主语从句
一、概述：在句子中起名词作用的各种从句统称为名词性从句。根据它们在句中的语法作用，这类从句又可分为主语从句、同位语从句、表语从句和宾语从句。
二.主语从句主要有四类：
（1）由连词that引导的主语从句:引导词that无含义/在句中不做成分/不可以省。
例如：That you will win the medal seems unlikely.
That you are so indifferent bothers me.
That she survived the accident is a miracle.
（2）用连词 whether 引导的主语从句: whether有含义(是否)/在句中不做成分/不可以省。
注意：引导主语从句，不能用if，只能用whether。
例如：Whether we will hold a party in the open air tomorrow depends on the weather.
Whether she is coming or not doesn’t matter too much.
（3）用连接代词引导的主语从句
在由连接代词who, whose, whom, which, what, whoever, whomever, whichever, whatever 引导的名词性从句中，
其连接代词在句中起名词性作用，担当一定成分.
例如：What you need is more practice.
What I want to know is this.
Whatever we do is to serve the people.
注：whatever / whoever的功用
whatever, whoever在主语从句中不含疑问意义。它引导主语从句，并在从句中作主语、宾语、表语等。
whatever = anything that; whoever = anyone who。要注意和whatever, whoever引导的让步状语从句的区别。
如：
Whoever breaks the law should be punished. （主语从句）
（＝Anyone who breaks the law should be punished. ）
Whoever breaks the law, he should be punished. （让步状语从句）（＝No matter who breaks the law, he should be punished. ）
（4）用连接副词when, where, why, how引导的名词性从句(其连接副词有含义,在句中作状语。)
例如:Where we should leave it is a problem.
When they will come hasn’t been made pubic.
三.注意点: it构成的主语从句
（1）由连词that引导的主语从句，在大多数情况下会放到句子的后面，而用代词it作形式主语。
例如：That light travels in straight lines is known to all.
=It is known to all that light travels in straight lines.
When the plane is to take off has not been announced .
= It has not been announced when the plane is to take off.
(但当what引导的主语从句表示“…的东西”时，一般不用it作形式主语。)
错:It is a book what he wants.
对:What he wants is a book.
另外，需要注意的是，it作形式主语代替主语从句时，要注意和as引导的定语从句的区别。试比较：
It was reported that the US was under the terrorist attack.
As was reported, the US was under the terrorist attack.
（2）常见用it作形式主语的复合句结构
It is a fact that…事实是……
It is good news that ………是好消息
It is a question that ………是个问题
It is common knowledge that ………是常识
类似的名词还有：a pity；a wonder；a good thing； no wonder； surprise等。
例如：It is a mystery to me how it all happened.
It is common knowledge that the whale is not a fish.
It is no surprise that Bob should have won the game.
It’s a pity that you missed the film.
It is +形容词+从句
It is necessary that …有必要……
It is clear that …很清楚……
It is likely that …很可能……
It is important that …重要的是……
类似的形容词还有：strange; natural; obvious; true; good; wonderful; possible; unlikely; quite;
unusual; certain; evident; worth-while; surprising; interesting; astonishing, etc. 例如：It is doubtful whether she will be able to come.
It was really astonishing that he refused to talk to you.
It is essential that he should be here by the weekend.
It seems obvious that we can not go on like this.
It is necessary that you （should）master the computer.
It is important that a student learn English well.
It is likely that a hurricane will arrive soon.
需要注意的是，这类主语从句中，谓语动词很多为“（should）＋动词原形”，即要用虚拟语气。
It is said that …据说……
It is reported that …据报道……
It has been proved that …已证明……
It must be proved that…必须指出……
类似的过去分词还有：known; estimated; expected; believed; thought; hoped; noted; discussed; required;
decided; suggested; demanded; made clear; found out,etc.
例如：It is thought that he is the best player.
It is estimated that the vase is 2000 years old.
It is used to be thought that a new star must be due to a collision between two stars.
It has not been made clear when the new road is to be opened to traffic. It is said that he was killed in the earthquake.
occurred …）that …
如：
It seems that they will win the game.
It makes no difference whether he will attend the meeting or not.
It does not matter if I missed my train.

表语从句
1、概述
用作表语的从句叫作表语从句，它位于主句中的连系动词之后。引导表语从句的词有从属连词that、whether、as though(if)；关系代词who, what, which, whom, whose, whatever, whoever, whomever, whichever等；关系副词when, where, why, how, however, whenever, wherever等。可以接表语从句的连系动词由be, look, remain, seem等。That引导表语从句时，在口语中，间或可以省略。
The trouble is that we are short of money.困难是我们资金短缺。
That is why stone walls are used instead of fences around New England fields.这就是为什么在新英格兰用石头墙而不用栅栏的原因。
At that time, it seemed as if I couldn't think of the right word anyhow.当时,我似乎怎么也想不出一个恰当的字眼来。
2、由从属连词that，whether引导的表语从句。
that在引导表语从句时无词义，而whether有词义，意为、“是否”。这时主句的主语常常是些抽象名词，如question(问题)，trouble(麻烦)，problem(问题)，result(结果)，chance(可能性)，suggestion(建议)，idea(想法)，reason(理由)等。表语从句对主句主语进行说明、解释，使主语的内容具体化。
The trouble is (that) she has lost his money. 麻烦的事是他丢了钱。
The question is whether we need more ice cream.问题是我们是否还需要一些冰淇淋。The problem was that it was too valuable for everyday use.问题是它作为日常之用太贵重了。
What she couldn’t understand was that fewer and fewer students showed interest in her lessons. 我们不能理解越来越少的学生对他的课不感兴趣。
3、由关系代词引导的表语从句。
关系代词who, what, which, whom, whose, whatever, whoever, whomever, whichever 等引导表语从句，在句中作主语、宾语、表语，关系代词不能省略。
The question is which of us should go.问题是我们哪一个应该去。
The problem was who could do the work.问题是谁能做这项工作。
That's what he is worrying about.那就是他在担心的事。
That's what we should do.那是我们应该做的。
4、由关系副词引导的表语从句。
Go and get your coat. It's where you left it. 去把雨衣拿来。就在你原来放的地方。
I had neither a raincoat nor an umbrella. That’s why I got wet through. 我们既没伞也没雨衣，这是我们淋湿的原因。
That is how mice ruin many stores of grain every year.那就是老鼠是怎样每年损害大量粮食的。
That is what he is worried about.那就是他所担心的。
5、由连词because，as if/as though等引导的表语从句。
It looked as if it was going to snow.看起来好像要下雪了。
That's because we never thought of it.这是因为我们从未想过此事。
It seems as if he didn’t know the answer.好像他不知道答案。
可以接表语从句的系动词有：
1：be（being,been,am,is,are,was,were)
2: feel , seem , look, appear ,sound,
taste , smell
3: stand , lie , remain ,keep, stay
4: become ,get , grow , turn ,go ,come, run,
fall
5: prove, turn out
系动词的固定搭配:
come true, fall asleep, fall ill, go bad, come right, run wild
连接词：that / whether /as if /as
though (if不引导表语从句)
连接代词：who / whom / whose / which
/ what
连接副词：when / where / why / how /
because
注：引导表语从句的连词that间或可以省略。
The truth is（that）I didn't go there. 事实是我没去那儿。
［考题1］The traditional view is ____ we sleep because our brain is “p ro grammed” to make us do so.
A. when
B. why
C. whether
D. that
［答案］ D
［解析］下划线处之后是包含一个原因状语从句的表语从句，如果看不出它是充当整个句子结构的表语从句将难以把握整个句子的意思。因此，应选择可引导名词性从句且不充当任何成分的that。
［考题2］ You are saying that everyone should be equal, and this is ____ I disagree.
A. why
B. where
C. what
D. how
［答案］ B
［解析］下划线处的引导词引导系动词is后的表语从句并在该表语从句中充当地点状语(“disagree”属于不及物动词，“I disagree”本身是完整的主谓结构)，下划线应填入引导词where，表语从句“where I disagree”的意思是“我不同意之处、我不同意的地方”。
［考题3］— I drove to Zhuhai for the air show last week.
— Is that ____ you had a few days off?
A. why
B. when
C. what
D. where
［答案］ A
［解析］下划线处的引导词引导与系动词is连用的表语从句并在该表语从句中充当原因状语，下划线应填入表示“因此……”(指因某种原因所造成的结果)的引导词why。
［考题4］____ she couldn’t understand was ____ fewer and fewer stu dents showed interest in her lessons.
A. What; why
B. That; what
C. What; because
D. Why; that
［答案］ A
［解析］第一个下划线处的引导词引导主语从句并在该主语从句中充当宾语，特指她所不理解的事情，应填入关系代词型的引导词what；第二个下划线处表示“因此……”(指因某种原因所造成的后果，由why引导对应的名词性从句)而不是“为什么……”(指原因、理由，由because引导对应的名词性从句)，应填入引导词why。
［考题5］ ____ made the school proud was ____ more than 90% of the s tudents had been admitted to key universities.
A. What; because
B. What; that
C. That; what
D. That; because
［答案］ B
［解析］第一个下划线处的引导词引导主语从句并在该主语从句中充当主语，特指令校方骄傲的事情，应选用关系代词型的引导词what；第二个下划线处引导表语从句表示原因、理由，应由that引导对应的名词性从句。
［考题6］—Are you still thinking about yesterday’s game?
—Oh, that’s ____.
A. what makes me feel excited
B. whatever I feel excited about
C. how I feel about it
D. when I feel excited
［答案］ A
［解析］ A选项的意思是“令我感觉激动的事物”； B选项的意思是“我觉得激动的任何事物”； C选项的意思是“我对它感觉的方式”； D选项的意思是“令我感觉激动的时间”。四个选项中A最适合跟代表“game”的主语that对应，充当表语从句。
表语从句与宾语从句的关系
不属于的
宾语从句和表语从句都属于名词性从句。其作用跟名词在句中的作用相同。故充当宾语的句子叫宾语从句，充当表语的句子叫表语从句。
宾语从句
(1)对于宾语从句要掌握以下三点
①语序: 从句的语序必须是陈述句语序, 即“主语 + 谓语”这种形式。
②时态: 当主句是一般现在时或一般将来时的时候, 从句可以是任何时态, 而当主句是一般过去时的时候, 从句, 从句时态必须是过去时范围的时态, 即(一般过去时, 过去进行时, 过去完成时, 过去将来时)。
③连接词: 当从句意思完整, 主句意思肯定时, 连接词用that, 且可以省去, 当从句意思完整, 主句意思不确定或含否定含意时, 常用if或whether(是否), 当从句意思不完整时, 连接词则是代替不完整部分的特殊疑问词。
表语从句
在句子中起表语作用的从句叫做表语从句，位于主句系动词的后面。表语从句的引导词和主语从句的引导词相同。也是名词性从句的一种。
如： What the police want to know is when you enred red the room警察想知道的是你什么时候进的房间。
The The trouble is that we are short of funds困难是我们缺乏资金。
This This is what we should do这是我们应当做的。
That”s s why I want you to work there那就是我要你在那儿工作的原因。
His His first question was whether Mr. Smith had arrived yet他的第一个问题是史密斯先生到了没有。
注意：从句中的疑问句用正常语序，即陈述语序。
as as if, as though, becau也可用来引导表语从句。
She She seems as if she had done a great thing她看起来好像做了一件大事。
It It is because you eat too much那是因为你吃得太多了。

语法要点剖析 一、名词性从句 主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句，在整个句子中所起的作用，相当于一个名词。因此，这四种从句通称为名词性从句。 引导名词性从句的连接词可分为三类： 连接词：that, whether, if （不充当从句的任何成分） 连接代词：what, whatever, who, whoever, whom, whose, which. 连接副词：when, where, how, why 1. 主语从句 作句子主语的从句叫主语从句。主语从句通常由从属连词that，whether，if 和连接代词what，who，which，whatever，whoever以及连接副词how，when，where，why等词引导。that在句中无词义，只起连接作用；连接代词和连接副 词在句中既保留自己的疑问含义、又起连接作用，在从句中充当从句的成分。例如： What he wants to tell us is not clear. 他要跟我们说什么，还不清楚。 It is known to us how he became a writer. 我们都知道他是如何成为一名 作家的。 Where the English evening will be held has not yet been announced. 英语晚会将在哪里举行，还没有宣布。 有时为避免句子头重脚轻，常用形式主语it代替主语从句作形式主语放于句首，而把主语从句置于句末。主语从句后的谓语动词一般用单数形式。常用句型如下： （1）It + be + 名词+ that从句（2）It + be + 形容词+ that从句 （3）It + be + 动词的过去分词+ that从句（4）It + 不及物动词+ that 从句 另注意在主语从句中用来表示惊奇、不相信、惋惜、理应如此等语气时，谓语动词要用虚拟语气“(should) +do”，常用的句型有： It is necessary (important, natural, strange, etc.) that … It is a pity (a shame, no wonder, etc.) that… It is suggested (requested, proposed, desired, etc.) that… 2. 宾语从句 名词句用作宾语的从句叫宾语从句。引导宾语从句的关联词与引导主语从句表语从句的关联词大致一样，在句中可以作谓语动词或介词及非谓语动词的宾语。 1. 由连接词that引导的宾语从句 由连接词that引导宾语从句时，that在句中不担任任何成分，在口语或非正式的文体中常被省去，但如从句是并列句时,第二个分句前的that不可省。例如：He has told me that he will go to Shanghai tomorrow.他已经告诉我他明天要去 上海。 We must never think (that) we are good in everything while others are good in nothing. 我们决不能认为自己什么都好，别人什么都不好。

主语从句 一、主语从句的连词分三类 （1）从属连词引导的主语从句（that whether if） that引导的主语从句:引导词that无含义/在句中不做成分/不可以省。That 引导主语从句通常用it 作形式主语。 That she survived the accident is a miracle. whether有含义(是否)/在句中不做成分/不可以省。 注意：引导主语从句，不能用if不能在开头，只能用whether。 Whether she is coming or not doesn’t matter too much. （2）用连接代词引导的主语从句 在由连接代词who, whose, whom, which, what, whoever, whomever, whichever, whatever引导的名词性从句中，其连接代词在句中起名词性作用，担当一定成分. 例如Whatever we do is to serve the people. 注：whatever / whoever的功用 whatever = anything that; whoever = anyone who。要注意和whatever, whoever 引导的让步状语从句的区别。 如：Whoever breaks the law should be punished. （主语从句） （＝Anyone who breaks the law should be punished. ） Whoever breaks the law, he should be punished. （让步状语从句） （＝No matter who breaks the law, he should be punished. ） （3）用连接副词when, where, why, how引导的名词性从句(其连接副词有含义,在句中作状语。) 例如:Where we should leave it is a problem.

高中英语语法主语从句 第一节主语从句 1．考点解析。 1．主语从句一般分为三类：由what等代词引导的主语从句；由连词that 引导主语从句，多数情况下由it作形式主语，that从句放到句子后面去；由连接代词或连接副词（或whether）引导的主语从句。 What they are after is beauty. It is not your fault that we can’t arrive on time. When they will arrive has not been decided. 2. 由关系代词what引导的主语从句，也可由whatever（“所…的一切”）或 whoever（“一切…的人”）引导。 Whatever he wants is your support. Whoever comes will be welcome. 3. 大多数主语从句都可用it代替，作形式主语，把主语从句放在句尾。要注意it代替主语从句和it引导的强调句的区别。强调句的结构是it is/was….+that…，强调人是可把that 换做who，whom，whose。如强调的是状语时，也只能用that,而不能用when, where, how, why等。 It was in Paris that they fell in love with each other. It is the lady who was my English teacher. It was last semester that he won the first prize. 2. 试题详解。 1．______ he needs is more experience. A. Who B. That C. What D.

主语从句 一、概念：在复合句中起主语作用得从句叫主语从句。 （一）连接词 从属连词：that、whether； 关系代词：who, what, which , whom, whose, whatever, whoever, whomever, whichever； 关系副词：when, where, how, why, however, whenever, wherever等； 例：What he said is true、 That you don’t like him is none of my business、 Whether the football game will be played depends on the weather、 主语从句得时态：不受主句得时态影响与限制。 （1）______ he finished writing the composition in such a short time ______(惊讶) us all、（2）______we will go for an outing tomorrow ______（remains，remained）unknown、（3）______ will be our monitor ______(be) decided yet、 （4）______we must study for ______ (be) a question of great importance、 （5）______ caused the accident ______（remains，remained）unknown、 （6）______ you did ______ (be)right、 （7）______ watch ______(be) lost is unknown、 （8）______we need ______(be) time、 （9）______ we need ______(be) good doctors、 小结: （1)主语从句得时态：不受主句得时态影响与限制。 （2)连词位于句首不能省略（3)主语从句大多数情况下视为三单,但也有例外,如例9 1、从属连词that，whether引导得主语从句。 从属连词that，whether在主语从句中得作用只就是引导主语从句，在从句中不担任成分，不能省略。 例：__________ they will go is certain、 __________ she will come or not is still a question、 __________ she's coming or not doesn't matter too much、 2、it作形式主语引导主语从句。 如果主语从句太长，为避免句子结构头重脚轻，我们可用it作形式主语，而把主语从句放在主句谓语部分之后。That引导得主语从句可用it代替，that 不可省略。 用作it作形式主语得结构： （1）It is/was +形容词+that 从句 It’s natural that…很自然……It’s obvious that …显而易见…… It’s fortunate that …幸运得就是It’s (im)possible…（不）可能…… It’s unlikely that…不可能It’s strange that…奇怪得就是…… （2）It is/was +名词+that 从句 It’s a pity that…遗憾得就是……It’s a fact that …事实就是…… It’s good news that…就是好消息……It’s a wonder that…不足为奇…… It’s an honour that…非常荣幸……It’s a shame that…真就是可耻…… It’s common knowledge that …就是常识… （3）It +不及物动词+that 从句 It seems that…似乎……It happened that…碰巧…… It appears that…瞧来……It turns out that…结果…… （4）It is/was +过去分词+that 从句 It’s not known that………不得而知It’s said that…据说……
