(一)主語從句
用作主語的從句,叫主語從句#65377;主語從句可以直接放在句首;也可用it作形式主語,而將從句放在句末#65377;
常見的用it作形式主語的復合結構:
It is + 名詞 + that從句;It is a fact(a pity,a shame,no wonder,good news...)that...
It is + 形容詞 + that從句;It is necessary(strange,important,wonderful,possible,likely,...)that... 這類句中謂語動詞多為(should) + 動詞原形#65377;
It is + 過去分詞 + that 從句;It is said(reported,decided,believed,...)that...
It + 不及物動詞 + that 從句;It seems(happened,doesn’t matter,has turned out,...)that...
What you need is more practice. 你需要的是更多的練習#65377;(what在從句中作need的賓語)
What is hard is to do good all one’s life and never do anything bad. 難的是人的一生都做好事#65380;從不做壞事#65377;(what在從句中作主語)

Whoever comes will be welcome. 不管誰來都受歡迎#65377;(whoever在名詞性從句中相當于anyone who)
Whatever she did was right. 不管她做什么都是正確的#65377;(whatever在名詞性從句中相當于anything that)

(二)表語從句
用作表語的從句叫表語從句#65377;它位于連系動詞(如be,seem,remain 等后)#65377;
The question is whether we should accept their invitation. 問題是我們是否應當接受他們的邀請#65377;
The city is no longer what it used to be. 這個城市不再是曾經的樣子#65377;

The reason for his absence was that he was ill.(此處不能用because代替that . 句型:The reason... is that...)他缺席的原因是他生病了#65377;
as if 引導的表語從句有時可用虛擬語氣,表示可能性小#65377;
He acted as if he hadn’t eaten for a long time.
表示建議#65380;命令#65380;要求一類的表語從句要用虛擬語氣:
My suggestion is that you should practise reading English every day.
(三)賓語從句
作賓語的從句叫賓語從句#65377;
作動詞的賓語:
He doesn’t know where the post office is. 他不知道郵局在哪里#65377;
在動詞suggest,order,demand,require等表示建議#65380;命令#65380;要求的賓語從句要用虛擬語氣(賓語從句的謂語用should + 動詞原形,should 可省略#65377;)
I suggested that you(should)start right now. 我建議你馬上開始#65377;
如果賓語從句后有賓語補足語,要用形式賓語it,而將從句放到補足語后面#65377;
I thought it strange that he didn’t pass the exam. 我覺得他沒通過考試很奇怪#65377;
在think,believe,suppose,expect等動詞后的賓語從句中,如果從句謂語是否定含義,則不用否定形式,而將主句謂語動詞think等變為否定形式#65377;
I don’t think you are right. 我想你是不對的#65377;
He doesn’t know where the post office is. 他不知道郵局在哪里#65377;
在think,believe,imagine,suppose,guess,hope等動詞以及I’m afraid等后,可用so代替一個肯定的賓語從句,還可用not代替一個否定的賓語從句:
Do you believe it will clear up?你認為天會放晴嗎?
I believe so.(I don’t believe so. /I believe not.)我認為會#65377;(我認為不會#65377;)
(2)作介詞的賓語:
Did she say anything about how we should do the work?他有沒有說我們應當怎樣做這個工作?
That引導的賓語從句只有在except,in,but,besides等少數介詞后偶爾可能用到#65377;
Your article is good except that it is too long. 除了太長外,你的論文很好#65377;
有時在介詞和其賓語從句的中間加形式賓語it#65377;
I’ll see to it that everything is ready. 我將負責把一切準備好#65377;
(3)作形容詞的賓語:
I’m afraid that I have made a mistake.
if和whether引導賓語從句的區別,即用whether不用if的情況有:
作介詞賓語,用于whether + to do#65380;whether or not和用作discuss的賓語等#65377;
It depends on whether it is fine. 要看天氣是否晴朗#65377;

(四)同位語從句
同位語從句跟在一個名詞后(如fact,idea,news,hope,belief,thought,doubt,proof,belief等),對其作進一步解釋#65377;
I have no idea that you were here. 我不知道你在這里#65377;
He can’t answer the question how he got the money. 他不能回答他是如何拿到那筆錢的#65377;
同位語從句和定語從句的區別:
從意義上講,前者對名詞加以解釋說明,后者對名詞進行修飾限定#65377;從結構上講,前者由連接詞引導,后者由關系詞引導#65377;從內涵上講,前者所說明的名詞與從句沒有邏輯關系,that不可省略#65377;后者所限定的名詞是從句邏輯上的主語#65380;賓語#65380;表語#65380;定語#65380;狀語等#65377;當被限定的名詞是從句邏輯上的賓語時,that 可省略#65377;
