主语从句讲解及练习主语从句一、概述:在句子中起名词作用的各种从句统称为名词性从句。
根据它们在句中的语法作用,这类从句又可分为主语从句、同位语从句、表语从句和宾语从句。
二.主语从句主要有三类:(1)由连词that引导的主语从句:引导词that无含义,在句中不做成分,不可以省。
例如:That you will win the medal seems unlikely.你想获得奖牌看起来是不可能的。
That you are so indifferent bothers me.你如此冷淡使我很烦恼。
That she survived the accident is a miracle.她在事故中幸免于难简直是奇迹。
(2)用连词whether 引导的主语从句:whether有含义(是否),在句中不做成分,不可以省。
例如:Whether she is coming or not doesn’t matter too much.她来不来都无关紧要。
(3)用连接代词引导的主语从句(在由连接代词who, whose, whom, which, what, whoever, whomever, whichever, whatever引导的名词性从句中,其连接代词在句中起名词性作用,担当一定成分).例如:What you need is more practice.你所需要的是更多的训练。
What I want to know is this. 我想知道的就是这事。
Whatever we do is to serve the people.我们无论做什么都是为人民服务。
(4)连接副词when, where, why, how引导的名词性从句(其连接副词有含义,在句中作状语。
)eg:Where we should leave it is a problem.When they will come hasn’t been made pubic.他们什么时候来还不知道。
三.注意点:1.it 做形式主语,而将主语从句放在句末(尤其是当谓语较短时)。
例如:That light travels in straight lines is known to all.光沿直线传播,这是众所周知的事。
=It is known to all that light travels in straight lines.众所周知光沿直线传播。
When the plane is to take off has not been announced .飞机何时起飞还没有宣布。
= It has not been announced when the plane is to take off.还没有宣布飞机何时起飞。
(当what引导的主语从句表示“…的东西”时,一般不用it作形式主语。
)错:It is a book what he wants.对:What he wants is a book. 他想要的是本书。
例如:Has it been settled who will be sent to carry out the task ?谁将被派去执行这项任务决定了吗?固定用法和译法(1)It is +名词+从句It is a fact that… 事实是……It is good news that … ……是好消息It is a question that … ……是个问题It is common knowledge that … ……是常识类似的名词还有:a pity;a wonder;a good thing;no wonder;surprise等。
