宾语从句是否可以和谓语动词被逗号隔开

Because of the Great Lakes,they learned,Canada has more fresh water than any other country in the world.

这里they learned 后面为什么用了逗号呢 ?那后面还算是宾语从句吗

这种结构就是所谓的自由间接引语。learned在此是”听说“的意思。

They learned that because of the Great Lakes, Canada has more fresh water than any other country in the world. 间接引语。主句为引述分句,引语为从句。说话人强调主句即”听说“这个动作,为主要信息。

Because of the Great Lakes,they learned,Canada has more fresh water than any other country in the world. 自由间接引语。引语作了主句,引述分句以插入语的形式出现。说话人强调引语(主句)。引述分句附带说明,为次要信息。

引述分句还可以放在句末:

Because of the Great Lakes, Canada has more fresh water than any other country in the world, they learned.

Because of the Great Lakes,they learned,Canada has more fresh water than any other country in the world.

这个句子,是把主句插在宾语从句当中。为了区分主、从句,两边加逗号隔开。如果learned 之后没有逗号,那么开头的Because of the Great Lakes,就很可能被误认为修饰主句learned,导致误读。实际上,Because of the Great Lakes 是修饰宾语从句的。如果把它放在句末,就不要逗号了。

They learned (that)Canada has more fresh water than any other country in the world because of the Great Lakes.
