Word Order in a Subordinate Clause 从句的顺序
在写英语复合句时，除了需要注意照应主句与从句的时态、人称、连接词语
等等之外，还应特别致意从句部分的语序。
英语从句经常用疑问词引导，如 what, who 等，但与疑问词引导的简单问句不同。从句不使用疑问句语序，而使用陈述句语序，即按主语在前、谓语在后的顺序排列。还应注意，因为从句不使用疑问倒装结构，所以一般现在时和一般过去时不再用 do, does, did 等助动词帮助构成从句结构。
1．常用来引导从句的疑问词有 what, when,where, who, whether, how 等，这些疑问词一般仍保留原有的疑问含义。
She wanted to know when my brother had visited Paris.
她想知道我哥哥什么时候游览过巴黎。
Could you please tell me where we are going.
你能告诉我我们到哪里去吗？
How he plays the trick is a secret.
他怎么变这个戏法是个秘密。
2. Whether 可以引导主语从句， if 不能引导主语从句，但是两者都能引导宾语从
句。引导宾语从句时，两者都表示“是否”的意思，只是 if 后面不能加 or not。
