(一)主语从句
在复合句中充当主语的从句。
1.that引导主语从句
that引导主语从句时不同于其他的连词,既无词义也不作成分,只起单纯的连接作用,且通常不可以省。为了强调that引导的主语从句而置之于句首时,that不可省。
①That the driver could not control his car was obvious.
②That she was chosen made us very happy.
③That he will come is certain.
④That he would take the risk is true.
⑤That he should have married her isn't surprising.
★通常,that引导主语从句时用it做形式主语,把从句置于句尾,此时that有时可省。例如:
①It was obvious that the driver could not control his car.
②It made us very happy that she was chosen.
③It is certain that he will come.
④It is true that he would take the risk.
⑤It isn't surprising (that) he should have married
