That's because there was something wrong with her bike. 她没和我一起骑自行车去，那是因为她的自行车坏了。 前因后果 Her right foot was injured. That's why she had to drop out of the game. 她的右脚受了伤，那就是她退出比赛的原因。 前果后因 14 wh-ever 连接词引导的名词性从句 whatever/whoever/whomever/whichever 引导名词性从句，意为“任何……”。 Whatever your parents do is good for you. 你父母做的任何事对你都有好处。 Whoever breaks the laws will be punished.任何触犯了法律的人都将受到惩罚。 Whichever one of you gets the highest mark will be given the prize. 你们中的任何人得了高分都将获得这个奖项。 15 it 作形式主语或形式宾语的从句 常用it 作形式主语，真正的主语是后面从句的句型有: It +is +形容词(obvious, true, natural, surprising, good, wonderful, funny, possible, likely, certain, probable, etc.) +that从句 It is obvious that Peter got in touch with his friends. 很明显，彼得和他的朋友取得了联系。 It +is +名词词组(no wonder, an honor, a good thing, a pity, no surprise, etc.) +that 从句. It is a great pity that you can't go abroad for further education. 你不能去国外深造真是一个遗憾。 16 it 作形式主语或形式宾语的从句 常用it 作形式主语，真正的主语是后面从句的句型有: It + is +过去分词(said, reported, thought, expected, decided, announced, arranged, etc.) +that 从句 It is said that the boy has a great gift for language. 据说这个男孩在语言方面很有天赋。 it作形式宾语的句型有: make it clear that... 说清楚...... make it a rule that... 使······成为习惯 take it for granted that... 认为······是理所当然的 see to it that... 务必/一定...... 17 it is/was...that...句型的判定 It is/was+形容词/名词/过去分词+that...，it 是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的从句。 It is/was+ 被强调的部分 +that/who... 是强调句型，去掉 it is/was 和 that/who后，适当调整语序，句意明确。这也是强调句型与主语从句以及其他句式的重要区别之一。 她明天将从美国回来这事很清楚了。 It is clear that she will come back from the USA tomorrow. =That she will come back from the USA tomorrow is clear. 正是明天她将从美国回来。 It is tomorrow that she will come back from the USA. =She will come back from the USA tomorrow. 18 名词性从句中的虚拟语气 在主语从句It is suggested/recommended/important/necessary… that... 中，从句用虚拟语气，即谓语用“(should+) do”形式。 动词advise, suggest, recommend, propose, demand, require, request, order, desire, urge等后的宾语从句用虚拟语气，即谓语用"(should+) do"形式 It is necessary that you (should) apologize to her. 你应该向她道歉，这是有必要的。 The manager demanded that the work (should) be finished before Friday. 经理要求这项工作必须在周五之前完成。 名词advice, suggestion, recommendation, proposal, demand, requirement, request, order, desire等后的表语从句用虚拟语气，即谓语用"(should+)do"形式。 Her request is that a new bike (should) be bought for her. 她的要求是给她买一辆新自行车。 19 Part 03 Practice Combine each pair of sentences using the words in brackets. 1.
