表语从句的概念
表语从句放在系动词(也称连系动词)之后,充当复合句中的表语,说明主语是什么或者怎么样。一般结构为“主语+系动词+表语从句”。可接表语从句的系动词有be, look, remain, seem等。
concept
类别 引导词 用法
从属连词 that 只起连接作用,不作句子成分, 无实际意义
whether 只起连接作用, 不作句子成分,意为“是否”,不能用if替换
连接代词 who, what, whom, whose, which等 在从句中作主语、宾语、表语等
表语从句的引导词
类别 引导词 用法
连接副词 when, where, why, how等 在从句中作状语
其他连词 because 主句主语一般不用
reason
as if/ as though 表语从句表示的情况发生的可能性较小时,常用虚拟语气
表语从句的引导词
Importance and difficulties
表语从句中引导词的选择
1.由连接词that, whether引导的表语从句
从属连词that的用法:①无意义;②不充当成分。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, trouble, problem, result, chance, suggestion, idea, reason 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 reason for his absence is that he hasn’t been informed.
他缺席的原因是他没被通知。
The point is whether we should lend him the money.
关键在于我们是否应该借钱给他。
2.由连接代词引导的表语从句
在连接代词who, what, which, whom, whose等引导的表语从句中,连接代词在句中作主语、宾语、表语等,并且不能省略。
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。
表语从句中引导词的选择
3.由连接副词引导的表语从句
在连接副词 when, where, why, how 等引导的表语从句中,连接副词在从句中作状语。
Go and get your coat. It’s where you left it.
去把你的衣服拿来。就在你原来放的地方。
I had neither a raincoat nor an umbrella. That’s why I got wet through.
我既没雨衣也没伞。那就是我湿透的原因。
That is how mice ruin large scores of grain every year.
那就是老鼠每年是怎样损害大量粮食的。
表语从句中引导词的选择
4.由连词because, as if/as though等引导的表语从句

看起来好像要下雪了。
That’s because we never thought of it.
