What do you think green house gases do? 你认为温室气体有什么作用呢? ▲本句中think后接了一个由what引导的宾语从句。 但应注意的是：特殊宾语从句即当一般疑问句主句的谓语动词是think, believe，suppose，consider, imagine，guess和suggest等时，表疑问的词要放在主句前即句首。 例如： [正] Who do you think will win in the game? [误] Do you think who will win in the game? 当然一般情况下宾语从句的疑问词应放在主句之后，例如： [误] Why do you know we can’t cut down the big tree? [正] Do you know why we can’t cut down the big tree? 2.
