表語從句 在復合句中作表語的從句叫表語從句。引導表語從句的關聯(lián)詞與引導主語從句的關聯(lián)詞大致一樣,表語從句位于連系動詞后,一般結構是“主語+連系動詞+表語從句”??梢越颖碚Z從句的連系動詞有:be, look, remain, seem等。注意:關聯(lián)詞不能省略,并且從句用陳述語序。例如: The fact is that we have lost the game. That is why he didn't come to the meeting. 需要注意的,當主語是reason時,表語從句要用that引導而不是because。但是reason 后面的定語從句可以用why 或that引導。例如:The reason why he was late was that he missed the train by one minute this morning 【附加】在名詞性從句中that與what的區(qū)別: that在名詞性從句中不充當句子成分,只起連接作用,沒有意義,不能省略(在賓語從句中能省略)。 如:That they are good at English is known to us all. The problem is that we don't have enough money. what在名詞性從句中充當句子成分,起連接作用,有意義,不能省略。what可以分解成定語從句中的先行詞 + 關系代詞+ that。理解為雙重身份。 如:Do what he says. What (=The thing that) he said was true.
