名词性从句的功能相当于名词词组, 它在复合句中能担任主语、宾语、表语、同位语、介词宾语等，因此根据它在句中不同的语法功能，名词性从句又可分别称为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。

一、引导名词性从句的连接词分类引导名词性从句的连接词可分为三类：连词（5个）：that（宾语从句或表语从句中that有时可以省略）whether,if（均表示“是否”表明从句内容的不确定性）as if ,as though（均表示“好像”，“似乎”）以上在从句中均不充当任何成分连接代词（9个）：what, whatever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, whose, which, whichever连接副词（7个）：when, where, how, why, whenever, wherever, however 不可省略的连词：1. 介词后的连词2. 引导主语从句和同位语从句的连词不可省略。

Noun-clause
在句子中能够充当名词所充当成分的从句被称为名词性从句，其中包括主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句四种。

从句的定义
一个句子A在另一个句子B中充当什么成分就叫什么从句，其中句子A 是从句，句子B是主句。

从句必须依托主句，不能单独存在。

从句所遵循的原则:
1 主从一致原则
从句的时态必须与主句的时态保持一致。

在此，我们所说的一致，并非绝地意义上的一致，而是时态基点的一致。

2 陈述句语序原则
从句在语序上保持陈述句的语序：即主语+谓语的形式。

每个从句必须有自己的引导词，且引导词必须放句首。

3 成分完整原则
从句在成分上必须保持完整，也就是说必须符合五个句子基本类型其中任意一个。

S + Vi (+adv.)
S + Vt + O
S + L-v + P
S + Vtt + O + O
S + Vt + O + OC
Ps：从句必须有引导词，且引导词属于从句中的一部分。

从句成立的前提是必须有主句，没有主句就没有从句。

引导词
连词that if whether as if
连接代词who whose what which whom 以及+ever
连接副词when where why how 以及+ever
同位语从句。

Noun Clauses名词性从句在句中起名词作用的从句称为名词性从句。

名词性从句可以像名词一样在句中主语、宾语、表语、介词宾语或同位语等。

That从句除个别情况外，一般不能作介词的宾语。

如：1)误: Are you sure of that he will not come.正: Are you sure that he won’t come.2）That引导主语从句时，通常采取It is..... that-clause结构。

如：It is obvious that she doesn’t understand spoken English.2.由wh-words引导的名词性从句：What he was talking about was interesting.Why they left the country is a secret.Where she went is none of your business.Whoever wants to come is welcome,There is something in what he said.He always says whatever comes into his mind,They can watch whichever program they prefer.I don’t know who is coming to the party.Let’s ask him which one he wants.Could you tell me how old she is.How this happened is not clear to anyone.I don’t know how many English words he has learned these two years.注意：Wh-words引导名词性从句时，在句中担任语法成分，而且常保留其本身的含义，因此翻译时一般要译出来。

用宾语从句写英语作文初中Writing an English Essay Using Noun ClausesOne of the fundamental aspects of academic writing in English is the use of noun clauses. A noun clause is a dependent clause that functions as a noun within a sentence. These clauses can serve as the subject, object, or complement of a main clause. Mastering the useof noun clauses is crucial for composing well-structured and sophisticated essays that effectively convey ideas and arguments.To begin, it is important to understand the structure of a noun clause.A noun clause typically starts with a subordinating conjunction such as "that," "whether," "if," "why," "when," "where," or "how." These conjunctions signal that the clause that follows is dependent on the main clause and functions as a noun. For example, the sentence "That he studied hard for the exam surprised his teacher" contains the noun clause "that he studied hard for the exam," which serves as the subject of the main clause.Noun clauses can also serve as the direct object of a verb. In thesentence "The coach explained how the team should approach the game," the noun clause "how the team should approach the game" is the direct object of the verb "explained." Additionally, noun clauses can act as the subject complement, as seen in the sentence "The question is whether the team will win the championship."One of the primary benefits of using noun clauses in academic writing is that they allow for more complex and nuanced expression of ideas. By embedding information within a clause, writers can provide additional context, clarification, or explanation without resorting to overly lengthy or unwieldy sentences. This can help to create a more sophisticated and polished writing style.Furthermore, noun clauses can be used to effectively introduce and support arguments within an essay. For example, a writer might begin a paragraph with the statement "The research suggests that the proposed policy will have a significant impact on the local economy." The noun clause "that the proposed policy will have a significant impact on the local economy" serves as the direct object of the verb "suggests," providing the reader with a clear and concise summary of the key claim or argument that will be explored in the following discussion.In addition to their structural and rhetorical benefits, the use of noun clauses can also contribute to the overall coherence and flow of anessay. By seamlessly integrating these clauses into the larger narrative, writers can create a sense of logical progression and cohesion, guiding the reader through the development of their ideas.It is important to note, however, that the effective use of noun clauses requires a certain level of grammatical proficiency and attention to detail. Errors in subject-verb agreement, pronoun usage, or clause structure can undermine the clarity and precision of the writing. As such, it is essential for students to carefully review and revise their work to ensure that their noun clauses are properly constructed and integrated into the overall essay.In conclusion, the use of noun clauses is a critical component of academic writing in English. By mastering the structure and function of these dependent clauses, students can enhance the sophistication, clarity, and persuasiveness of their essays. Through consistent practice and careful attention to grammatical accuracy, writers can develop the skills necessary to effectively employ noun clauses in their academic work, ultimately improving their overall writing abilities and enhancing their intellectual expression.。
