本次英语语法专题我们学习“表语从句”,具体内容如下:
在句中作表语的从句称为表语从句。能引导宾语从句的连接词皆可引导表语从句。可以引导宾语从句的连接词主要有that类,whether类,wh-类,as/as if/as though类,because类。
一、that类表语从句

简单地说,他们的突破在于:当他们的搜索引擎在网上搜索时,不仅仅是寻找相匹配的词语。
例句:The reason for his absence is that his daughter suddenly fell ill.
他缺席的原因时他的女儿突然病了。
注意!主语是表示“计划、建议、要求、命令”的词,如suggestion,advice,order,demand等时,表语从句的谓语动词常用“should+动词原形”,should可以省略。
例句:My advice is that you (should) think it over before you make a decision.
我的建议就是你作出决定之前要三思。
It seems/appears that...句式,有人认为that引导的是主语从句,有人认为是表语从句。

玛丽似乎不会来参加聚会。
例句:It seems to me that we should answer for this.
在我看来,我们似乎应该对此事负责。
