三、陈述句可分别充当四种句子成分(名词从句的重点内容),要在陈述句首加上他that
对于陈述句,我们要在句首加上that,然后把“that+陈述句”分别放在另一个句子的四种位置即构成四种名词从句。
1.主语从句。“that+陈述句”在主语位置即成主语从句:
Stuart is ugly.
That Stuart is ugly is a fact..
That Malaysians don’t speak good English is obvious.
更常见的是用it式主语置于句首,而将主语从句放在句末。例如:
It is a fact that Stuart is ugly.
It is obvious that Malaysians don’t speak good English。
因此下面都是常见的主语从句句型:(¥)
① It is +过去分词 +that 从句(found, believed, reported, thought, noted…)
② It is +形容词 +that 从句(clear, possible, likely, natural, certain, fortunate, necessary, strange…)
③ It is +名词(短语) +that 从句(a pity, a shame, an honor, a good idea, a miracle…)
2. 宾语从句。“that+陈述句”在宾语位置即成宾语从句:
I think (that) you turned off the light.
We know (that) women love shopping.
She believed (that) her child was premature.
只有宾语从句中的that才可以省去,其他名从that不省。
3.表语从句。“that+陈述句”在表语位置即成表语从句:
My idea is that the students should be more open to each other.
The reason is that he was careless and irresponsible.(考点)
4.同位语从句。“that+陈述句”在同位语位置即成同位语从句:
所谓同位语,就是用来补充说明名词的成分。
The rumor that Tom washed his socks once a month turned out to be untrue.
Our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
A saying goes that tomorrow is another day.
