Some key points
定义:在主从复合句中充当表语的句子。
作用:说明主语是什么。可以由名词、形容词或相当于名词或形容词的词或短语充当表语的成分。然而要注意,表语从句属于名词性从句,只是表语的其中一种情况——由名词充当表语。
判断:表语在系动词之后出现。
常见系动词:
状态类:be动词, seem, appear, keep, remain, stay …
感官类:look, smell, taste, sound, feel …
变化类:become, get, turn, grow, fall, come, go …

表语从句一定是陈述语序。
例:问题是他什么时候能到。
The question is when will he come.
The question is when he will come.
if可以引导宾语从句,但是不能引导表语从句,引导表语从句表达“是否”只能用 whether。
例:问题是他是否通过了测试。
The question is if he has passed the test.
The question is whether he has passed the test.
