Then he gave advice on ploughing, suggesting that the autumn ploughing should be at a greater depth than the spring ploughing. (秋耕要比春耕深一些,deep的名词形式depth)He also suggested changing crops to get better harvests every year. Finally, he suggested that farmers grow a diverse range of crops next to each other in the fields. ( a diverse range of 多种多样的)Although it has been centuries since Jia Sixie died, Qi Mn Yao Shu is still considered a(n) essential book in China’s agricultural history.(齐民要术被认为是中国农业史上非常重要的一本书)

Grammar
Subject clause
Next we are going to review the grammar in this unit, the subject clauses.
Review
conjunction
Word order
subject-verb
agreement
structure
主语从句:
复合句中, 充当主语的从句
V(实义/系表动词)
【 】
Subject clause
主语从句作主语时,句子谓语一般用______.
单数
主语从句语序:__________.
陈述语序
从属连词

连接代词
作主/宾/表/定,有意义
连接副词
作状语,有意义
that 无意义
whether 是否
what/who
whose/which
when/where
why/how
+
主语从句是在复合句中,充当主语的从句。我们先来看它的结构structure, 主语从句放置在谓语动词之前。我们再来复习下它的连接词conjunctions,按所作的成分可分为3大类:从属连词,不作成分,that和whether, that 无意义,whether为是否;连接代词,可作主语,宾语,表语,定语,有具体意义,如what/who/whose/which;连接副词,作状语,有具体意义,如when/where/why/how
我们再来看一下主谓一致性,subject-verb agreement,主语从句作主语时,句子谓语一般用单数。主语从句语序为陈述语序。
Now, let's do some exercise to consolidate the use of subject clauses.

Find out the subject clauses in the text
Here are 5 subject clauses in the text. let’s check. Excellent. You’ve got all the sentences.
1. However, (what concerned him most )was that farmers often had poor harvests and sometimes even had a serious shortage of food to eat.
2. (How this could be done) was a challenging question at the time.
3. However, (whether it was possible to develop a hybrid of self-pollinating plants such as rice) was a matter of great debate.
4. Today, it is estimated (that about 60 percent of domestic rice consumption in China is comprised of crops generated from Yuan's hybrid strains)....
5. (What impressed people most about Yuan Longping) is his ongoing ability to fulfil his dreams.
what: 从句中做主语
How: 从句中做状语
Whether: 不作成分,是否
that: 不担当成分,起连接作用
What: 从句中做主语
Circle out and analyze the conjunctions
Then, can you circle out and analyze the conjunctions? have a try.let’s check and see together.
1, 主语从句为what concerned him most,连接代词为what,在从句中做主语。
2,主语从句为How this could be done,连接副词为how,在从句中做状语。
3,主语从句为whether it was possible to develop a hybrid of self-pollinating plants such as rice,从属连词为whether, 在从句中不作成分,意思为是否
4,it为形式主语,真正的主语从句为that about 60 percent of domestic rice consumption in China is comprised of crops generated from Yuan's hybrid strains,从属连词为that,在从句中不作成分,没有意思。
5,主语从句为What impressed people most about Yuan Longping,连接代词为what,在从句中做主语。
1. ______________ the research centre is to be set up has not been decided.
