主语从句,表语从句
在复合句中充当句子主语的从句叫主语从句。
【要点精讲】
一、whether, who, what, which, when, where, how, why等都可引导主语从句。如:
Whether we will go for an outing tomorrow remains unknown.
What I need most now is more time.
二、that引导主语从句时,that在句中不作句子成分,且无实际意义。当that引导的主语从句置于句首时,that不能省略;如果用it作形式主语,而把主语从句放在句末时,that可以省略。
如:
That I will take an English test next week is certain.
It is a pity (that) you made such a careless mistake.
三、it作形式主语的几种常见句型
①It + be + n. +主语从句。常用于此句型中的名词有fact, rule, pleasure, truth, pity等。如:
It is a fact that English is being accepted as an international language.
②It + be + adj. +主语从句。常用于此句型中的形容词有true, important, necessary, clear, certain等。如:
It's true that the earth is round.
③It + v. +主语从句。常用于此句型中的动词有seem, appear, happen, follow等。如:
It appears unlikely that interest rates will fall further.
④It + be +动词-ed形式+主语从句。常用于此句型中的动词-ed形式有known, said, proved, asked, suggested等。如:
It's well known that Thomas Edison invented the electric lamp.
注意:if和whether都可引导主语从句,但if不能引导位于句首的主语从句。但如果用it作形式主语,而把主语从句放在句
