一、主语从句
1.引导主语从句的连接词:从属连词that,whether/if连接代词what,who,whom,whose,whatever,whichever,whoever等;连接副词when,where,why,how,whenever等。
①That they were in truth sisters was clear from the facial similarity between them.从她们的面貌相似度就能清楚地看出她们真是亲姐妹。
②What struck me most in the movie was the father's deep love for his son.
影片中最打动我的是父亲对他儿子深深的爱。
2.主语从句一般放在句首,但有时也可用it作形式主语,而将主语从句移到句子的末尾。
常见的句型:
(1)It+be+形容词(necessary/likely/important/uncertain等)+that从句
(2)It+be+名词(短语)(a pity/shame/no wonder/no surprise等)+that从句
(3)It+be+过去分词(said/reported/decided/believed等)+that从句
(4)It+不及物动词(seem,appear,happen等)+that从句
①It is uncertain what side effect the medicine will bring about,although about two thousand patients have taken it.
尽管大约两千名患者已经服用了这种药,但是它会带来什么样的副作用还不清楚。
