英语写作中的从句之一:名词性从句
1. 常见名词性从句的分类:That the earth is round is a fact. (从句作主语—主语从句)
I don’t know if he needs my help. (从句作宾语—宾语从句)
The point is whose book is the most interesting.(从句在be 动词后—表语从句)
I have no idea who he is. (从句做同位语—同位语从句)
注:同位语从句前面的名词多为fact, reason, idea, problem, question, conclusion等抽象名词。
2. 使用主语从句注意主谓一致问题
1) 单个名词性从句做主语时,其后的动词通常用单数。
2) 两个由and 连接的并列名词性分句作主语,如果主语表示两件事情,动词用复数。
What caused the accident and who was responsible for it remain a mystery to
us.
3) 在以what-分句作主语结构中,如果be 动词后面是复数名词,谓语动词用复数形式。
What caused the accident is a complete mystery.
What was real to him were the details of his life.
4) 如果what-分句本身明显表示复数意义,谓语动词用复数。
What are often known as best-seller books are not really interesting for
everyone.
