句子结构和时态的问题
1,He told me (that he would) go to the college the next year .
能省略那么多吗?是不是应该是He told me (that) he wouldgo to the college the next year .
2,这个句子的结构：Who do you think the public might choose as their favorite singer this year?
3,This is the place where we lived for 5 years.
这句话中的定语从句的内容如果变成一个简单句的话,是不是时态就“必须”用完成时了?即：We had lived there for 5 years.（是不是在简单句中,和一段时间连用的,必须用完成时?）

Answer 1

1.不能那样省略,可以省略成：
He told me to go to college the next year.
此句含有固定搭配tell sb to do sth“告诉某人去做某事”.
如果使用宾语从句,则此从句的引导词that的确可以省略,它在宾语从句不做任何成分.
2.此句采用了do you think做为插入语.该类插入语必须放在特殊疑问句的疑问词之后,然后要求其后的成分采用陈述句序,即为正常的主谓宾等顺序：疑问词 + 插入语(do you think) + 陈述句?
如：How old is he?变成：How old do you think he is?
该句如果没有插入语do you think,即为一个简单的特殊疑问句：
Who might the public choose as their favorite singer this year?
3.不是.该句要忠于原句的时态,即定语从句为：we lived there for 5 years.
而且就要变,也必须是现在完成时即：We have lived there for 5 years.因为过去完成时是截止到过去某个时刻,而现在完成时是截止到现在的.而该句主句中的is暗示是截止到现在为止.
第二种说法也是错误的.用一段时间做时间状语,句子并不一定要用完成时.
只有句子明确表明/暗示某个动作/状态截止到过去的某个时刻/现在为止,则才必须采用过去完成时/现在完成时.如果没有明确的表明/暗示,则不必如此.
比如该句就是如此：We lived there for 5 years.
该单句无法看出是截止到什么时候为止已经五年,只是强调过去的这个动作lived延续了五年,所以只须使用一般过去时即可.
