请观察下列句子, 注意主语从句的特点。
1. That the earth travels round the sun is a well-known fact.

3. Who will act the lead in the play has not been decided yet.
4. Where the young man has gone is not known.
5. When and where the test will be given is not yet decided.
【归纳总结】主语从句必须有引导词；主语从句用陈述句语气。
1. 引导主语从句的词有：
连词: that, whether；
连接代词: who, whose, whom, whoever, what, which等；
连接副词where, when, whenever, wherever, how, why等。
主语从句引导词的选择：
1).连接词: that, whether
(1) That he will win is certain.
(2) It has been reported that sales of beef in China will increase.
(3) Whether we shall raise ducks or geese remains to be decided.
(4) Whether he ’ll join us in the discussion is of great importance.

归纳总结：
主语从句引导词的选择主要是根据从句的结构和意义来选择。
1.如果从句的意义和结构完整，则用that。
2.如果从句的意义和结构不完整，则根据从句的意义和结构选择相应的引导词。
比较that / what
1. What he wants is a book.
2. That he wants to go there is obvious.
3. What happened is not clear.
4. This is the best TV that is made in China. 定语从句
5. The first museum that he visited in China was the History Museum.
定语从句
that 和what 的选用：that 和 what 都可引导主语从句。但是，what除起连
接作用外，还在主语从句中充当成分，可做从句的主语、宾语、或表语。而that
在主语从句中不充当任何成分，只起连接作用。
翻译和分析下列句子：
1. It is well reported that a storm is coming.
3

2. It is true that the earth moves around the sun.
3. It is a pity that I missed the train.
4. It doesn’t matter whether he will come or not.
5. It seems that it is going to rain.
6. It happened that they didn’t know my address.
归纳：为了使句子保持平衡，常用it来代替主语从句，而把主语从句放到后面，
尤其是连词that引导的主语从句常用于此种句式中。
常用句型如下：
It+ be +名词+ that 从句
It+ be + 形容词+ that从句
It+ be + 动词的过去分词+ that从句
It+ be + 不及物动词+ that从句
1. It’s likely/possible/important/necessary/clear that…
很可能/重要的是… /必要的是……/很清楚…
2. It’s known/reported/ thought/said that… 据说/据报道…
3. It seems/appears/happens that… 显然、明显、碰巧.…
4. It’s been announced/declared that… 已经通知/宣布…
5. It’s no wonder that…并不奇怪/无疑…
6. It’s a pity/a fact /a common knowledge (众所周知） / a common saying
（俗话说）that…
主语从句常见错误：
下列各句均有一处错误，请改正并分析原因。
1. Light travels faster than sound is common knowledge.
改：在is后加that。that虽无词义但引导主语从句位于句首时不能省略。
2. If she’s coming or not doesn’t matter much.
改：将If变为Whether。if, whether都可表示“是否”, 但if不能引导位于
主句之前的主语从句，它可以引导位于主句之后带有形式主语it的主语从句。

3. That the professor said is of great importance.
改：将That改为What。that引导主语从句时无词义，只起一个连接的作用。What
the professor said表示“教授所说的”，said后面还需要一个宾语，就只能
用what。4. Where will the trees be planted has not been decided.
改：将will置于trees之后。主语从句要用陈述句语序。
5. No matter who breaks the rule will be punished.
改：将No matter who变为whoever。引导让步状语从句时二者可互换，但引导
名词性从句时只能用whoever。
6. When and where the meeting will be held still remain a question.
改：将remain变为remains。主语从句表示单一概念时，谓语要用单数形式。
