表語從句

1、概述

用作表語的從句叫作表語從句，它位于主句中的連系動(dòng)詞之后。引導(dǎo)表語從句的詞有從屬連詞that、whether、as though(if)；關(guān)系代詞who, what, which, whom, whose, whatever, whoever, whomever, whichever等；關(guān)系副詞when, where, why, how, however, whenever, wherever等?？梢越颖碚Z從句的連系動(dòng)詞由be, look, remain, seem等。That引導(dǎo)表語從句時(shí)，在口語中，間或可以省略。

The trouble is that we are short of money.困難是我們資金短缺。

That is why stone walls are used instead of fences around New England fields.這就是為什么在新英格蘭用石頭墻而不用柵欄的原因。

At that time, it seemed as if I couldn't think of the right word anyhow.當(dāng)時(shí),我似乎怎么也想不出一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)淖盅蹃怼?/p>

2、由從屬連詞that，whether引導(dǎo)的表語從句。

that在引導(dǎo)表語從句時(shí)無詞義，而whether有詞義，意為、“是否”。這時(shí)主句的主語常常是些抽象名詞，如question(問題)，trouble(麻煩)，problem(問題)，result(結(jié)果)，chance(可能性)，suggestion(建議)，idea(想法)，reason(理由)等。表語從句對(duì)主句主語進(jìn)行說明、解釋，使主語的內(nèi)容具體化。

The trouble is(that)she has lost his money.麻煩的事是他丟了錢。

The question is whether we need more ice cream.問題是我們是否還需要一些冰淇淋。

The problem was that it was too valuable for everyday use.問題是它作為日常之用太貴重了。What she couldn’t understand was that fewer and fewer students showed interest in her lessons.我們不能理解越來越少的學(xué)生對(duì)他的課不感興趣。

3、由關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)的表語從句。

關(guān)系代詞who, what, which, whom, whose, whatever, whoever, whomever, whichever等引導(dǎo)表語從句，在句中作主語、賓語、表語，關(guān)系代詞不能省略。The question is which of us should go.問題是我們哪一個(gè)應(yīng)該去。The problem was who could do the work.問題是誰能做這項(xiàng)工作。That's what he is worrying about.那就是他在擔(dān)心的事。That's what we should do.那是我們應(yīng)該做的。

4、由關(guān)系副詞引導(dǎo)的表語從句。

Go and get your coat.It's where you left it.去把雨衣拿來。就在你原來放的地方。

I had neither a raincoat nor an umbrella.That’s why I got wet through.我們既沒傘也沒雨衣，這是我們淋濕的原因。

That is how mice ruin many stores of grain every year.那就是老鼠是怎樣每年損害大量糧食的。That is what he is worried about.那就是他所擔(dān)心的。

5、由連詞because，as if/as though等引導(dǎo)的表語從句。It looked as if it was going to snow.看起來好像要下雪了。

That's because we never thought of it.這是因?yàn)槲覀儚奈聪脒^此事。It seems as if he didn’t know the answer.好像他不知道答案。可以接表語從句的系動(dòng)詞有：

1：be（being,been,am,is,are,was,were)2: feel , seem , look, appear ,sound，taste , smell 3: stand , lie , remain ,keep, stay 4: become ,get , grow , turn ,go ,come, run，fall 5: prove, turn out 系動(dòng)詞的固定搭配: come true, fall asleep, fall ill, go bad, come right, run wild 連接詞：that / whether /as if /as

though(if不引導(dǎo)表語從句)連接代詞：who / whom / whose / which

/ what

連接副詞：when / where / why / how /

because

注：引導(dǎo)表語從句的連詞that間或可以省略。

The truth is（that）I didn't go there.事實(shí)是我沒去那兒。

A.when B.why C.whether D.that

［答案］ D

［解析］ 下劃線處之后是包含一個(gè)原因狀語從句的表語從句，如果看不出它是充當(dāng)整個(gè)句子結(jié)構(gòu)的表語從句將難以把握整個(gè)句子的意思。因此，應(yīng)選擇可引導(dǎo)名詞性從句且不充當(dāng)任何成分的that。

A.why B.where C.what D.how

［解析］ 第一個(gè)下劃線處的引導(dǎo)詞引導(dǎo)主語從句并在該主語從句中充當(dāng)賓語，特指她所不理解的事情，應(yīng)填入關(guān)系代詞型的引導(dǎo)詞what； 第二個(gè)下劃線處表示“因此……”(指因某種原因所造成的后果，由why引導(dǎo)對(duì)應(yīng)的名詞性從句)而不是“為什么……”(指原因、理由，由because引導(dǎo)對(duì)應(yīng)的名詞性從句)，應(yīng)填入引導(dǎo)詞why。

A.what makes me feel excited B.whatever I feel excited about

［答案］ A

［解析］ A選項(xiàng)的意思是“令我感覺激動(dòng)的事物”； B選項(xiàng)的意思是“我覺得激動(dòng)的任何事物”； C選項(xiàng)的意思是“我對(duì)它感覺的方式”； D選項(xiàng)的意思是“令我感覺激動(dòng)的時(shí)間”。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中A最適合跟代表“game”的主語that對(duì)應(yīng)，充當(dāng)表語從句。

表語從句與賓語從句的關(guān)系

不屬于的

賓語從句和表語從句都屬于名詞性從句。其作用跟名詞在句中的作用相同。故充當(dāng)賓語的句子叫賓語從句，充當(dāng)表語的句子叫表語從句。

賓語從句

(1)對(duì)于賓語從句要掌握以下三點(diǎn)

①語序: 從句的語序必須是陳述句語序, 即“主語 + 謂語”這種形式。

②時(shí)態(tài): 當(dāng)主句是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)或一般將來時(shí)的時(shí)候, 從句可以是任何時(shí)態(tài), 而當(dāng)主句是一般過去時(shí)的時(shí)候, 從句, 從句時(shí)態(tài)必須是過去時(shí)范圍的時(shí)態(tài), 即(一般過去時(shí), 過去進(jìn)行時(shí), 過去完成時(shí), 過去將來時(shí))。

③連接詞: 當(dāng)從句意思完整, 主句意思肯定時(shí), 連接詞用that, 且可以省去, 當(dāng)從句意思完整, 主句意思不確定或含否定含意時(shí), 常用if或whether(是否), 當(dāng)從句意思不完整時(shí), 連接詞則是代替不完整部分的特殊疑問詞。

表語從句

在句子中起表語作用的從句叫做表語從句，位于主句系動(dòng)詞的后面。表語從句的引導(dǎo)詞和主語從句的引導(dǎo)詞相同。也是名詞性從句的一種。

如： What the police want to know is when you enred red the room警察想知道的是你什么時(shí)候進(jìn)的房間。

The The trouble is that we are short of funds困難是我們?nèi)狈Y金。

This This is what we should do這是我們應(yīng)當(dāng)做的。

That”s s why I want you to work there那就是我要你在那兒工作的原因。

His His first question was whether Mr.Smith had arrived yet他的第一個(gè)問題是史密斯先生到了沒有。

注意：從句中的疑問句用正常語序，即陳述語序。

as as if, as though, becau也可用來引導(dǎo)表語從句。

She She seems as if she had done a great thing她看起來好像做了一件大事。

第五篇：表語從句講解及專項(xiàng)練習(xí)

表語從句講解及專項(xiàng)練習(xí)

概念： 表語從句是在復(fù)合句中作表語的名詞性從句。

放在系動(dòng)詞之后,一般結(jié)構(gòu)是“主語+系動(dòng)詞+表語從句”

可以接表語從句的連系動(dòng)詞有be, look, remain, seem等。

★ The trouble is that we are short of money.困難是我們資金短缺。

★ That is why stone walls are used instead of fences around New England fields.這就是為什么在新英格蘭用石頭墻而不用柵欄的原因。

★ At that time, it seemed as if I couldn't think of the right word anyhow.當(dāng)時(shí),我似乎怎么也想不出一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)淖盅蹃怼?/p>

引導(dǎo)表語從句的詞：

從屬連詞that、whether、as though、as if（That引導(dǎo)表語從句時(shí)，在口語中，間或可以省略。）

關(guān)系代詞who, what, which, whom, whose, whatever, whoever, whomever, whichever等；

關(guān)系副詞when, where, why, how, however, whenever, wherever等。

※ 由從屬連詞that，whether引導(dǎo)的表語從句。

that在引導(dǎo)表語從句時(shí)無詞義，而whether有詞義，意為、“是否”。這時(shí)主句的主語常常是些抽象名詞，如question(問題)，trouble(麻煩)，problem(問題)，result(結(jié)果)，chance(可能性)，suggestion(建議)，idea(想法)，reason(理由)等。表語從句對(duì)主句主語進(jìn)行說明、解釋，使主語的內(nèi)容具體化。

例如：

★ The trouble is(that)she has lost his money.麻煩的事是他丟了錢。

★

The question is whether we need more ice cream.問題是我們是否還需要一些冰淇淋。

★

The problem was that it was too valuable for everyday use.問題是它作為日常之用太貴重了。

★

What she couldn’t understand was that fewer and fewer students showed interest in her lessons.我們不能理解越來越少的學(xué)生對(duì)他的課不感興趣。

※ 由關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)的表語從句。

關(guān)系代詞who, what, which, whom, whose, whatever, whoever, whomever, whichever等引導(dǎo)表語從句，在句中作主語、賓語、表語，關(guān)系代詞不能省略。

例如：

★

The question is which of us should go.問題是我們哪一個(gè)應(yīng)該去。

★

The problem was who could do the work.問題是誰能做這項(xiàng)工作。

★

That's what he is worrying about.那就是他在擔(dān)心的事。

★

That's what we should do.那是我們應(yīng)該做的。

※由關(guān)系副詞引導(dǎo)的表語從句。

關(guān)系副詞 when, where, how, why 除在句子起連接作用外，在從句中還充當(dāng)時(shí)間，地點(diǎn)，方式或原因狀語，本身具有詞義。

例如：

★Go and get your coat.It's where you left it.去把雨衣拿來。就在你原來放的地方。

★

I had neither a raincoat nor an umbrella.That’s why I got wet through.我們既沒傘也沒雨衣，這是我們淋濕的原因。

★

That is how mice ruin many stores of grain every year.那就是老鼠是怎樣每年損害大量糧食的。

★

That is what he is worried about.那就是他所擔(dān)心的。

※ 由連詞because，as if/as though等引導(dǎo)的表語從句。

★

It looked as if it was going to snow.看起來好像要下雪了。

★

That's because we never thought of it.這是因?yàn)槲覀儚奈聪脒^此事。

★

It seems as if he didn’t know the answer.好像他不知道答案。

注意

A.表語從句一定要用陳述語序。

False: The question is when can he arrive at the hotel.Right: The question is when he can arrive at the hotel.B.不可以用if，而用whether 連接表語從句(as if 例外）。

引導(dǎo)賓語從句時(shí)可以互換if/whether 位于介詞后要用whether

位于句首時(shí)要用whether。

引導(dǎo)表語從句，主語從句，同位語從句時(shí)要用whether。

False: The question is if the enemy is marching towards us.Right: The question is whether the enemy is marching towards us.Right: It looked as if he had understood this question.C.不像賓語從句，在有表語從句的復(fù)合句中，主句時(shí)態(tài)和從句時(shí)態(tài)可以不一致。

Right: The question is who will travel with me to Beijing tomorrow.Right: The question is why he cried yesterday.D.that在表語從句中不可以省掉。

基本用法

表語從句只能置于主句之后，而主句的動(dòng)詞只能是聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞。

名詞性從句在be等系動(dòng)詞后作表語時(shí)被稱為表語從句

例如：

★The problem is how we can get the things we need.問題是我們?cè)鯓幽芘轿覀冃枰臇|西。(how 在表語從句中充當(dāng)方式狀語)

★

The scissors are not what I need.這把剪刀不是我所需要的。(what 在表語從句中充當(dāng)賓語)

★

What I told him was that I would find him a good play.我告訴他的是我會(huì)給他找個(gè)好劇本。(what在主語從句中作直接賓語，that作為表語從句的引導(dǎo)詞在該表語從句中不充當(dāng)句子成分，不能省略)

★

That is what I want to tell you.那就是我想要對(duì)你講的。(what在表語從句中充當(dāng)直接賓語)

★

That is why she failed to pass the exam.那就是她考試不及格的原因。(why 在表語從句中充當(dāng)原因狀語)
