引導(dǎo)名詞性從句的連接詞可分為三類:
連接詞: that, whether ,if (不充當(dāng)從句的任何成分)
連接代詞:what, whatever, who, whoever, whom, whose, which
連接副詞:when, where, how, why
不可省略的連詞:
1. 介詞后的連詞
2. 引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句和同位語(yǔ)從句的連詞不可省略。例如:
That she was chosen made us very happy. 她被選上了,我們很高興。
We heard the news that our team had won. 我們聽(tīng)到消息說(shuō)我們隊(duì)贏了。
比較:whether與if 均為"是否"的意思。 但在下列情況下,whether 不能被if 取代:
1. whether引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句并在句首
2. 引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句
3. whether從句作介詞賓語(yǔ)
4. 從句后有"or not"
大部分連接詞引導(dǎo)的主語(yǔ)從句都可以置于句末,用 it充當(dāng)形式主語(yǔ)。例如:
It is not important who will go. 誰(shuí)去,這不重要。
It is still unknown which team will win the match. 到底誰(shuí)贏呢,形勢(shì)尚不明朗。
