表語從句學習指要

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。
