5、语从句的关联词：（一）引导表语从句的关联词：that1.主语常常是事实陈述性名词，表语从句常用that引导。常见表达：The fact/news/idea/reason/problem/difference/advantage/possibility/.is that.例：My idea is that we should start making preparations right now.我的意见是我们马上就开始做准备工作。The reason why Im late is that I missed the bus.我迟到的原因是没赶上公共汽车。2.主语是what引导的主语从句时，表语
6、从句常用that引导。常见表达：What.should keep in mind/Whats the most important/.is that.（一）引导表语从句的关联词：（一）引导表语从句的关联词：that It turned out that they were old acquaintances.他们原来是老相识。3.主语是it，但是它只是一个功能性的词，没有实际意义。常见表达：It seems/appears/proved/turned out that.例：注意：注意：当主语是表示建议、要求、命令、请求的名词时，表语从句常常由that引导，并且从句中要用虚拟语气（should+
7、动词原形）。例：My suggestion is that we(should)set off early tomorrow.That,why,because都可引导表语从句。表示原因的名词（reason,cause）作句子主语时，后面的表语从句常用that引导，不可用because。例：The reason why he was late was that he missed the first train this morning.引导表语从句的that通常不省略，但在口语或非正式文体中有时也可省略。例：My idea is(that)we should do it right away.
8、（一）引导表语从句的连接代词（一）引导表语从句的连接代词连接代词who,what,which,whom,whose,whatever,whoever,whomever,whichever等引导表语从句，在句中作主语、宾语、表语，连接代词不能省略。例：The problem is who we can get to replace her.问题是我们能找到谁去替换她。注意：注意：what既有引导表语从句的作用，同时又在句中作句子成分（主语、宾语、表语等）。这时what相当于all that/everything that，常译成“所的（东西、事情、话等）”；而that只起连接作用，本身无实际意义
9、，在句中也不担当任何句子成分，但不能省略。（一）引导表语从句的关联词：（一）引导表语从句的关联词：whether主语是表示问题、疑问、顾虑等意义的名词，表语从句常用whether引导。常见表达：The(My/Our/.)question/problem/doubt/worry is whether.例：The question is whether the film is worth seeing.问题是这部电影值不值得看。（一）引导表语从句的关联词：（一）引导表语从句的关联词：becausebecause引导的表语从句说明的是原因，why引导的表语从句说明的是结果。because可引导表语从
10、句，但与其同义的since,as，for等不用于引导表语从句。I was late for school this morning.Thats because I stayed up too late last night.as if(as though)引导表语从句，表语从句表示的情况发生的可能性很小时，常用虚拟语气。若表示与现在事实相反，谓语动词用一般过去时；若表示与过去事实相反，用过去完成时；表示将来的可能性不大，用would(might,could)+动词原形;从句若表示的内容为事实或可能为事实，就用陈述语气。They treat me as though I were a stran
11、ger.他们待我如陌生人。This meat tastes as if it has already gone bad.这肉尝起来似乎已经坏了。Things are not always as they seem to be.事物并不总是如其表象。（一）引导表语从句的（一）引导表语从句的as if,as though,as（二）表语从句的语序与时态（二）表语从句的语序与时态 The question is when he can arrive at the hotel.问题是他何时能到达宾馆。表语从句一定要用陈述语序。例：The question is who will travel with
12、 me to Beijing tomorrow.问题是谁明天和我一起去北京旅行。The question is why he cried yesterday.问题是昨天他为什么哭。不像宾语从句，在有表语从句的复合句中，主句时态和从句时态可以不一致。例：1.Ive got a cold;thats _ I wouldnt like to go out.2.Fame and personal gain is _ theyre after.3.The reason why Tom failed in the exam was _ he didnt work hard.4.What made the
