shí)或過(guò)去完成進(jìn)行時(shí)。如：

4．假如賓語(yǔ)從句中動(dòng)作發(fā)生在主句動(dòng)作之后，則從句中動(dòng)詞用普通過(guò)去未來(lái)時(shí)，或過(guò)去未來(lái)進(jìn)行時(shí)，或過(guò)去未來(lái)完成時(shí)。如：

Hesaidthatthepatienthadbeenunderhistreatmentforthreeyears．Iknewthathehadbeenworkingheresince1960．Hesaidthattheywouldreadthebookthefollowingyear．Hesaidthattheywouldbereadingwhenshecame.

64/215不過(guò)，假如賓語(yǔ)從句表示是普通真理或習(xí)慣性行為，則不受時(shí)態(tài)呼應(yīng)限制。如：

Thestudentsknewthatwaterconsistsofoxygenandhydrogen．Hetoldhisteacherthathetakesabathonceaweekinwinter．65/215二、假如主句中動(dòng)詞是現(xiàn)在時(shí)或未來(lái)時(shí)，則賓語(yǔ)從句中動(dòng)詞可依據(jù)意義需要確定任何一個(gè)時(shí)態(tài)。如：IknowthatmybrotherhasgonetoShanghai．IhavejustlearnedthathewenttoChangshayesterday．Ishalltellthedoctorthatmyclassmatevomitedthreetimeslastnight．66/215三、定語(yǔ)從句及表示原因、結(jié)果、比較、讓步等狀語(yǔ)從句普通不受時(shí)態(tài)呼應(yīng)限制。如：NowheisreadingthebookwhichIboughtthedaybeforeyesterday．Hedidn’tgooutlastnightbecausehewillhaveanexaminationtomorrow．Hisbloodpressurewashigherlastyearthanitisthisyear．四、主語(yǔ)從句、表語(yǔ)從句普通要受時(shí)態(tài)限制。如：67/215Now,dothetaskonPages167-168inyourtextbook.
