當一個子句充當句子的表語時,這個子句就叫做表語從句。如:
My idea is that he can teach children English in this school. 我的想法是他能夠在這所學校教孩子們英語。
My hope is that he will keep it a secret for ever. 我的希望是它將永遠保守秘密。
表語從句中應注意:
1. 連接詞that一般不能省略,但當主句中含動詞do的某種形式時,that可以省略。如:
What I want to do is (that) I can go up to him and thank him. 我想做的事是走到身邊去感謝他。
2. 當句子的主語是:advice, demand, decision, desire, idea, insistence, instruction, order, plan, proposal, recommendation, request, requirement, suggestion, wish等名詞時,表語從句須用虛擬語氣,即:should +do。如:
My advice is that you should go to apologize to him. 我的建議是你應該去向他道歉。
