第四讲 表语从句
一、定义：
1. 在复合句中用作表语的从句就是表语从句。表语从句只能置于主句之后，而主句的动词只能是连系动词（be, look, seem, sound, appear）。它位于主句的连系动词之后。 这问题令人困惑
主语 系动词 形容词作表语 问题是什么时候我们可以得到加薪.
主语 系动词 一个句子作表语---表语从句
2. 连接表语从句的连接词有：连词that, whether ；连接代词what, who, which, 连接副词when, where,
why, how. 还可由because 引导。

我们应该帮助这位老太太干家务活。

2. 不可以用if ，而用whether 连接表语从句(as if 例外）。
False: The question is if the enemy is marching towards us.
Right: The question is whether the enemy is marching towards us.
Right: It looked as if he had understood this question.
3. 在有表语从句的复合句中，主句时态和从句时态可以不一致。
Right: The question is who will travel with me to Beijing tomorrow.
Right: The question is why he cried yesterday.
4.that 在表语从句中不可以省掉。
