二、 insist 作及物动词的用法

insist的此种用法只能接从句作宾语。

1)insist作“坚决要求”、“一定要”,其宾语从句常用与将来事实相反的虚拟语气,即should+动词原形,其中should可以省略。如:

Her father insists that she (should) learn music after she leaves school. 

2) insist作"坚持说"、"坚持认为"时,用陈述语气。如:

Alice insisted that she had done nothing wrong.

3) insist that...有时与insist on / upon互换。如上面1)、2)中的两个例句可分别改写为:

Her father insists on her learning music after she leaves school.

Alice insisted on her having done nothing wrong.

 

The doctor insisted that he__________seriously ill and that he__________operated on immediately.

A.be;should be                                   B.was ; be
