Unit 1 A land of diversityGrammar—The Noun Clauses一、名词性从句的定义及分类在句子中起名词作用的句子叫名词从句(Noun Clauses)。
名词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,名词从句又可分别称为主语从句(Subject Clause)、宾语从句(Object Clause)、表语从句(Predicative Clause) 和同位语从句(Appositive ClauseWho will win the match is still unknown. 主语从句I want to know what he has told you.宾语从句The fact is that we have lost the game.表语从句The news that we won the game is exciting. 同位语从句二、名词性从句的连接词:引导名词性从句的连接词可分为三类:连接词:连接代词:what, whatever, who, whoever, whom, whose, which.(做主语、宾语、表语、定语)连接副词:when, where, how, why(做状语)主语从句一个句子在复合句中充当主语叫主语从句。
That the earth is round is true .Whether she will come or not is still a question .What you are doing seems very difficult .When they will start has not been decided yet .主语从句特点:1.有引导词that ,whether, who,what ,which ,when ,where,how, why . 一般情况下主语从句中的that不省略.2.为了避免头重脚轻,往往用it代替主语从句,放在句首,如It is + 名词/形容词/过去分词+ 主语从句(有用句型:)3.陈述句语序.Why he is late is still a question.4. whether引导的主语从句可以放在句首, if不能.用it作形式主语的that-从句有以下四种不同的搭配关系:•It + be +形容词+ that-从句It is necessary that…有必要……It is important that…重要的是……It is obvious that…很明显……b. It + be + -ed 分词+ that-从句It is believed that…人们相信……It is known to all that…众所周知……It has been decided that…已决定……c. It + be +名词+ that-从句It is common knowledge that………是常识It is a surprise that…令人惊奇的是……It is a fact that…事实是……d. It +不及物动词+ that-分句It appears that…似乎……It happens that…碰巧……It occurred to me that …我突然想起……练一练1. ____ you don’t like him is none of my business.A. WhatB. WhoC. ThatD. Whether2. ____ he said at the meeting astonished everybody present.A. WhatB. ThatC. The factD. The matterwhat与that在引导名词性从句时的区别:what引导名词性从句时在从句中充当句子成分,如主语,宾语,表语,表示…的.而that则不然,它在句子中只起连接作用,没有意义.(1) What you said yesterday is right.(2) That the earth goes around the sun is well-known to everybody.3. ____ leaves the room last ought to turn off the lights.A. AnyoneB. The personC. WhoeverD. Who4. _____the sports meet will be held depends on the weather.A. WheneverB. IfC. WhetherD.

It worried Mary a lot _____ she would pass the college entrance examination.A. whetherB. ifC. thatD. how宾语从句一个句子在复合句中充当宾语就叫宾语从句。
通常放在主句谓语动词(及物动词) ,介词,be+形容词之后。
anxious, certain, convinced, determined, glad, proud, surprised, worried, sorry, ashamed, disappointed, annoyed, pleased, satisfied, content等Do you know where he is ?I’m glad (that )you have passed the exam .I don’t know whether (if)you are willing tohelp me .I’ m sorry for what I have said.特别提示1.有引导词that ,whether, if, who, whose, what ,which ,when ,where, how, why .在宾语从句中的that可以省略,第2次出现就不能省。
2.下列宾语从句必须用whether 引导,不可用if:–a. 从句后有or not 时,不可用if :I don’t know whether he will come or not .–b. 介词宾语通常用whether 引导:It depends on whether he is coming or not .这要看他是否会来。
c. 后接动词不定式时。
Can you tell me whether to go or to stay? 你能否告诉我是去还是留?3. 用who,whom, which, whose, what, when, where, why, how, whoever, whatever, whichever等关联词引导的宾语从句相当于特殊疑问句,应注意句子语序要用陈述语序。
Do you know how old he is?I want to know what he has told you.She always thinks of how she can work well.She will give whoever needs help a warm support.4. think, believe, imagine, suppose等动词引起的否定性宾语从句中,要把上述主句中的动词变为否定式。
