第一讲 名词性从句的用法
名词性从句是由if, whether, that 和各种疑问词(what where how who however 等)充当连接词所引导的从句,其功同名词一样。
连接词 作用
whether 是否that (本身无词义) 只起连接词作用,引导从句,在从句中不作任何成分
who, whom, whosewhich 哪一个what 什么,所…的 在从句中分别作主语、宾语和定语在从句中分别作主语、宾语和定语在从句中分别作主语、宾语和定语
when什么时候,where什么地方how怎样、怎么,why为什么 除了起连接词作用外,还在从句中作状语
一.主语从句
主语从句是在复合句中充当主语的从句,通常放在主句谓语动词之前或由形式主语it代替,而本身放在句子末尾。
1. It 作形式主语和it引导强调句的比较
It 作形式主语代替主语从句,主要是为了平衡句子结构,主语从句的连接词没有变化。而it引导的强调句则是对句子某一部分进行强调,无论强调的是什么成分,都可用连词that。被强调部分指人是也可用who/whom。例如:
It is a pity that you didn’t go to see the film.
It doesn’t interest me whether you succeed or not.
It is in the morning that the murder took place.
It is John that broke the window.
2. 用it 作形式主语的结构
(1) It is +名词+从句
It is a fact that … 事实是…
It is an honor that …非常荣幸
It is common knowledge that …是常识
(2) it is +形容词+从句
It is natural that… 很自然…
It is strange that… 奇怪的是…
(3) it is +不及物动词+从句
It seems that… 似乎…
It happened that… 碰巧…
(4) it +过去分词+从句
It is reported that… 据报道…
It has been proved that… 已证实…
3. 主语从句不可位于句首的五种情况
(1) if 引导的主语从句不可居于复合句句首。
(2) It is said , (reported) …结构中的主语从句不可提前。例如:
It is said that President Jingo will visit our school next week. (right)
That President Jiang will visit our school next week is said. (wrong)
(3) It happens…, It occurs… 结构中的主语从句不可提前。例如:
It occurred to him that he failed in the examination. (right)
That he failed in the examination occurred to him. (wrong)
(4) It doesn’t matter how/whether …结构中的主语从句不可提前。例如:
It doesn’t matter whether he is wrong or not. (right)
Whether he is wrong or not doesn’t matter. (wrong)
(5) 含主语从句的复合句是疑问句时,主语从句不可提前。例如:
Is it likely that it will rain in the evening (right)
Is that will rain in the evening likely (wrong)
4. What 与that 在引导主语从句时的区别
What 引导主语从句时在句时在从句中充当句子成分,如主语.宾语.表语,而that 则不然。例如:
1) What you said yesterday is right.
2) That she is still alive is a consolation.
二.宾语从句
宾语从句就是在复合句中作宾语的名词性从句,通常放在主句谓语动词(及物动词)或介词之后。
1. 作动词的宾语
(1) 由that引导的宾语从句(that 通常可以省略),例如:
I heard that be joined the army.
(2) 由what, whether (if) 引导的宾语从句,例如:
1) She did not know what had happened.
2) I wonder whether you can change this note for me.
(3) 动词+间接宾语+宾语从句。例如:
She told me that she would accept my invitation.
2. 作介词的宾语
例如:Our success depends upon how well we can cooperate with one another.
3. 作形容词的宾语
例如:I am afraid (that) I’ve made a mistake.
That 引导的从句常跟在下列形容词后作宾语:
Anxious, aware, certain, confident, convinced, determined, glad, proud, surprised, worried, sorry, thankful, ashamed, disappointed, annoyed, pleased, hurt, satisfied, content 等。也可以将此类词后的that 从句的看作原因状语从句。
4. It 可以作为形式宾语
It 不仅可以作为形式主语,还可以作为形式宾语而真正的宾语that 从句则放在句尾,特别是在带复合宾语的句子中。 例如:
We heard it that she would get married next month..
5. 后边不能直接跟that 从句的动词
这类动词有Allow, refuse, let, like, cause, force, admire, condemn, celebrate, dislike, love, help, take, forgive等。这类词后可以用不定式或动名词作宾语,但不可以用that引导的宾语从句。例如:
I admire their winning the match. (right)
I admire that they won the match. (wrong)
6. 不可用that从句作直接宾语的动词
有些动词不可用于“动词+间接宾语+that从句“结构中,常见的有Envy, order, accuse, refuse, impress, forgive, blame, denounce, advise, congratulate等。例如:
He impressed the manager as an honest man. (right)
He impressed the manager that he was an honest man. (wrong)
7. 否定的转移
若主句谓语动词为Think, consider, wuppose, believe, expect, fancy, guess, imagine等,其后的宾语从句若含有否定意义,一般要把否定词转移到主句谓语上,从句谓语用肯定式。例如:
I don’t think this dress fits you well.(我认为这件衣服不适合你穿。)
三.表语从句
表语从句在复合句中作表语的名词性从句,放在系动词之后,一般结构是“主语+连系动词+表语从句”。可以接表语从句的连系动词有be, look, remain, seem等。引导表语从句的that常可省略。另外,常用的还有the reason is that… 和It is because 等结构。例如:
1) The question is whether we can make good preparation in such a short time.
2) This is why we can’t get the support of the people
3) But the fact remains that we are behind the other classes.
4) The reason he is late for school is that he missed the early bus.
四.同位语从句
同位语从句就是在复合句中作名词的同位语的名词性从句。
1. 同位语从句的功能
同位语从句对于名词进一步解释,说明名词的具体内容,一般由that引导,例如:
1) The king’s decision that the prisoner would be set free surprised all the people.
2) The order that all the soldiers should stay still is given by the general.
2. 同位语在句子中的位置
同位语从句有时可以不紧跟在它所说明的名词后面,而是被别的词隔开。例如:
He got the news from Mary that the sports meeting was put off.
3. 同位语从句与定语从句的区别
(1) 定语从句中的that既代替先行词,同时以在从句中作某个成分(主语或宾语),而同位语从句中的that是连词,只起连接主句与从句的作用,不充当句中任何成分。
(2) 定语从句是形容词性的,其功能是修饰先行词,对先行词加以限定,描述定的性质或特征;同位语从句是名词性的,其功能是对名词进行补充说明。例如:
1) The news that he told me is that Tom would go abroad next year.(他告诉我的消息是汤姆明年将出国。)(第一个that引导的从句是定语从句,that在从句中作宾语)
2)The news that Tom would go abroad is told by him.(汤姆将出国的消息是他讲的。)(同位语从句,that在句中不作任何成分

who 人 主语、宾语
whom 人 宾语
which 物 主语、宾语
that 人或物 主语、宾语、表语

2. 关系代词用法注意点(1)只能用that不能用which的5种情况
①当先行词中有人又有物时。如:
Do you know the things and persons that they are talking about
②当先行词为不定代词all, one, few, little, no, some, any, everything, nothing, nobody, none等时。如:
This is all that I want from the school.
③当先行词被only, just, very, right, last等修饰时。如:
This is the very book that I am looking for these days.
④当先行词被最高级修饰时。如:
The TV tower is the highest building that has been built in this city.
⑤当先行词被序数词修饰时。如:

②先行词为those, he和people时。如:

3)whose引导的定语从句注意点
①whose引导定语从句,其后应紧跟名词,构成名词短语。
② whose与它所修饰的名词一起可以作介词的宾语。如:
The boss in whose department he worked had heard the news.他工作所在部门的老板已经听说了这个消息。
③ whose引导的定语从句,其先行词既可以指人也可以指物。
④whose的先行词指物时,可用of which代替,但语序不同,即whose+名词 = the+名词+of which,或= of which + the + 名词。如:
The novel whose title (= the title of which或of which the title) is Red and Black is very interesting.
⑤whose的先行词指人时,可用of whom代替,但语序不同,即whose+名词 = the+名词+of whom,或= of whom + the + 名词。如:
The boy whose mother (= the mother of whom或of whom the mother) is a doctor is my friend
(4)从句中的谓语动词与先行词保持一致
(4) 关系代词在从句中作主语时,从句的谓语动词的人称和数必须与先行词保持一致。如:
Those who are against the plan put up your hands.
Tom is one of the students who were praised by the teacher yesterday.
Tom is the only one of the students who was praised by the teacher yesterday.
四. “介词+which/whom”引导的从句,
介词选用原则
根据定语从句谓语动词的习惯搭配来决定。
This is the book on which I spent 8 dollars.
This is the book for which I paid 8 dollars.
2. 当介词放在关系代词前面时,关系代词只能用whom(指人)或which(指物),且关系代词不能省略。
The man with whom you talked just now is my neighbor.
I can’t find the pen with which I was writing .
3. 当介词位于定语从句末尾时,可用 which/that(指物), who/whom/that(指人)作从句中介词的宾语.而且作介词宾语的关系代词可以省略。
Dad is a person who/whom/that I can easily talk to.
Is this the play which/that you were talking about just now
4. 在一些固定搭配的动词短语中,由于动词和介词不可分割,因此不能把介词置于关系代词之前。如:
This is the watch (that/ which) I am looking for.
The babies (who/ whom/ that) the nurse is looking after are very healthy.
5. 先行词是the way,意为“方式,方法”时,引导定语从句的关系词用that/ in which或省略。
I didn't like the way that/ in which she talked to me.
The way that/ in which he teaches English is interesting.
五. 关系副词when, where和why的用法
关系副词 指代的先行词 充当从句的成分
when 表时间的名词/名词词组 时间状语
where 表地点的名词/名词词组 地点状语
why 表原因的名词 原因状语
1 when
用关系副词when时,先行词指时间,when在定语从句中作时间状语,when可换成“介词+关系代词”。如:
I still remember the day when (= on which) I first came to Nanjing.
2 Where
用关系副词where时,先行词指地点,where在定语从句中作地点状语,where可换成“介词+关系代词”。如:
The school where (= in which) his mother teaches is in the west of the city.
This is the farm where (= on which) we worked when we were young.
3.Why
用关系副词why时,先行词指原因,why在定语从句中作原因状语,why可换成“介词+关系代词”。如:
There are several reasons why (= for which) the boys should be punished.
Tom couldn’t give the teacher the reason why (= for which) he was late for school.
4 关系代词as, which引导非限制定语从句时的区别
(1)as和which都可指主句的整个意思,而不是主句中的某一个词。as引导的非限制性定语从句,既可在主句前,又可在主句后,有时还可插入主句中;而which引导的非限制性定语从句一般置于主句之后。如:
The weather turned out to be very good, which was more than we could expect.
As is known to all, the moon travels round the earth.
(2) as多用于下列习惯用语中
as anybody can see 正如人人都能看到的那样
as is well known = as is known to all 众所周知
as we had expected 正如我们所预料的那样
as often happens 正如经常发生的那样
as has been said before 如上所述
as is mentioned above 正如上面提到的

第三讲 状语从句
状语从句讲解和练习
状语修饰动词、形容词、副词或整个句子。通常由副词、介词短语、动词不定式、分词和从句等担当。例如:
1. Naturally , our grandparents were pleased to get our phone call . (副词)
2. We worked hard , from sunrise to sunset . (介词状短语)
3. To help my disabled aunt , I spend an hour working in her house every day . (不定式)
4. Seen from a distance , the farmhouse looked deserted . (过去分词)
5. I know how to light a camp fire because I had done it before .(原因状语从句)
状语的位置比较灵活,可以位于句首、句末或句中。enough用作状语修饰形容词和副词时必须后置。
状语从句主要用来修饰主句或主句的谓语。一般可分为九大类,分别表示时间、地点、原因、目的、结果、条件、让步、比较和方式。尽管种类较多,但由于状语从句与汉语结构和用法相似,所以理解和掌握它并不难。状语从句的关键是要掌握引导不同状语从句的常用连接词
和特殊的连接词即考点。现分别列举如下:
1. 时间状语从句
常用引导词:when, as, while, as soon as, while, before, after, since , till, until
特殊引导词:the minute, the moment, the second, every time, the day,the instant, immediately , directly, no sooner … than, hardly …when, scarcely … when
I didn’t realize how special my mother was until I became an adult.
While John was watching TV, his wife was cooking.
The children ran away from the orchard(果园) the moment they saw the guard.
No sooner had I arrived home than it began to rain.
Every time I listen to your advice, I get into trouble.
When , while, as都可解释为“当```的时候”但侧重点有所不同。
1) When
Eg: When I arrived home , I had a little rest.
注意点:
when 从句的主语与主句主语相同,谓语动词是be 动词时,从句主语和be可以省略。
Eg: When (she was) walking along the street, she met her class teacher.
2) As
As 除了表示“当```的时候”,还可表示为“一面```一面”,“随着”
Eg: He sang as he danced.(一面```一面)
You will grow wiser as you grow older.(随着)
3) While表示“当```的时候”强调主句的动作和从句的动作同时发生,从句一般用进行时,从句动词必须是延续性动词。
Eg: While we were working, they were having a rest.
While (they were) having a discussion, they got very confused.
注意点:
while 有对比的含义,解释为“然而”。
eg: I prefer black tee, while he likes coffee.
1. until, not…until表示“直到```才”,在肯定句中主句常用延续性动词;在否定句中主句常用短暂性动词。
肯定句:I waited until midnight.
否定句:I did not leave until midnight.
注意点:
1)not until…在句首,主句用倒装
eg: Not until you had explained how did I manage to do it.
2) It is not until…that…引导的强调句
It was not until it was dark that he came back.
3. the minute, the moment, each time都可表示“一```就```”
eg: The worker recognized the type of the machine the moment he saw it.
注意点:
the minute, the moment, each ( every, next, the first) time作连词不和when 连用。
4.Hardly/scarcely…when, no sooner…than, as soon as表示为“一```就```”
eg: I had hardly/scarcely got home when it began to rain.
I had no sooner got home than it began to rain.
It began to rain as soon as I got home.
注意点:Hardly/scarcely…when, no sooner…than位于句首,主句用倒装
eg: Had I hardly/scarcely got home when it began to rain.
No sooner had I got home than it began to rain.
2. 地点状语从句
常用引导词:where
特殊引导词:wherever, anywhere, everywhere

7. 让步状语从句

10. 状语从句的简化
状语从句的省略
状语从句同时具备下列两个条件:①主句和从句的主语一
致,或从句主语为it;②从句主要动词是be的某种形式。从句中的主语和be动词常可省略。例如:
When ( the museum is ) completed , the museum will be open to the public next year .
He’ll go to the seaside for his holiday if (it is ) possible.
另外,比较状语从句经常省略。例如:
I’m taller than he (is tall ).
The higher the temperature (is), the greater the pressure (is ).
就状语从句而言,有时为了使语言言简意赅,常常将状语从句进行"简化"。状语从句的"简化"现象在口语中较为普遍,而且在高考中的复现率也较高。因此,有必要对其进行全面、透彻的了解。
状语从句的"简化"现象常存在于以下五种状语从句中:①由if, unless等引导的条件状语从句;②由although, though, even if / though等引导的让步状语从句;③由when, while, as, before, after, until / till等引导的时间状语从句;④由as, as if等引导的方式状语从句;⑤由as, than等引导的比较状语从句。下面针对这五种情形作一归纳。
(1)当状语从句的主语是it,且谓语动词是be时,it和be要完全简化掉。例如:
If (it is) possible, he will help you out of the difficulty.如果可能的话,他会帮你摆脱困境。
You must attend the meeting unless (it is) inconvenient to you.除非情况对你来说不方便,否则你必须出席这次会议。
(2)当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致时,从句可以将主语和be动词简化掉。常用于以下几种情形:
a.连词+形容词
As (he was) young, he learned how to ride a bike.他小时候就学会了骑自行车。
Whenever (she is) free, she often goes shopping.她有空就去逛商店。
Work hard when (you are) young, or you'll regret.少壮不努力,老大徒伤悲。
b.连词+名词
While (he was) a young boy, he was always ready to help others.他在孩提时代就乐于助人。
Although (he was) a farmer, now he is a famous director.尽管他曾是个农民,而现在是位著名的导演了。
c.连词+现在分词
As (she was) walking along the river bank, she was singing a pop song.她沿着河堤边走边唱着流行歌曲。
Although (he is) doing his best in maths these days, he has still got no good marks.尽管近来他一直在学数学,但他仍然没有取得好成绩。
d.连词+过去分词
He won't go there with us unless (he is) invited.除非受到邀请,否则他不会和我们一道去那里。
The concert was a great success than (it was) expected.这场音乐会出乎意料地取得了巨大成功。
e.连词+不定式
He stood up as if (he were) to say something.当时他站起来好像要说什么。He wouldn't solve the problem even if (he were) to take charge.即使他来负责,他也解决不了这个问题。f. 连词+介词短语
She looked anxious as though (she was) in trouble.她看上去很焦急,好像遇到了麻烦。
He had mastered the English language before (he was) in the USA.他到美国之前就懂英语了。
注意:当从句主语和主句主语不一致时,从句部分要么用完全形式,要么用独立主格结构来表达。例如:
When the meeting was over, all the people went out of the meeting-room.当会议结束时,人们都走出了会议室。(=The meeting over,
