insist的用法

insist在中学阶段,只要掌握以下三种用法即可：
1、insist on/upon (sb/one's) (doing) sth
如：You should insist on your dream.
You should insist upon doing exercise every day.
You should insist on her apologizing to you.
2、insist + that引导的宾语从句
1）如果insist翻译为“坚持说/坚持认为”,即that从句表示已经发生的动作时,则宾语从句使用陈述语气,即从句该用什么时态就用什么时态,当然还要和主句时态保持呼应.
如：She insisted that she was right.
She insisted (that) she had been to Beijing the year before.
2）如果insist翻译为“坚持要求/坚持主张”,即that从句的动作当时尚未发生的话,则宾语从句必须使用虚拟语气,即从句谓语动词由“should + 动词原形”构成,且should可以省略.
如：He insisted that she (should) say sorry to him frist.
