名词性从句根据其作用可分为：⑪. 主语从句；⑫. 宾语从句；⑬. 介词宾语从句；⑭.

表语从句和⑮. 同位语从句。

Ⅲ. 引导词：（Introducing Words.）

⑪.That. 引导名词性从句表达陈述语气，that is, 肯定句和否定句。引导名词性从句其无任何实在意义，不做任何句子成分，只起连接作用。当动词后跟一个that 引

导的宾语从句时that可以省略掉，其余情况均不得省略。

⑫.Whether/if 引导名词性从句表达一般疑问句语气。其意义为是否，但在从句中也不做任何句子成分。动宾从句中既可用whether, 又可用if, 其余从句仅用whether.

⑬.What, when, where, why, which, how等所有特殊疑问词和as if , as though, because.

都表达了一种特殊的疑问情况。
