表语从句

位于连系动词之后、充当表语的从句,引导词包括 that、whether、连接代词/副词以及 as if、because 等。

一、核心规则

  1. 表语从句只跟在连系动词之后:be, look, seem, remain, appear, sound 等。
  2. 引导词有连词 that、whether,连接代词与连接副词,关系代词型 what,以及 as if / as though / because。
  3. whether 可引导表语从句,if 通常不能;这是与宾语从句的重要差异。
  4. that 引导表语从句时一般不省略,尤其在正式文体中。
  5. 主语为 suggestion、advice、idea、order、requirement 等表建议要求的名词时,表语从句用 (should) + 动词原形。
  6. 从句一律用陈述语序,由连接副词引导时 also 保持正常语序。
  7. 常见句型:The reason is that…(不能说 The reason is because…)。

二、结构与公式

  • 主语 + 连系动词 + that + 从句
  • 主语 + 连系动词 + whether + 从句
  • 主语 + 连系动词 + 连接代词/副词 + 从句
  • The problem / question / trouble is + wh- 从句
  • That's why…(那就是…的原因)/ That's because…(那是因为…)
  • 虚拟形式:My suggestion is that + 主语 + (should) + 动词原形

三、典型例句

  1. The fact is that he doesn’t really try.(事实是他没有做真正的努力。)
  2. The question is whether the film is worth seeing.(问题是这部电影是否值得看。)
  3. The problem is who we can get to replace her.(问题是我们能找到谁去替换她。)
  4. That’s why he didn’t come.(这就是他没有来的缘故。)
  5. You are not who I thought you were.(你已不是我过去所想象的人。)
  6. My suggestion is that we should tell him.(我的建议是我们应该告诉他。)— 虚拟语气

四、易错点

  1. ✗ The question is if we can finish it today. → ✓ The question is whether we can finish it today. 原因:表语从句不用 if。
  2. ✗ The reason why he was late is because he missed the bus. → ✓ The reason … is that he missed the bus. 原因:The reason is that… 是固定搭配,避免 because 与 reason 语义重复。
  3. ✗ The problem is how can we find him. → ✓ The problem is how we can find him. 原因:表语从句用陈述语序。
  4. ✗ Your coat is still there you left it. → ✓ Your coat is still where you left it. 原因:此处 where 引导表语从句,不兼作定语从句。

五、高考考点

  1. 语法填空:连系动词后设空,从句缺成分填 what/who/how/when,不缺成分填 that。
  2. 单选:That’s why… 与 That’s because… 的区分是经典考点。
  3. 短文改错:表语从句中误用 if、误用疑问语序。
  4. 写作升级:用 The reason is that…、What matters is that… 展开说明,是议论文常用结构(见 语法在写作中的升级用法)。
