表語從句
1.定義:用作表語的從句叫做表語從句。
2.構(gòu)成:關(guān)聯(lián)詞+簡單句
3.引導表語從句的關(guān)聯(lián)詞的種類:
(1)從屬連詞that.如:
The trouble is that I have lost his address.麻煩是我把他的地址丟了。
(2)從屬連詞whether,as,as if.如:
He looked just as he had looked ten years before.他看起來還與十年前一樣。
The question is whether they will be able to help us.問題是他們是否能幫我們。
注:從屬連詞if一般不用來引導表語從句,但as if卻可引導表語從句,如:
All this was over twenty years ago,but it’s as if it was only yesterday.
這都是20多年前的事了,但宛如昨天一樣。
能跟表語從句的謂語動詞一般為系動詞be,seem,look等。如:
It looked as if it was going to rain.看起來天要下雨了。
(3)連接代詞who,whom,whose,what,which,whoever,whatever,whichever
連接副詞 where,when,how,why.
如:The problem is who we can get to replace her.問題是我們能找到誰去替換她呢。
The question is how he did it.問題是他是如何做此事的。
That was what she did this morning on reaching the attic.那就是她今晨上了閣樓干的。
解釋:
1.連詞because可引導表語從句。如:
I think it is because you are doing too much.我想這是因為你做得太多。
2.在一些表示“建議、勸說、命令”的名詞后面的表語從句中,謂語動詞用虛擬語氣。should+動詞原形表示,should可省略。如:
My suggestion is that we (should)start early tomorrow.我的建議是我們明天一早就出發(fā)。
