关于think用法的几点注意事项
关于think 用法的几点注意事项
1. 作谓语动词时，否定前移现象. 类似的词有：suppose, believe, expect, imagine
I don’t think he will come. /I don’t imagine they will come if it rains. /I don’t think I know you.
2．反意疑问部分主谓的选择. 当复合句的主语是第一人称，而谓语动词是think ，believe, suppose,imagine, expect等表示认为，猜想，相信的词的一般现在时时， 反意疑问句的主谓与从句一致。
I think that it is a good thing, isn’t it? /I don’t suppose he cares, does he?
Compare ：You never told us why his brother was thrown into prison, did you?
He says that it is true, doesn’t he?
This is the first time you have operated a computer, isn’t it?
3．双重疑问句. 对它的宾语从句中的某一部分提问时，语序应是疑问词+ +宾语从句其余部分。
和它这种用法相同的词还有say, suppose, imagine, etc.
What do you think the ocean bottom is made up of?
Which way do you imagine he went?
What do you imagine has happened to him?
Who do you think is fit for the job?
Whom do you think he lives with?
4、简单答语. So 作代词时，可以作宾语，用在动词think, hope, expect, suppose, imagine, believe 等的后面。 Do you believe he will come? ---Yes, I believe so./ No, I believe not./ I don’t believe so.
But: Will it rain tomorrow? ----I hope so./ I hope not
5. 过去完成时表“曾认为，本认为”。类似的词还有hope, plan, want, expect, suppose, mean，Intend ，wish. We had hoped(=hoped to have caught) to catch the early bus, but found it had left.
I hadn’t expected that I should get the first prize.
She had thought of paying us a visit, but the weather made her change her plan.

关于否定转移的补充
1． 若否定不转移，则否定意义较强，因此语义不委婉。
2． 当 think以过去时，过去进行时或过去完成时，现在完成时或现在进行时出现时，不用转移。
I thought that you hadn’t finished the job. I was thinking that you wouldn’t come to my help.
I had thought he wouldn’t come to my help. I’ve supposed that I won’t trouble you again.
I’ve been thinking that the sky won’t fall down. 我一直相信天不会塌下来。
3． 当 think前有副词修饰语时，不转移。
I often/always think that you are not fit for that job. I really think you needn’t worry about his safety。
4． 当 think前有助动词do 表强调时，不转移。
I do think that you shouldn’t do that. I do think it is wise of him to do so。
5. 当think 用在疑问句中时。
Why do you think I can’t change your note. Do you think my mother wouldn’t permit this?
6. 当think 与情态动词连用时。 He must think I am not for the job。
7．当宾语从句有no ， never， hardly， 等否定副词时。 I believe John never tells a lie.
Can you think what his job is?是宾语从句。
What can you think his job is?中can you think是插入语。
第一句是宾语从句 what his job is 这个句子作为think 的宾语，作宾语的疑问句要写成陈述句语序，所以才不是写can you think what is his job?这是错的。
第二句，之所以不能写成what can you think his job is?是因为这个句子是错的。can you think 不能这样当成插入语。这个句子 有is 和 think 两个动词。而且并没有从句的迹象。一个句子是不可能有两个谓语的，除非有连接词 象and 这样的把两个动词并列起来才行。
如果改成what can you think about what his job is？应该是对了
