2. what与that在引导名词性从句时的区别: what引导名词性从句时在从句中充当句子成分,如主语,宾语,表语,而that则不然,它在句子中只起连接作用。例如：
(1) What you said yesterday is right.
(2) That she is still alive is a puzzle. 3. 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) 由that 引导的宾语从句(that通常可以省略), 例如：
I heard that he 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.4. 否定的转移:若主语谓语动词为think, consider, suppose, believe, expect, 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。
I don’t think this dress fits you well. (我认为这件衣服不适合你穿。)5. it常可以放在动词think, find, consider, believe, feel, make等后作为形式宾语: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。 We heard it that she would get married next month.6. 表语从句是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+系动词+表语从句”。可以接表语从句的系动词有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 why … 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.
