Exploring the rules
Some key points
定义:在英语的句子结构中,如果本该由名词充当的主语、宾语、表语和同位语,由一个句子来充当,那么这个句子就叫名词性从句。
分类:
连接词:that,whether/if,as if/though,as,because,when,where,how,why,what,whatever,who,whoever,whom, whomever,whose, which, whichever
Exploring the rules
1. 如果主语从句太长,为了避免句子结构头重脚轻,可以用it作形式主语,
而把主语从句放在主句谓语部分之后。
例如:It is a pity that you didn’t go to see the film yesterday.
2. it不仅可以作形式主语,还可以作形式宾语,而把作真正宾语的that从句放在句尾,特别是在带复合宾语的句子中。
例如:I took it for granted that they were not coming.

3. 在表语从句中,that仅起连接作用,无意义,在句中不作任何成分,通常不能省略。这种从句往往对主句主语的内容起进一步解释的作用,其结构为“主语+系动词+that从句”。
例如:The fact is that she never knew the secret.
4. 同位语从句的作用是对前面的名词作进一步解释,说明该名词的具体内容。可以跟同位语从句的名词通常是news,idea,fact,word,hope,advice等。引导同位语从句的that一般不能省略。
例如:The news that they couldn’t come upset us.
