名词性从句
引导词
1.

3.
类型
一、主语从句
1.主语从句在复合句中充当主语,其位置与陈述句基本结构中的主语相同,通常放在主句谓语动词之前。当从句过长,显得头重脚轻时,则由形式主语it代替,而本身放在句子末尾。
That we shall be late is certain.
Whether it will do us harm remains to be seen.
What’s done is done.
Whichever you want is yours.
How this happened is not clear to anyone.
When we arrive doesn’t matter.
◆ whether(or not)可以引导所有的名词性从句,而if只能引导宾语从句且后后面不加or not。
◆ that引导主语从句位于句首时,虽不充当成分,但不可省略.如果it作形式主语,而that从句置于句末, 这时that可以省略。
2.用it 作形式主语的的主语从句结构的四种常见用法。It作形式主语时,句子一般不能改写为真正主语放句首。
(1) It is + 名词 + 从句
It is a fact that…
It is an honor
that…
It is a universal truth
that…
It is a shame
that...
It is a great pity
that...
e.g. It is a must for realization of sustainable development that a society conserves traditional cultures. 要实现可持续发展,社会就必须保护传统文化。
(2) It is + 形容词 + 从句
It is essential
that…
It is desirable
that...
It is strange
that…
It is noticeable
that...
e.g. It is essential that a society should reject/abandon its traditions if it wants to make progress. 一个社会如果想要进步,抛弃传统很重要。
(3) It is + 不及物动词 + 从句
It seems that…
It appears that…
e.g. It seems that Kathy has had him entirely at her feet. Kathy好像完全使他拜倒在她的石榴裙下。
(4) It + 过去分词 + 从句
It is reported
that…
It is well known
that…
It is suggested
that…
It is generally held
that...
It has been proved
that...
e.g. Now it is widely acknowledged that the countries with different cultural systems can coexist peacefully. 现在人们广泛承认,不同文化系统的国家可以和平共处。
据报道,赌博会给我们带来大幅度增长的犯罪。
It’s suggested that we (should) comply with the regulation. 我们最好遵守规则。
主语从句不可位于句首的四种情况
◆ if引导的主语从句不可位于复合句句首。
It is doubtful if/ whether most present languages are truly on the brink of extinction.是否大多数现存的语言真的处于濒危状态这一点颇有疑问。
Whether they will succeed depends on how hard they try.
能否成功取决与他们的努力程度。(不可用if)
◆ It is said/reported/estimated...结构中的主语从句不可提前。
It is said that English is the dominant language in cyberspace.
据说英语是网络世界中最流行的语言。
◆ It happens..., It occurs...结构中的主语从句不能提前。
It occurs to parents and educators that TV has been a successful destroyer of children's healthy mental development.
父母和教育专家认为,电视“成功”阻碍了孩子心理的健康发展。
◆ It doesn't matter how/whether/if...结构中的主语从不可提前。
It doesn't matter if I
miss the train.
◆ 主语从句“ It is /was… that… ”VS 强调句型
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。
I suggest that we (should) go the next day.
Much evidence shows that abolishment of capital punishment/death penalty can prevent serious offences.
I wonder whether the practice can hold water(or not).
Experts predict that half of the world’s languages will be extinct in 100 year.
Historical linguists study how languages evolve over time.
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,此时that不可省略。
◆ 代替不定式短语
◆ 代替动名词短语
I consider it no use arguing with them.
He feels it great harm watching too much TV.
◆ 代替宾语从句
We consider it our obligation/duty that traditional values should be passed down to our next generations.
We think it a great cultural loss that aboriginal tribes give up their cultures, including their languages.
5. 否定的转移
注意点
◆ 从句前面有插入语时,引导词 that不能省略。
She may tell you,for example,that she is interested in Chinese.
◆ 如果有两个并列的宾语从句,第二个从句的引导词that也不能省略。
Mr. Read said(that)he taught English in a middle school in Beijing and that he came from Australia.
◆ 在省略答语中,that宾语从句单独出现时,that不可省略
——What did he say?
That he would visit the great wall.
◆ 时态问题:主句中的谓语动词对从句中的谓语动词有制约的作用。一般来说,主句中的谓语动词如果是一般现在时,那么宾语从句可根据需要,选用任何一种时态。
I don’t know when he left.
She said she had finished the work.
The teacher told us that light travels much faster than sound.
三、表语从句
表语从句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+连系动词+表语从句”。可以接表语从句的连系动词有be, look, remain, seem, appear等。引导表语从句的that常可省略。
The question is whether we can save endangered languages in such a short time.
But the fact remains that language extinction is a natural evolutional process.
This is why TV commercials are regarded as rubbish.
表语从句还可以由as if/as though, because, as引导。
It looks as if it is going to rain.
It may be because this task is really too tough.
四、同位语从句
定语从句
定语从句:修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。定语从句一般紧跟在它所修饰的先行词之后。关系词既起着联系主句与从句的作用,又代替先行词在从句中担任一定的语法成分,如主语、宾语、定语和状语等。
先行词:被定语从句修饰的词叫先行词。
关系词:引导定语从句的词叫关系词。
关系词通常有下列三个作用:A、引导定语从句;B、代替先行词;C、在定语从句中担当一个成分。
关系代词: that, which, who, whose, whom等;
关系副词: where, when, why等

◆ 在定语从句中,which和that在指代事物时,一般可以互换使用,但并非在任何情况下都是这样。以下九种情况一般只用that,不用which。

help them.

taken to the police.
6.被修饰词为数词时。
14) Yesterday he caught two fish and
put them in a basin of water. Now you can see the two that are
still alive.
7.如有两个从句,其中一个关系代词已用which,另一个关系代词则宜用that,以避免语言的单调或重复。
15) Mr. Brown built up a factory which
produced things that had never been seen before.
8.主句是There
be
结构,修饰其主语(物)的定语从句宜用that作关系代词。

room
9.
17) That’s a good thing that
will do you a lot of good.
18) Our school is no longer the place (that)it used to

books can be borrowed.
2) Is this the place in which Mr. White was born?
2.在非限制性定语从句中。
3) Jack's house, which was now very
old , was brought down in the storm.

bought from the shop which was newly open to people.

pass the time on the train and which I could pass on to others when
I finished them.
4.当关系代词后面带有插入语时。
7) Here is the English grammar book
which, as I have told you, will help improve your
English.
◆定语从句中修饰人时宜用who而不宜用that的情况
1.先行词为one, ones,
anyone
或those时。
1) The person I admire most is one who
studies hard and works well.
2) Anyone who comes to class late must give his reason.
3) God only helps those who help themselves.

“As”引导的定语从句
◆ as用作关系代词和关系副词引导限制性定语从句,可以充当主语,宾语和表语或者状语;在这种用法中它经常和such, so, the same等词搭配使用;且当先行词中有such, so, the same等词修饰时,关系代词通常必须用as。常搭配结构有(the...same as, such...as, so...as)
1) I have never seen such kind of girl as she is. (as作表语)
2) I have never heard such stories as he tells. (as作宾语)
3) Here are such questions as are often asked by the college students. (as作主语)
4) I came the same day as she left. (as作时间状语)
5) He didn’t believe such reason as she did so. (原因状语)
◆ as引导非限制性定语从句的时候,代替整个主句,对其进行说明。一般用于以下等结构:as we all know, as is known to us all, as it is, as is said above, as already mentioned above, as is usual, as is often the case, as is reported in the newspaper, as may be imagined, as often happens, as can be seen, as indeed it is……as在非限制性定语从句中可作主语、表语或者宾语,且引出的从句位置比较灵活,可位于句首或句末,也可以是句子中间,通常用逗号隔开。其意思为“正如……”,“就像……”。
1)He forgot to bring his pen with him, as/which was often the case. (as作主语)
2)As we all know, the moon travels around the earth.(as作宾语)
3)He is absorbed in/engaged in/engrossed in work, as/which he often was.(as作表语)
注意点
① which在引导非限制性定语从句时,也有和as一样的功能,可以代替整个句子,但which只能用在主句之后。
②在as所引导的非限制性定语从句中,如果运用的是被动语态结构,be动词可以省略;但which没有此用法,be动词不可省。
例如:She married him,which was unexpected.=She married him as(was) unexpected.她嫁给了她,这一点大家都没有料到。(作主语,代替前面的句子;用which时was不可省。)
◆ 同位语从句与定语从句的区别
(2) 定语从句是形容词性的,其功能是修饰先行词,对先行词加以限定,描述定的性质或特征;同位语从句是名词性的,其功能是对名词进行补充说明。例如:
1) The news that he told me is that Tom would go abroad next year.
(第一个that引导的从句是定语从句,that在从句中作宾语)
2) The news that Tom would go abroad is told by him.
(同位语从句,that在句中不作任何成分)
