名词性从句
在主从复合句中,从句可以充当主句的主语、表语、宾语或同位语。由于在多数情况下,主语、表语、宾语或同位语这四种句子成分由名词性词类充当,所以,我们把这些作用相当于名词的从句统称为名词性从句,把充当主语、表语、宾语或同位语的从句分别称为主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句或同位语从句。也就是说充当什么成分就叫什么从句。名词性从句由连接词(或关联词)引导。
常用的连接词有:
连接词 |
作用 |
whether是否 that(本身无词义) |
只起连接词作用,引导从句,在从句中不作任何成分 在从句中分别作主语、宾语和定语 |
who,whom,whose which哪一个 what什么,所…的 |
在从句中分别作主语、宾语和定语 在从句中分别作主语、宾语和定语 除了起连接词作用外,还在从句中作状语 |
when什么时候,where什么地方 how怎样,怎么,why为什么 |
|
它们的特点是:1、疑问词有本身的词义;2、疑问词在从句中担当句子成分,如主语、宾语或状语;3、这种疑问词引导的从句一律用陈述语序,不能用疑问语序。
