Do you think 作为插入语的情况有两种:
1、如果在疑问句中,do you think紧跟在疑问词/短语之后,且其后的成分采用了陈述句序的话,此时它就是插入语。例:What do you think you can do? 你认为自己能做什么?其中,What为疑问词,而you can do为陈述句序。
2. 如果do you think在从句中使用时,则必须改成you think。例:I‘d like to talk with the boy who (you think) is the cleverest student in your class.
注意:如果不是上述两种情况,则不是插入语。例:Do you think he is a student? 其中he is a student是宾语从句。
