1. 表语从句的定义
1)表语的定义:
表语用来描述主语是什么,包括主语的身份,特征和状态等。表语接在系动词后面。
2)表语从句的定义:
在复合句中作表语的从句叫做表语从句。表语从句位于主句的系动词之后,对主语进行解释、说明,使主语的内容具体化。
系动词的分类
1.感官类系动词(sound,look,taste,smell,feel)
2.变化类系动词(get,fall,grow,turn,go,become…)
be动词
3.状态系动词
保持类系动词(keep,remain,stay)
似乎类系动词( seem,appear)
证明类系动词(prove,turn out)
(am,is,are,was,were),意为“是”
常见的系动词
2. 表语从句的引导词
从属连词: that / whether (if不引导表语从句)
as if /as though
1)that 在从句中仅起连接作用,无实际意义,在句中不作任何成分,不能省略。
One theory was that bad air caused the disease.
(2)whether
whether 在句子中不充当任何成分,但具有“是否”的意义。
注意:if不能引导表语从句
The question remains whether they will be able to help us.
(3)as if/though
as if / though引导表语从句时,在句子中不充当任何成分,但有意义。译为:似乎,好像。(常置于系动词look, seem, sound, be, become 等后面)
He looks as if he were a rich man.
It sounds as if someone is knocking at the door.
注意:as if/as though引导的表语从句如果是事实,就用陈述语气,如果与事实不符,就用虚拟语气(主句一般现在时,从句就用一般过去时。主句是一般过去时,从句用过去完成时 )。
连接代词:
who/whom/whose/what/which 等引导表语从句,在从句中充当成分主语、宾语、表语、定语,且各具意义。
1. The problem is __________ could find out a cure for the disease.
2. What I have not decided is ________ I am going to visit.
3. Both my parents have given me some advice on how to save money. But the question is ________________ advice I should take.
who
where
whose/which
连接副词:
when/where/why/how引导表语从句,在从句中还充当地点、时间、原因、方式状语,本身具有词义。
What John Snow showed to the world was ______ cholera could be overcome.
The exact places Snow marked on the map were _______ all those who died had lived.
What Snow was determined to find out was ________ more than 500 people died in ten days.

3. 表语从句的注意事项
1)why和because引导的表语从句的区别
That’s why :那是...的原因(强调结果)
That’s because:那是因为(强调原因)
She often comes late. That’s she has a baby to take care of.
She has a baby to take care of. That’s she often comes late .
because
why
2)当主句的主语是reason,后面的表语从句表示原因时,用 that来引导表语从句,而不用 because。
The reason why he was so late is that it was raining hard.
3) 表语从句中的虚拟语气
在表示建议、劝告、命令含义的名词后的表语从句,谓语动词需用“should+动词原形” 表示,should可省略。常见的词有:
My suggestion is that the handle of the water pump (should) be removed.
一 “坚持” insist
二 “命令” order/ command
三 “建议” suggest/ advise/ recommend
四 “要求” request/ require/demand/ ask
that
how
whether
why
what
