It shows (that) the super star Dads have to finish the tasks together with their children. Im glad that my favourite star Jimmy Lin is in it. We believe (that) the program will become hotter in the future. I hope (that) I will have a chance to go there. Subject + Verb/be adj. + (that) clause. Object clauses introduced by that Step2 Presentation. An object clause functions as the object of a sentence. We use that to introduce an object clause that is a statement. An object clause can be put after verbs such as say, find, know, think, believe, hope, notice and mean. e.g. Some people believe that colours can influence our moods. She hopes that yellow can bring her success. An object clause can also follow adjectives such as certain, sure and glad. e.g. He is glad that the walls in his room are blue. She is sure that yellow can bring her good luck. Step3 Practice Sandy is chatting online with Millie about room colours. Try to add that to each object clause. Millie: Did you know there is a relationship between colours and moods? Sandy: Certainly. I think colours influence our everyday lives in many ways. Millie: How should we choose the colours for the rooms of a house? Sandy: Most people think light colours are better than dark ones.Millie: Yes. I notice light colours make rooms seem larger. Sandy: Sure. I also know blue can make us feel relaxed Millie: Yes. My mum says blue is suitable for bedrooms. I also find some people prefer orange for their dining rooms. Sandy: True, but it depends on personal taste. Anyway, we should choose the colour which makes us fell comfortable. Step4 Extension. When the main clause uses the simple present tense or future tense, the object clause still uses the original tense. e.g. I dont think (that) you are right. 2. When the main clause uses the simple past tense, the tense in the object clause should be changed into the corresponding past tense. e.g. He told me (that) he would go back home soon. 3. When the object clause is used to express the objective facts, truths, proverbs or natural phenomena, we still use the original tense. e.g. My grandpa told me (that) the earth is round. Step 5 Exercises 1.She knows. Timmy is a good boy. 2. His father said. One and one is two. 3. He said. Lucy often goes shopping. 4. He is doing his homework. He said. 5. We realize.
