名词性从句
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、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
引导名词性从句的连接词可分为三类:
从属连词:that(无任何词意);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”)because。以上在从句中均不充当任何成分
连接代词:what, whatever, who, whoever, whom, whose, which. Whichever, whomever
连接副词:when, where, how, why,whenever,whereever.
名词性从句的分类
1.主语从句
作句子主语的从句叫主语从句。主语从句通常由从属连词that,whether,if和连接代词what,who,which,whatever,whoever以及连接副词how,when,where,why等词引导。that 在句中无词义,只起连接作用;连接代词和连接副词在句中既保留自己的疑问含义、又起连接作用,在从句中充当从句的成分。例如:
What he wants to tell us is not clear. 他要跟我们说什么,还不清楚。
Who will win the match is still unknown. 谁能赢得这场比赛还不得而知。
It is known to us how he became a writer. 我们都知道他是如何成为一名作家的。
Where the English evening will be held has not yet been announced. 英语晚会将在哪里举行,还没有宣布。
【典例1】(2009·上海卷)It is not immediately clear ____ the financial crisis will soon be over.
A.since
B. what
C. when
D. Whether
【答案】D
【解析】考查主语从句的用法。该句的意思时:经济危机是否会很快结束是很明显的事情。“是否”用whether表示,不能选when是因为从句中由soon这一实践状语。
【典例2】(2008·山东卷)_____ was most important to her, she told me, was her family.
A. It
B. This
C. What
D. As
【答案】C
【解析】she told me是插入语,可删除。what引导主语从句,在从句中充当主语。
it 与this 不能引导主语从句。
有时为避免句子头重脚轻,常用形式主语it代替主语从句作形式主语放于句首,而把主语从句置于句末。主语从句后的谓语动词一般用单数形式。常用句型如下:
(1)It + be + 名词+ that从句
It is our hope that the two sides will work towards peace.我们的希望是双方能朝着和平的方向发展。
(2)It + be + 形容词+ that从句
It is obvious that you are made a big mistake.很明显你犯了一个大错误。
(3)It + be + 动词的过去分词+ that从句
It is reported that no passengers were injured in the accident.据报道,事故中没有乘客受伤。
(4)It + 特殊动词+ that 从句
It happened to me that i had been away when he called.他打电话时我刚好不在家。
另注意在主语从句中用来表示惊奇、不相信、惋惜、理应如此等语气时,谓语动词要用虚拟语气“(should) +do”,通常should可省略。常用的句型有:
1、It is necessary (important, natural, strange, surprising,unthinkable,unbelievable,incredible)+ that 从句
2、It is a pity (a shame, no wonder, etc.) that…
3、It is suggested (requested, proposed, desired, advised,ordered,required,insisted,demanded)+that 从句
It is suggested that you (should) spend more time in studying English.
【典例】(2009·天津卷)It is obvious to the students ______ they should get well prepared for their future.
A. as
B. which
C. whether
D. that
【答案】D
【解析】考查名词性从句。本空格处应是一个主语从句的引导词,因该主语从句不缺成分,且句意完整,故应用不作任何成分的连词that。
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
由连接词that引导宾语从句时,that在句中不担任任何成分,在口语或非正式的文体中常被省去,但如从句是并列句时,第二个分句前的that不可省。例如:
He has told me (that)he will go to Shanghai tomorrow. 他已经告诉我他明天要去上海。
I think(that)it will clear up this afternoon and that they will come to say goodbye to us.
注意:在demand,order,suggest,decide,insist,desire,request,command等表示要求、命令、建议、决定等意义的动词后,宾语从句常用“(should)+ 动词原形”。例如:
I insist that she (should) do her work alone. 我坚持要她自己工作。
The commander ordered that troops (should) set off at once. 司令员命令部队马上出发。
(2)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。例如:
I want to know what he has told you. 我想知道他告诉了你什么。
She always thinks of how she can work well. 她总是在想怎样能把工作做好。
She will give whoever needs help a warm support. 凡需要帮助的人,她都会给予热情的支持。
【典例1】(2008·北京卷)The companies are working together to create _______ they hope will be the best means of transport in the 21st century.
A. which
B. that
C. what
D. who
【答案】C
【解析】create后为宾语从句,从句中they hope是插入语,可删除。因为从句中缺少主语,所以用what引导该从句。
【典例2】(2009·全国卷Ⅰ) Could I speak to is in charge of International Sales please?
A. who
B. what
C. whoever
D. whatever
答案】C
【解析】考查名词性从句。题干中介词to后面为宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,因此填whoever。
