什么叫名词性从句？
• 在句子中起名词作用的句子叫名词从句 (Noun Clauses）
• 名词从句的功能相当于名词词组, 它在 复合句中能担任主语、宾语、表语、同 位语等
• 因此根据它在句中不同的语法功能，名 词从句又可分别称为主语从句、宾语从 句、表语从句和同位语从句
What are noun clauses? His story is interesting. What he said is interesting. I heard his story. I heard what he said. I listen to his story. I listen to what he said. This is his story. This is what he said. The idea of going there is good. The idea that we go there is good.
whether与if的辨用
• 表“是否”时，在下列情况下用whether。
• a. 主语从句 b. 表语从句 c. 同位语从句 d. 介词后的宾语从句 e.后接动词不定式 (whether to do sth.) f .whether or not 连在一起引导宾语从 句时不用if

❖I’m sorry (that) I don’t know . ❖We’re sure (that) our team will win . ❖I’m afraid (that) he won’t pass the exam .
2. 当宾语从句是一般疑问句时，由连词whether 或if引导（口语中常用if），因为if/whether翻 译成：“是否”，具有一定的意义，所以不 能省略
me? →
Could you tell me when he bought this new bike?
6.My question is this: where will the lecture be given? → My question is where the lecture will be given.
if / whether
1. I asked her _i_f_/_w__h_e_th_e_r she had a bike.
3. We’re worried about ________ he is
safe.
whether
4. I don’t know ___________ he is well
❖Do you know what he said just now ? ❖ I don’t remember when we arrived . ❖ I asked him where I could get so much money . ❖ Please tell me who (whom) we have to see . ❖ Do you know what time the plane leaves ?
句子结构： 主句 +连词（引导词）+ 宾语从句
一、连词（引导词） 1. 当宾语从句是陈述句时（包括肯定句和
否定句），连词由that引导，因为that在从 句中不作任何成分，也没有任何具体意思， 因此在口语或非正式文体中常省略
❖She says (that) she won’t take part in the sports meeting next Sunday. ❖Jim thought (that) the train was like a big moving party.
Point out the function of each noun in the following sentences:
subject
object
1.The world loves nature.
subject
predicative
2.Knowledge is power .
subject apposition
or not.
whether /if
5. I don’t know ________ or not he is
well.
whether
8. I don’t know _______ to go.
whether
3. 当宾语从句是特殊疑问句时，由连接代 词（what, who, whom, which, whose）或连 接副词（when, where, how, why）引导， 因为连接代词或连接副词在从句中担任一 定的句子成分，具有一hey are good doctors. He told us. → He told us that they were good doctors.
• 2. He hadn’t said anything at the meeting. The fact surprised us.→ The fact that he hadn’t said anything at the meeting surprised us.
总结：当从句原来是陈述句时，变 成名词性从句用that引导。
3.Does your sister get up early? Do you know? →
Do you know if/ whether your sister gets up early?
4.Do animals have the same senses as humans? I often wonder. →
{I don’t like his job.
宾语 I don’t like what he does every day.
{I don’t know about the man, Mr. White.
同位语 I don’t know about the fact that he is Mr.White.
连词: that / whether / as if(though);
连接代词: what / who/ which / whose / whatever / whoever / whomever / whichever，
连接副词: where / when / why / how / wherever / whenever。
• 2.宾语从句中的连接词that在以下三种情况 下不能省略：
• （1）当that 从句与另一名词性从句并列作 宾语时，第二个that不能省；
• （2）当that作介词宾语时，that不可省掉。 • （3）用it做形式宾语的宾语从句
• Everyone knew what happened and that she was worried.
I often wonder if/ whether animals have the same senses as humans.
总结：当从句原来是一般疑问句时， 变成名词性从句用if或whether引导。

bus to run that far.
