2021 年高考英语二轮复习专项突破:名词性从句
在复合句中起名词作用的从句叫作名词性从句。包括主语从
句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
注:由于名词性从句在句中不同的句法功能(即名词性从句在复
合句中,能充当主语、宾语、表语、同位语等。)相应地,名词性从
句可以分为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。

主语从句
主语从句可直接放在句首,也可用形式主语 it 代替,而将主语从句后置。
that 引导的主语从句
1)that 引导的主语从句置于句首(that 此时在从句中不充当任何成分,无含义,只起连接
作用,不能省略)
That the earth moves around the sun is known to all.
注:从句作主语,谓语动词用单数形式。
2)在 that 引导的主语从句中,常用 it 作形式主语,that 引导的真正的主语从句后置,常
见的此类句型有:
①It+系动词+形容词+that 从句。
常用于这种结构的形容词有:
necessary 必要的 certain 明确的

(un)likely (不)可能的 possible 可能的
strange 奇怪的 obvious 明显的
natural 自然的 important 重要的

语(should)+动词原形+其它。
例:It is necessary that a college student (should) master one or two foreign
languages.It is strange that you (should) trust Jane.
②It+系动词+名词+that 从句。
常用于这种结构的名词有:
a pity 遗憾 a honor 荣耀
a shame 令人遗憾的事 a wonder 奇迹
good news 好消息 no wonder 难怪
a fact 事实 no surprise 不奇怪
It is a pity that you didn’t attend the lecture yesterday.It is no wonder that you’ve achieved
so much success.
③It+ be+过去分词+that 从句。

remembered 有人记得 thought 有人认为
considered 认为 well-known 很著名

注:It is suggested/advised/ordered/requested/insisted/demanded +that+主语(should)+动词
原形+其它。
例:It is suggested that you(should) spend more time in studying English.
④It+动词(+宾语或状语)+that 从句。
常用于这种结构的动词有:
seem 显得 happen 碰巧
matter 重要 occur 出现
turn out 结果是
It happened to me that I was away when he called.It occurred to me that we should
get in touch with the manager.
whether/if 引导的主语从句
whether 引导的主语从句即可以放在句首,也可以放在句末,但 if 引导的主语从句只能放
在句末,前面需用 it 作形式主语。whether, if 只起连句中不作成分,且不可省略。
Whether you can succeed or not depends on how hard you work at it.(whether 引
导的主语从句放在句首)
It is unknown whether/if he has agreed to my plan.(主语从句是 whether/if he has
agreed to my plan, it 作形式主语)
连接代词或连接副词引导的主语从句
1)连接代词 what, who, whom, , whose, which , whatever, whoever, whichever
等在从句中作主语、宾语、表语、定语,不可以省略。
What he said just now is true.Who breaks the law will be punished.
注:①whoever 和 whatever 引导的名词性从句一般不用 it 作形式主语。②what 引导的
主语从句一般按单数对待,但在实际使用中,其单复数取决于其成分的含义。
例: What the kid wanted was only a new school bag.(schoolbag 是可数名词单数,
谓语动词用单数)What they need are a car and some water.(a car and some water 表示
复数概念,谓语动词用复数)
2)连接副词 when, where, why, how,whenever,however,wherever 等在从句中
作状语。
Why they suddenly disappeared remains a mystery.(why 在从句中作原因状语)
When we’ll go for a picnic isn’t known.(when 在从句中作时间状语)
2
宾语从句
句法功能
1)作动词的宾语
①大多数位于及物动词后。I hope (that) you can join us in the game.I doubt whether/if he will
come to the wedding.
②有些动词短语后。
常见的这类动词短语有:
find out 查出 turn out 结果是
point out 指出 make sure 确信
figure out 辨别出 keep/bear in mind 牢记
Please find out when the ship sails for New York.
We should keep in mind that sports can help us develop both our bodies and
characters.
③可以运用 it 作形式宾语代替宾语从句
A.动词 find, feel, think, consider, make, believe, guess, suppose, assume 等后有宾语
补足语时,要用 it 作形式宾语,而把 that 引导的宾语从句后置。
例:I think it necessary that we take plenty of hot water every day.I have made it rule
that I keep diaries.
B.有些动词(词组)带宾语从句时需要在从句前加 it.如:hate, dislike, appreciate, see to,
depend on 等。除此之外,take it for granted 中的 it 是位于动词短语而不是从句前。
例:I hate it when they talk with their mouths full of food.Some students just take it
granted that they will pass the exam.
2)作介词的宾语
一般情况下介词后常用 wh-类连接词引导宾语从句。(有的介词如 in, except, but 后可跟
that 引导的宾语从句)
We are talking about whether we admit students into our clubs.They look similar
except that one is a little tall.
3)作系表结构的宾语。
常用于此类结构的形容词有:sure, certain, glad, pleased, happy, afraid, surprised,
satisfied, sorry 等表示“情感”的形容词。
We’re all pleased that we have once again overcome the difficulty.I am extremely
sorry that I have troubled you so much.
that 引导的宾语从句
that 引导的宾语从句表示陈述意义。that 无实际意义,在从句中不充当任何成分。that
可以省略。
I don’t think (that) there will be time to do it.Many people believe that robots will
do most of our work.
whether/if 引导的宾语从句
1)可用 whether/if 的情况
whether/if 常放在 ask, care, wonder, find out 等后引导宾语从句。whether/if 在从句中
不作成分,但是有“是否”含义,不可省略。
I asked them whether/if they would win the match.Do you care whether/if you win?
2) 只用 whether 不用 if 的情况
①引导介词后的宾语从句时。
It depends on whether it will snow tomorrow.
②与 or not 连用时。
I asked your secretary whether she could come or not.
③与不定式连用时。
I really don’t want know whether to accept or refuse.有些动词,如 leave, put, discuss,
doubt 等后的宾语从句常用 whether 引导。
④We doubt whether he will keep his promise.
⑤宾语从句前置,置于句首时。
Whether they can come here on time, we don’t know.
连接代词或连接副词引导的主语从句
1)连接代词 what, who, whom, , whose, which , whatever, whoever, whichever
等在从句中作主语、宾语、表语、定语,不可以省略。
I don’t know whom you should depend on.Could you tell me which gate we have
to go to?
2) 连接副词 when, where, why, how,whenever,however,wherever 等在从句中
作状语。
He didn’t tell me when the traffic accident had taken place. Could you please tell
me how I can read the new world?
注:how 构成的疑问短语也可以引导宾语从句,常见的有 how old, how many, how much,
how far, how soon, how long 等。例: Do you know how old your English teacher is.
宾语从句的注意事项
1)宾语从句的时态
宾语从句谓语动词的时态常常受到主句谓语动词的影响,因而在使用时要注意主句和从句两
部分的时态。
用法 例句
当主句的谓语动词是一般过去,其宾
语从句的时态一般要用相应的过去时态
The policewoman asked the little boy
where he lived.He said (that) he was going to
take care of the baby.
当主句的谓语动词是一般现在时或祈
使句,其宾语从句的时态可以任何适当的
时态
Do you know how Amy came to school
this morning?Please tell me whom you went to
the garden with this morning.
当宾语从句表达客观事实或规律时,
其时态应用一般现在时
Everyone knew that there are sixty minutes
in an hour.The teacher said that the earth goes
around the sun.
2) 宾语从句的语序
陈述句作宾语从句时,仍然用陈述语序;疑问句作宾语从句时,原来的倒装语序要改为陈述
语序。
Tom advised that I should take more water.I don’t know why he is leaving.
宾语从句的语序:引导词+主语+谓语+其他
3) 宾语从句的否定转移 主语是第一人称 I/we,主句的谓语动词是表示“想,认为”等
意义的动词,如:think,believe, imagine, suppose, expect, guess 等,若后面的从句时否定
意义时,从句的否定一般要转移到主句中,其反义疑问句的人称和时一般要与宾语从句一致。
We don’t think you can play the guitar.I don’t believe that’s his fault, is it?We find
that he seldom goes to visit his teacher, does he? (否定词否定,hardly, never, seldom,
no, few, little 等)
4) 不能省略 that 的情况
在 that 引导的宾语从句中,连接词 that 只起引导作用,无具体意义,不在从句中充当任何
成分,常常可以省略。但是,在下列情况中不可以省略。
①句中出现两个或两个以上的由 that 引导的宾语从句时。此时,只有第一个从句中的 that
可以省去,其余并列的宾语从句中的 that 都要保留。He said (that) the film was excellent and
that he wanted to see it once again.
②that 从句中又有其他从句时。I am afraid that if you’ve lost it, you must pay for it.
③it 作形式宾语代替 that 引导的宾语从句时,不能省略 that。We took it for granted that
they would help us.
④当宾语从句的主语是 this,that 或者被 this,that 修饰时。He said that this book was
very useful.
⑤当宾语从句时双宾语中的直接宾语时。I want to tell you that this problem is very
common.
⑥宾语从句前有插入语时。We hope, on the contrary, that he will stay at home with us.
⑦that 引导的宾语从句谓语句首时。That our team will win, I believe.
⑧宾语从句在 except, but, except, in 等介词之后。He also likes playing the piano
besides that he is good at playing basketball.
3
表语从句
表语从句位于主句的连系动词 be, seem, look, sound, taste, feel, remain, appear 等之
后,常用的连接词与主语从句和宾语从句的连接词相同,用法也一样。此外,表语从句还可用
as if, as though, because 来引导。
that, whether 引导的表语从句
that, whether 只起连接作用,在从句中不作成分。that 无实义,一般不可省略,whether
意为“是否”,不能换成 if.(一般不用 if 引导表语从句)
Our problem is that I don’t look any different from other people.Another
important difference is whether schools are state schools or private schools.
as if, as though, because 引导的表语从句
1)as if, as though 引导的表语从句可用陈述语气,也可用虚拟语气。
You look as if you’ve had a good time. (陈述语气)You look as if he were from the
Mars. (虚拟语气)
注:此类表语从句常跟在特定的动词后面,如 seem, appear, look, taste, sound, feel 等。
2)because 引导的表语从句主语不能用 reason。
---You look tired.---That may be because I didn’t have a good sleep yesterday
morning.
注:如果主句主语是 reason,表语从句的连接词用 that,不能用我 why 或 because。常
见的句型为“The reason(why) is that…”。
The reason (why) he came late was that he got up late.(that 不能换成 because)
表语从句的注意事项
1)wh-表语从句应注意的问题
wh-类连接词引导的表语从句作表语时,通常不含疑问意义,而是分别表示具体的地点、时
间、原因和方式等。
This is why I think my happiest days will be in the future. (表示具体原因)Tomorrow
is when it will be most convenient. (表示具体时间)This is where I met Peter for the first
time. (表示具体地点)
2)表语从句用虚拟语气的情况
如果主句的主语是 advice, demand, order, suggestion, requirement, request,
command 等时,表语从句用虚拟语气,结构是“(should)+动词原形”。
4
同位语从句
同位语从句是用以解释说明某一名词内容和实质的从句。常见的连接词有:that, whether,
why, who, where, how, when 等。if 一般不引导同位语从句。that, whether 不作成分,
whether 表示“是否”,其它连接词具有实义,同时在同位语从句中作一定成分。引导同位语
从句的连接词一般不可省略。
常跟同位语从句的名词或短语。
belief 信念 with the
exception
…除外
explanation 解释 doubt 怀疑
idea 主意 hope 希望
opinion 观点 news 消息
thought 想法 possibility 可能性
truth 事实 wish 愿望
question 问题 fact 事实
problem 问题 promise 诺言
report 报道 Reply 答复
advice 建议 suggestion 建议
word 消息 warning 警告
The story goes that the lost child has gone abroad.Jim kept his promise that he
would always do everything he could for Mary to make sure of her happiness.
同位语从句的注意点
1)同位语从句的语气
在 suggestion, advice, request, order ,demand, requirement 等意为“建议,命令,要
求”的名词后,同位语从句中的谓语动词常用“should+动词原形”的虚拟语气结构,其中 should
可以省略。
The suggestion came from the chairman that the new rule (should) be adopted.The
government gave the order that all these houses (should) be pulled down in three
weeks.
2) 同位语从句与定语从句区别 ①从性质上区别:
同位语从句相当于一个名词,对前面的抽象名词进行解释和说明;而定语从句相当于一个形
容词,对先行词进行修饰或限定。 The girls were surprised at the fact that ocean ships can
sailed up the Great lakes. (同位语从句)There are laws that do not allow people to burn
too much coal. (定语从句) ②从引导词上区别: 引导定语从句的 that 是关系代词,它的作用
是连接主句和从句,并代表先行词在从句中充当成分,且 that 作宾语时可以省略,指物时可用
which 代替。而引导同位语从句的 that 是连词,只起连接主句和从句的作用,它不充当任何成
分,不能省略,也不可被 which 替代。We expressed the hope that Mr and Mrs Smith would
come to China the next year. (同位语从句)The news (that/which) we heard spread all
over the city.(定语从句) ③从所修饰词上区别:
同位语从句修饰的名词数量有限,往往是含有某种信息的词,如 message, news, fact, hope
等。而定语从句修饰的词可以是名词、代词、主句的一部分或整个主句。 Some people have
the idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days. (同位语从句)The time when
I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. (定语从句)
④判断定语从句和同位语从句的方法:
凡是同位语从句,改为 The fact/news/idea/order/truth is/was… 结构时,从语法和语义
上都讲的通,而定语从句则不可。
The news that our team won the game excited us all.The news is that our team won
the game. (√)
The news that the radio broadcast this morning is not true at all.The news was that
the radio broadcast…。(×)
