状语从句和主句在语法上关系并不紧密,但在逻辑上是不可分割的。
1. 让步状语从句1) though, although, even if/though引导的让步状语从句最常见的让步状语从句是由though, although, even if/though引导的。
2) as引导的让步状语从句(a) as引导的让步状语从句必须倒装,如果动词或现在分词提前放在句首,谓语要补加助动词do/does/did, will等。
(b) 作表语用的单数可数名词放在句首时,该名词前不可加冠词。
(c) as从句的主语是代词时,主谓无需倒装;如果主语是名词时,则要倒装。
3) while引导的让步状语从句while表示“尽管,虽然”时,可以引导让步状语从句,这时while表达并列的转折,即主句与从句间的动作是在同一时间发生的。
while引导的从句通常放在主句之前。
4) no matter how与however引导的让步状语从句no matter与疑问词what,when,where,how等连用,或上述疑问词加-ever,都可以引导让步状语从句,两者基本可以互换。

复合句讲解和练习
复合句(complex sentence)定义:用一个句子来充当某个句子成分(主、宾、表、定、状、同位),从而构成一个从句,该从句(subordinate clause)前需要使用“关系词(relative words)”来与主句(main clause)连接在一起,形成一个完整的句子。
从句类型:1)从句在主句的主语位置,称之为主语从句(subject clause),由于主语在句首,所以主语从句的位置通常为句首。
2)从句在主句的宾语位置,称之为宾语从句(object clause),由于宾语在谓语后面,所以谓语动词后面的句子通常是宾语从句。
3)从句在主句的表语位置,称之为表语从句(predicative clause),如果一个句子出现在系动词后面,通常是表语从句。
4)从句在主句的定语位置,称之为定语从句(attributive clause),由于超过一个单词的定语通常放在名词后面,修饰限定前面的面请,所以名词后面出现句子,通常是定语从句(当然同位语从句除外)。
5)从句在主句的状语位置,称之为状语从句(adverbial clause),由于状语通常出现在一个句子的句首或者句末,而且常有逗号隔开,所以如果一个带有关系词的句子出现在另一个句子的句首或者句末并用逗号隔开了,通常就是状语从句。
6)句子本身已有主语,如果主语后面再增加一个句子来对主语的性质和身份做具体的说明,则称之为主语同位语(appositive clause)。
而句子本身已有宾语,如果宾语后面再增加一个句子来对宾语的性质和身份做具体的说明,则称之为宾语同位语。
判断主从句:1)复合句中,句首不带关系词的句子为主句,带关系词的句子为从句(但是要注意关系词省略的情况:宾语从句的关系词通常可省略,定语从句所修饰的名词在定语从句充当宾语的话关系词可以省略),判断出主从句以后,就可以根据从句的位置判断属于哪类从句。
练习判断一下哪些句子是复合句,并标出从句部分,说明属于哪类从句。
从句_百度百科
从句不能单独成句,但它也有主语部分和谓语部分,就像一个句子一样。所不同在于,从句须由一个关联词(connective)引导。根据引导从句为主不同大概可分为:主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句、定语从句和状语从句6类。前四类由于主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句及同位语从句在句子的功用相当于名词,所以通称名词性从句;定语从句功能相当于形容词,称为形容词性从句;而状语从句功能相当于副词,称为副词性从句。状语从句还可以分为条件状语从句、原因状语从句、地点状语从句、目的状语从句、让步状语从句、比较状语从句、方式状语从句、结果状语从句和时间状语从句。

定义
宾语从句就是一个句子作动词或介词的宾语。宾语从句在复合句中作宾语,位于及物动词后; Tell him which class you are in.
may think it strange that he would live there.
三要素:连接词
带有宾语从句的复合句就是用连接词把一个主句和一个宾语从句连接在一起。连接词有:that(可省略),what,who,when,where,why,which,if,whether,how.
英语语法。复合句(从句)
2)宾语从句
名词句用作宾语的从句叫宾语从句。引导宾语从句的关联词与引导主语从句表语从句的关联词大致一样,在句中可以作谓语动词或介词及非谓语动词的宾语。
1. 由连接词that引导的宾语从句
同位语:The fact that he has not been seen recently disturbs everyone in his office.
最近谁也没有见过他,这一事实令办公室所有的人不安。
形容词宾语:I am glad that you are satisfied with your job.
The teacher told us that Tom had left us for America.
5. think, believe, imagine, suppose等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。即将从句中的否定形式移到主句中。例如:
We don’t think you are here. 我们认为你不在这。
同位语从句和定语从句的区别:
that作为关系代词,可以引导定语从句,充当句子成分,在从句中作宾语时可以省略;that引导同位语从句时,起连词的作用,没有实际意义,不充当句子成分,一般不能省略。
试比较下面两个例句:
I had no idea that you were here.(that引导同位语从句,不能省略)
I don’t believe he will do so. 我相信他不会这样做。
3)表语从句
在句中作表语的从句叫表语从句。引导表语从句的关联词与引导主语从句的关联词大致一样,表语从句位于联系动词后,有时用as if引导。其基本结构为:主语+ 系动词+ that从句。例如:

英语语法从句基础知识大全
英语语法从句基础知识大全English:A subordinate clause, also known as a dependent clause, is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It is dependent on an independent clause, or main clause, to give it meaning and context. There are different types of subordinate clauses, including relative clauses, adverb clauses, and noun clauses. Relative clauses provide more information about a noun in the main clause, and they often begin with relative pronouns such as who, whom, whose, which, and that. Adverb clauses function as adverbs in a sentence, providing information about when, where, why, how, or to what degree something happened. They usually start with subordinating conjunctions such as although, because, if, or when. Noun clauses act as a single unit and function as a noun in a sentence. They can serve as the subject, object, or complement of the main clause. Subordinate clauses are essential for adding complexity and depth to sentences, and understanding how to use them correctly can greatly improve one's writing and communication skills.中文翻译:一个从属从句,也被称为依从从句,是一个有主语和动词但不能独立成句的单词组。
同位语从句英语表达
同位语从句英语表达英文回答:Appositive clauses are subordinate clauses that provide additional information about a noun or noun phrase that comes before it. They are also known as nonrestrictive clauses because they do not limit the meaning of the noun or noun phrase they modify. Instead, they add extra details or information that helps to identify or describe the noun or noun phrase.Appositive clauses are typically introduced by a comma and can be placed either before or after the noun or noun phrase they modify. For example:The boy, who was only ten years old, was the youngest member of the team.The team, which had been practicing for months, was ready for the big game.In the first example, the appositive clause "who was only ten years old" provides additional information about the noun "boy". It tells us that the boy is young, which helps to explain why he is the youngest member of the team.In the second example, the appositive clause "which had been practicing for months" provides additional information about the noun "team". It tells us that the team has been preparing for the big game, which helps to explain why they are confident that they will win.Appositive clauses can be used to provide a variety of information about a noun or noun phrase, including:Additional details: Appositive clauses can provide additional details about a noun or noun phrase, such as its size, shape, color, or location. For example:> The house, which was painted white, was located on a hill overlooking the town.Background information: Appositive clauses can provide background information about a noun or noun phrase, such as its history, purpose, or significance. For example:>The Declaration of Independence, which was adopted in 1776, is the founding document of the United States.Examples: Appositive clauses can provide examples of a noun or noun phrase, such as its different types, forms, or uses. For example:> Animals, which include mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish, are found all over the world.Definitions: Appositive clauses can providedefinitions of a noun or noun phrase, such as its meaning, purpose, or significance. For example:>Democracy, which is a form of government in which the people have the power, is an important value in many countries.Appositive clauses are a versatile tool that can beused to add a variety of information to a sentence. Theycan help to identify, describe, or explain a noun or noun phrase, and they can also provide additional details, background information, examples, or definitions.中文回答:同位语从句是提供它前面名词或名词短语附加信息的从属从句。

英语壮语从句知识点总结
英语壮语从句知识点总结Types of Subordinate ClausesThere are several different types of subordinate clauses, each serving a specific purpose in a sentence. The main types of subordinate clauses include:1. Adverbial Clauses: These clauses function as adverbs, providing information about the time, place, manner, reason, or condition of the action in the independent clause. For example, "When the rain stopped, we went outside."2. Adjective Clauses: These clauses modify nouns or pronouns in the independent clause, providing additional information about them. For example, "The girl who is wearing a red dress is my sister."3. Noun Clauses: These clauses function as a noun in the sentence, often serving as the subject or object of the main clause. For example, "What you said makes sense." Identifying Subordinate ClausesSubordinate clauses can be identified by key words or subordinating conjunctions that introduce them. These words signal that the clause cannot stand alone and is dependent on the main clause. Some common subordinating conjunctions include:- Adverbial Clauses: after, before, since, until, when, while, because, if, although, as, even though, in order to, so that, unless, etc.- Adjective Clauses: who, whom, whose, which, that, where, when, why, etc.- Noun Clauses: what, that, who, whom, whoever, whose, which, where, when, why, how, whether, etc.Using Subordinate ClausesUnderstanding how to use subordinate clauses correctly is essential in writing and speaking in English. Here are some key points to keep in mind:1. Punctuation: When a subordinate clause comes before the independent clause, it is followed by a comma. For example, "Although he was tired, he went to the party." If the subordinate clause comes after the independent clause, no comma is needed. For example, "He went to the party although he was tired."2. Verb Tenses: The verb tense in the subordinate clause depends on the context and timing of the action in relation to the main clause. For example, "When I arrived, they were already eating dinner."3. Relative Pronouns: In adjective clauses, relative pronouns such as who, whom, whose, which, and that are used to connect the subordinate clause to the main clause. For example, "The book that I bought is on the table."4. Positioning: The placement of the subordinate clause in a sentence can affect the meaning and emphasis. It is important to consider the flow and clarity of the sentence when using subordinate clauses.Common Mistakes with Subordinate ClausesThere are several common mistakes that learners of English often make when using subordinate clauses. Here are some of the most frequent errors to avoid:1. Run-On Sentences: Failing to connect a subordinate clause to an independent clause can result in a run-on sentence. For example, "I was tired I went to bed," should be "I was tired, so I went to bed."2. Misplacing Subordinate Clauses: Placing a subordinate clause in the wrong position in a sentence can lead to confusion or ambiguity. It is important to consider the logical flow and meaning of the sentence when using subordinate clauses.3. Comma Splices: Using a comma to join two independent clauses, instead of a coordinating conjunction or a semicolon, is a common error. For example, "I went to the store, I bought some bread," should be "I went to the store and bought some bread."Benefits of Using Subordinate ClausesUsing subordinate clauses effectively can enhance the quality of writing and communication in English. They allow for more complex and detailed sentences, providing additional information and creating a richer understanding of the topic. Subordinate clauses also help to vary sentence structure, making writing more interesting and engaging for the reader.In conclusion, subordinate clauses are an essential part of English grammar, adding depth and complexity to sentences. Understanding how to use and identify different types of subordinate clauses is key to effective communication. By mastering the use of subordinate clauses, learners of English can improve their writing and speaking skills, and convey their intended meaning with clarity and precision.。

subordinateclause从句What Is a Subordinate Clause? (with Examples)A subordinate clause (or dependent clause) is a clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it does not express a complete thought.Like all clauses, a subordinate clause has a subject and verb.Examples of Subordinate ClausesHere are some examples of subordinate clauses (shaded). You will notice that none of the shaded clauses could stand alone as a sentence. This is how a subordinate clause (or a dependent clause) is different from an independent clause.She had a pretty gift for quotation, which is a serviceable substitute for wit. (W Somerset Maugham, 1874-1965)A musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it. (Sir Thomas Beecham, 1879-1961)Always be nice to those younger than you because they are the ones who will be writing about you. (Cyril Connolly, 1903-1974)Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught. (Sir Winston Churchill, 1874-1965)Types of Subordinate ClauseSubordinate clauses can act as adjectives, adverbs, or nouns.The Adjective Clause. Here is an example of a subordinate clause acting as an adjective:The bull that charged us is back in the field.(The subordinate clause that charged us describes the bull. It is an adjective clause.)The Adverbial Clause. Here is an example of a subordinate clause acting as an adverb:I fished until the sun went down.(The subordinate clause until the sun went down modifies the verb to fish. It is an adverbial clause.)The Noun Clause.

Connective words
• There are 2 types of connective words in use. • One belongs to empty words, or functional words, called subordinating conjunctions; • while the other belongs to substantives, and they are actually pronouns and adverbs, • some called connective pronouns or connective adverbs and • the others called relative pronouns or relative adverbs.
1. Classification of subordinate clauses • According to functions, we have 6 types, that is, subject, object, predicative, attributive, adverbial and appositive clauses; • while based on formation, we have only 3, that is, noun clauses (including sub., ob., pred., and appo. clauses, for the 4 types are formed in the same ways), adjective clauses (attributive), and adverb clauses (adverbial).
3. How to form
Noun Clauses
• That: No meaning, no function in the clause, this conjunction is used to introduce an originally declarative sentence, that is, when trying to transform a declarative sentence into a noun clause, simply put a “that” ahead. • E.g.: “He is a student.” “I work here.” “John owned a beautiful car.”
Connective words
• Whenever an empty word is used as a connective word, it has to be followed by a complete declarative sentence, for such a connective word serves no function in a sentence, and we cannot omit any one member of a sentence; • while whenever a substantive is used, it can only be followed by an incomplete declarative sentence, because such a word must serve as a member in a sentence and we cannot either add an extra member to a sentence. • Find out what type of connective word is used in a subordinating clause, and we know the structure of the clause.
2. Formation of subordinate clauses in general
• A subordinate clause consists of a connective word and a complete or incomplete declarative sentence, depending on what kind of connective word it is given. • So here, we have to know what kinds of such words can be used.
3. How to form
Noun Clauses
• Now let’s see the first type, that is, Noun Clauses. • 1) Connective words used in noun clauses. • 2) Positions of Noun Clauses.
3. How to form
Noun Clauses
• 1) Connective words used in noun clauses. • Two types of connective words are used in introducing a noun clause: • A. subordinating conjunctions, and • B. connective pronouns and adverbs. • In group A, conjunctions “that” and “whether” (or sometimes “ if ” instead) are mainly in use.
3. How to form different types of sub-clauses
• This problem can further be divided into 2 sub- problems, that is, • 1) connective words and the transformation of a type of subordinate clause; and • 2) how to join it to a main clause, that is, its position in the whole sentence.
Subordinate Clauses
• When we integrate two or more sub.-pred. structures, that is, clauses, into a sentence, we have a compound, a complex or a compoundcomplex sentence. • Since we have previously discussed how to form a compound sentence, or a parallel construction, we have only to discuss how to form a complex one. •
• And since we know a complex consists of a main clause and one or more subordinate ones, we can divide the problem into 3 sub-problems: • 1. Classification of subordinate clauses. • 2. Formation of subordinate clauses in general. • 3. How to form different types of subclauses.
3. How to form
Noun Clauses
• E.g.: “Is he a student?”, “Do you work here?” are both general questions, and they can be transformed into noun clauses as the follows: “whether he is a student”, and “whether you work here”.
• The 3 are all simple declarative sentences. If we try to transform them into noun clauses, just put them this way: • “that he is a student”, “that I work here”, and “that John owned a beautiful car”, and then they can be used in a complex sentence as any kind of noun clauses. • e.g.: That I work here is known to all. (sub. clause) • The fact is that I work here. (pred. clause) • He doesn’t know that I work here. ( ob. clause) • You have to notice the fact that I work here. (appo. clause)
3. How to form
Noun Clauses
• Whether ( If ): No function, but with a meaning of demanding an answer of “yes” or “no”, this conjunction is used to introduce a sentence of an originally general question, • that is, when trying to transform a general question into a noun clause, change it into a declarative sentence first, and then put a “whether” (or “if” sometimes, especially in object clauses) and you have a perfect noun clause.
