STEP B GRAMMAR TIP
Use that clauses after stative verbs like think, hear, believe, hope, know, forget, and remember.
think、 hear、 believe、 hope、 know、 forgot、 remember など状態を表す動詞の後にthat 節を置きます。-
- I think that you need to have fun at work.
- あなたは仕事で楽しむことが必要だと思います。
- I hope that you get the job.
- 仕事に就けることを願っています。
-
To make a negative sentence with think or believe, use the negative form of think or believe, not the that clause verb.
think または believeを使った文を否定にするには、that節の動詞を否定形にするのではなく、thinkまたはbelieveなどの動詞を否定形にします。
He isn’t sick. → I don’t think that he is sick.
-
- I don’t believe that he said yes.
- 彼がイエスと言ったとは信じません。
- I don’t think that I can finish the task today.
- 今日中にタスクを終了できるとは思いません。
- I don’t believe that he said yes.
-
You can cut that from the beginning of these that clauses with no change in meaning.
以下のようなthat節のthatは省略することができ、意味は変わりません。 -
- I think you need to have fun at work.
- あなたは仕事で楽しむことが必要だと思います。
- I don’t believe he said yes.
- 彼がイエスと言ったとは信じません。
UNDERSTAND
SPEAKING
Sho and Tim are going to the convenience store to get some coffee.
ショウとティムは、コーヒーを買いにコンビニに行きました。
 |
- Tim:
So, I heard that Ai is going on maternity leave soon.
- Sho:
Yeah… I’m happy for her, but I’m also really sad. She’s one of the few friends I have here, and she only has three weeks left before she goes on leave.
- Tim:
You know what? You need to find friends outside work. Come on, let’s go out tonight and meet some people!
- Sho:
I can’t. I have to work on that presentation after dinner.
- Tim:
Seriously? You work too much, buddy! I think you need to leave work at work and make time for fun. Don’t you want to have a social life?
- Sho:
I do want to have a social life, but Mr. Goto gave me some extra tasks earlier today. He told me to finish them by tomorrow morning.
- Tim:
I know that Mr. Goto is your boss, but you should learn how to say no when he gives you too many tasks. I don’t think you’ll get in trouble for that. He knows that you’re really busy.
TRIVIA
To add emphasis, you can add the verb do before the plain form of verbs. Native speakers usually do this to emphasize a correction or emotion. The do is usually italicized when written and stressed when spoken.
O That’s not true! I do want to help!
O Well, he does get angry a lot…
O What? I did call you last night.
動詞を強調するために、動詞の前に「do」をつけることができます。ネイティブスピーカーは、訂正や感情を表すために使います。通常、英文を書く際には斜字体にし、話す際にはそこにストレスを置きます。
O そんなことはないです！私は「本当に」助けたいんです！
O ええ、彼は「確かに」よく怒ります。。。
O え？昨晩私は「確かに」あなたに電話しました。
