Grammar: 主语从句
一、概念
在主从复合句中,充当主语的从句叫主语从句,它是名词性从句之一。名词性从句分为:主语从句,宾语从句,表语从句和同位语从句。
二、连接词
引导主语从句的连接词有:
① 从属连词:在从句中不作成分 (that; whether/if)
② 连接代词:在从句中作主语、宾语、表语或定语
(who,whom, whose, what, which, whoever, whatever, whichever等)
③ 连接副词:在从句中作状语 (when, where, why, how)
(1) 从属连词:that, whether/ if
① that在从句中不充当句子成分,也无意义,只起连接作用,但不可省略。
That smoking is harmful to health is known to everyone.
吸烟有害健康,这是大家都知道的。
That you don’t like him is none of my business.
你不喜欢他不关我的事。
That the college will take in more new students this year is true.
今年这所大学将招收更多新生是真的。
(1) 从属连词:that, whether/ if
② whether/if在从句中不充当句子成分,只起连接作用,意为“是否”。whether引导的主语从句既可放在句首,也可放在句末。而if引导的主语从句不能放在句首,只能放在句末。
Whether life exists on other planets is not clear yet.
It is still doubtful whether/ if she will react quickly to our suggestion.
(2) 连接代词:
连接代词包括 who, whom, whose, what, which, whoever,whatever, whichever等
连接代词引导主语从句时,在句中既起连接作用,又在从句中充当主语、宾语、表语或定语。
Who will demonstrate new educational software hasn’t been decided yet.
Whoever solves the puzzle can receive the award.
(3) 连接副词:when, where, why, how
when, where, why, how在从句中作状语,分别表示时间、地点、原因和方式。
When we will set off hasn’t been decided.
我们将何时出发还没有决定。
Why he used that gesture puzzled me for a long time.
他为什么使用那个手势困扰了我很长时间。
三、用it作形式主语,主语从句后置的句型
当主语从句太长,为了避免头重脚轻,常用it作形式主语,而把主语从句后置。
用it作形式主语的常见句型有:
(1) It+ be+形容词+ that从句。
该句型常见形容词有clear, obvious, true, natural,possible, likely, certain, fortunate, strange, necessary,important等。
【例句】It is clear that charges vary according to size.
三、 用it作形式主语,主语从句后置的句型
(2) It+ be+名词(词组)+ that从句。
该句型常见的名词(词组)有a pity, a shame, good news,a fact, an honour,a wonder, no wonder等。
It is a pity that your parents didn’t permit you to go with us.
It is no wonder that you’ve achieved such great success.
三、 用it作形式主语,主语从句后置的句型
(3) It+ be+过去分词+ that从句。
该句型常见的过去分词有said, believed, reported,thought, expected, decided, announced, suggested, hoped等。
It is reported that a violent earthquake happened in Wenchuan, China.
It is believed that boys were better at science than girls.
【误区警示】
当过去分词是suggested, ordered, required, advised, requested,insisted等表示建议、要求、命令等的词时,主语从句应使用虚拟语气,即谓语动词用“(should+)动词原形”。
It is suggested that the work (should) be done with great care.
有人建议,这项工作应该特别谨慎地去做。
It is suggested that you (should) spend more time learning English. 建议你花更多的时间学习英语。
三、 用it作形式主语,主语从句后置的句型
(4) It+不及物动词(短语)+ that从句。
该句型常见的不及物动词(短语)有seem(看上去),turn out(证明是), happen(碰巧), appear(显得)等。
It turned out that we were wrong. 结果是我们错了。
It happened that he was out that day. 碰巧他那天不在家。
三、 用it作形式主语,主语从句后置的句型
(5)其他句型
It doesn’t matter whether he likes it or not.
It makes no difference whether you approve of my plan or not.
It suddenly occurred to me that I had left my purse at home.
四、使用主语从句的注意事项
(1)主语从句应用陈述语序
Whether he will help us tackle the problem is doubtful.
四、使用主语从句的注意事项
(2)主谓一致问题
①单个从句作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数。但what引导的从句作主语,且what在主语从句中作宾语时,谓语动词的数应与主句作表语的名词一致。
When we shall have our sports meeting has not been decided.
What the children in the area starve for are books.
四、使用主语从句的注意事项
(2)主谓一致问题
②用and连接两个或两个以上的主语从句作主语时,谓语动词用复数;由两个或两个以上连接词引导一个主语从句时,谓语动词用单数。
When they will set off and where they will go have not been decided yet.
When and where the meeting will be held has not been decided yet.
四、使用主语从句的注意事项
(3) whether引导的主语从句,如果用了形式主语it,引导词whether可以换成if。如果whether引导的从句在句首或后面直接跟or not,则不能换成if
It has not been decided yet whether/ if he will cut down his novel. = Whether he will cut down his novel has not been decided yet. [不用if]
I don’t know whether or not my son can earn his living. [不用if]
