第一句宾语从句不是个间接引语吗,为什么不退一时态用过去时?
第二句引号里的为什么用现在进行时?
答
呃,一般讲,间接引语中的时态只是受引语句谓语动词的制约,有时候也不变.第一句意思是报纸说明天会下雨,从句讲的是明天的事,用将来时.第二句用了引号,是部分同时关系,她问你的时候在做什么,人在进行对话是都是现在时....she asked me what was I doing（just now）.宾语从句不是该用陈述语序吗？是啊 这不关陈述不陈述的问题,这句就和你那第一句差不多了,她过去一时间点问我在做什么,所以从句用过去进行时.这和第一句(The newspaper says that it is going to rain tomorrow)道理一样.
