主语从句讲解及练习

1、主语从句讲解及练习主语从句一、概述：在句子中起名词作用的各种从句统称为名词性从句。根据它们在句中的语法作用，这类从句又可分为主语从句、同位语从句、表语从句和宾语从句。  二.主语从句主要有三类：（1） 由连词that引导的主语从句:引导词that无含义,在句中不做成分,不可以省。例如：That you will win the medal seems unlikely.你想获得奖牌看起来是不可能的。That you are so indifferent bothers me. 你如此冷淡使我很烦恼。 That she survived the accident is a miracl
