主语从句
that从句位于句首时, that不能省略。
That theory must go hand in hand with practice is a principle we should always keep in mind.
有时可用形式主语it代替主语从句, 将it放在句首, 主语从句放在句末, 以避免句子头重脚轻。
It is not known yet where she has gone.
宾语从句
当宾语从句后有宾语补足语时, 需要用it作形式宾语, 而将宾语从句后置。
I made it clear that we were determined to carry out the plan.
当主句主语是第一人称，且谓语为think, believe, suppose, expect等动词时, 如果宾语从句表示否定意思, 通常否定前移, 即否定主句的谓语。
I don’t think there’s a computer store in the town.
I don’t believe that she’s ever been to Hong Kong.
宾语从句也可用作介词或形容词的宾语。
She was never satisfied with what she had achieved.
宾语从句
引导宾语从句的连词that在口语中可省略, 但在下列情况中，that需保留。
主、从句之间有表示时间等的状语时that不能省略, 否则会产生歧义。
The geography teacher told us yesterday that the nearest neighbour of the earth is the moon.
主、从句之间有插入语时不可省去that。
—It’s thirty years since we last met.
—But I still remember, believe it or not, that we got lost on a rainy night.
引导两个或两个以上的宾语从句时, 第二个以及第二个以后的宾语从句中的连词that不能省略。
From what is written here I can see you had a very bad cold three years ago and that you also had a small operation last year.
表语从句
当主语是reason且后面的表语从句表示原因时通常用that引导; 而当it, this或that作主语, 后面的表语从句常用because或why引导。
My reason is that the cost will be too high.
I had to catch the first train. That / This / It was why I left so early.
表语从句还可由as if/as though引导。as if/as though引导表语从句时, 主句中的动词可用be, seem, appear, look, taste, sound, feel等。
She looks as if / as though she had seen a ghost.
This meat tastes as if / as though it has already gone bad.
同位语从句
同位语从句通常由that引导, 但whether, who, where等有时也可引导同位语从句。
Tears filled her eyes at the thought that she might never see him.
I have no idea whether I should buy a car or not.
可接同位语从句的通常是一些表示抽象意义的名词, 常见的有news, idea, fact, belief, message, conclusion, decision, doubt, hope, chance, thought等。
The fact that the agreement was signed was important.
同位语从句有时不直接跟在它所解释说明的名词后面, 而是被其它成分隔开。
The question came up at the meeting whether we had enough money for our research.
引导名词性从句的连接词辨析
what与that
what引导名词性从句时不仅起连接作用，而在从句中充当主语、宾语、表语、定语等。
What makes the school proud is that more than 90% of its students have been admitted to key universities.
He has fully lived up to what he promised.
I want to know what the difficulty is now.
Jack collected what information he could find.
that引导名词性从句时只起连接作用, 在从句中不作任何成分。
whether与if
whether引导的主语从句可位于句首或句尾, 而if不能引导位于句首的主语从句。
Whether it rains or not doesn’t concern me.
It’s still uncertain if / whether he’s coming or not.
whether可引导表语从句和同位语从句, if 则不能。
The question is whether it is worth doing.
We ought to discuss the question whether we should do it.
whether可引导介词后的宾语从句, if则不能。
He was worried about whether he passed the English examination.
whether后可直接跟or not, if 则不能。
I really don’t care whether or not he will stay.
whoever与whomever
在正式语体中, whomever是whoever的宾格形式; 在非正式语体中, 人们用whoever来代替whomever。
Whomever you invite will be welcome.
Give it to whoever / whomever you like.
whatever与whichever
与whatever相比，whichever常有明确的选择范围。
It is generally considered unwise to give a child whatever he or she wants.
All the books are here. You may borrow whichever you like.

Talk about what caused the disappearance of dinosaurs using noun clauses where appropriate. You may use the notes to help you.
Among the many unsolved mysteries about dinosaurs, what really interests me is their disappearance. One possible explanation is that …
The Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event, or the K-T extinction event, is the name given to the die-off of the dinosaurs and other species that took place some 65.5 million years ago.
For many years, paleontologists believed this event was caused by climate and geological changes that interrupted the dinosaurs’ food supply. However, in the 1980s, father-and-son scientists Luis and Walter Alvarez discovered in the geological record a distinct layer of iridium — an element found in abundance only in space — that corresponds to the precise time the dinosaurs died.
This suggests that a comet, asteroid or meteor impact event may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. In the 1990s, scientists located the massive Chicxulub Crater at the tip of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, which dates to the period in question.
Do research into another extinct creature. Share your ideas about why it disappeared using noun clauses where appropriate.

Everyone knows that birds
descended from dinosaurs —
and, like dinosaurs, birds have
been subject to the kinds of
ecological pressures (loss of
habitat, climate change, human
predation) that can render a species extinct. In its heyday, the Passenger Pigeon was the most populous bird in the world.
Its vast flocks had billions of birds and literally darkened the skies over North America during their annual migrations. Hunted and harassed by the millions — and shipped in
railroad cars, by the ton, to the starving cities
of the eastern seaboard — the Passenger Pigeon
dwindled before vanishing by the late 19th
century. The last known Passenger Pigeon,
who was named Martha, died in
captivity at the Cincinnati Zoo in 1914.
