Do you think 是英语中非常常见的表达方式,主要用于引出疑问、征求意见或表达观点。以下是其主要用法总结。
1. 用于一般疑问句(征求对方意见)
这是最基础的用法,直接询问对方的看法:
Do you think it will rain tomorrow?(你觉得明天会下雨吗?)Do you think she is coming?(你认为她会来吗?)
2. 用于特殊疑问句(疑问词 + do you think + 主语 + 谓语)
当句子包含疑问词(如 what, where, when, why, how 等)时,do you think 插入在疑问词之后、主句之前:
What do you think his name is?(你觉得他叫什么名字?)Where do you think they went?(你认为他们去哪儿了?)Why do you think she left so early?(你觉得她为什么那么早离开?)
注意:这种结构中的主句部分使用陈述语序(主语 + 动词),而不是疑问语序。
3. 表达委婉或礼貌的请求/建议
有时 Do you think... 用于使语气更委婉:
Do you think you could help me with this?(你能帮我一下这个吗?)Do you think it would be possible to reschedule?(你觉得重新安排时间可行吗?)
4. 常见错误提醒
- ❌ 错误:
What do you think is his name?(疑问语序错误) - ✅ 正确:
What do you think his name is? - ❌ 错误:
Where you think did they go? - ✅ 正确:
Where do you think they went?
5. 小结
记住:Do you think 后接的内容应使用陈述句语序,尤其在特殊疑问句中。掌握这一点,就能避免常见语法错误。
