表语从句和其他英语中的从句一样，有很多不同含义和不同用法的引导词，下面，小编就来为大家讲解一下表语从句的引导词：

1.从属连词：that / whether /as if /as though/as/because

(1) that引导表语从句本身没有词义，在句中只起连接作用，不充当句子成分，一般不能省略。

That fact is that more than seventy percent of the earth’s surface is covered by water.

连接词that一般不能省略，但当主句中含动词do的某种形式时，that可以省略。

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边去感谢他。

(2) whether引导表语从句表示“是否”,但不充当句子的成分。

The question is whether we can finish our work by tomorrow evening.

if 与whether均意为“是否”，但引导表语从句时，只能用whether, 不能用if。

(3)as if/though“好像”，引导表语从句时要注意语态.

如果句中的情况与事实不相符，从句多用虚拟语气。如果从句表示与现在事实相反,谓语动词用一般过去式；如果从句表示与过去事实相反时,谓语动词要用“had + 过去分词”，如果从句表示将来的可能性不大，用would (might ,could )+动词原形.

Li Lei is now in a new jacket. He looks as if he were an American boy. (现在事实相反)

The girl is giving us a vivid description of the moon. It seems as if she had been to the moon many times. （与过去事实相反）

It looks as if it might rain. （与将来事实相反）

但是，如果as if/though引导的表语从句所表示的与事实相符，从句则用陈述语气。

The clouds are gathering. It looks as if is going to rain.

(4) as引导表语从句

He looked just as he had looked ten years before.

他看起来还与十年前一样。

(5) because引导表语从句

常用结构：This/That/It is/was because····

That is because I don’t like Chinese.

2.连接代词：who/whom/whose/what/which/whoever/whatever/whichever/whomever，在表语从句中做主语、宾语、表语和定语。

Tom is no longer what he used to be. (what做表语)

The problem is who is fit for this job. (who做主语)

This is what I want to tell you. (what做宾语)

The problem is whose work is the best. (whose做定语)

3.连接副词：when/where/how/why，在表语从句中做状语。

The question is how he did it.         问题是他是如何做此事的。

The question is where we can live.     问题是我们能住在哪儿。
