高中英语语法讲解——名词性从句
一、名词性从句的三类连词
名词性从句包括主语从句,表语从句,宾语从句和同位语从句。根据这些从句的共同特性,名词性从句的连词主要可以分成三类:that, if/ whether和wh-(疑问词)。
1.如果一个陈述句被用来作为另一个句子的主语、表语、宾语或同位语,那么我们一般要用that作为连词。that本身在句子中没有意思,只起连接作用。
eg. 陈述句:Science is developing very fast.
主语从句:It is known to all that science is developing very fast.
表语从句:The fact is that science is developing very fast.
宾语从句:Everyone knows that science is developing very fast.
同位语从句:The fact that science is developing very fast is known to all.
2.如果一个一般疑问句被用来作为另一个句子的主语、表语、宾语或同位语,那么我们要用whether或if作为连词。whether/ if在句子中的意思是“是否”。变成名词性从句后,原来的疑问句的词序要改成陈述句的词序(主语+谓语)。
eg. 一般疑问句:Shall we have a meeting this afternoon?
主语从句:Whether we shall have a meeting this afternoon hasn’t been decided yet.
或:It hasn’t been decided yet whether we shall have a meeting this afternoon.
表语从句:The question is whether we shall have a meeting this afternoon.
宾语从句:Do you know whether we shall have a meeting this afternoon?
同位语从句:None of us
