人称代词格的处理

  1. 作表语时

    Is it Mary? Yes, it is she.
    It’s she, the one whom nobody likes.
    I think it is I who should ask your forgiveness.
    Is this Joe? It is I.

  • 后接 that 或 who 从句时可用主格,也可用宾格

    Nature never deceives us; it is always us who deceive ourselves.

  • 但在日常口语中,大家往往用宾格
    Open the door please. It’s me.
    If I were him, I would take your advice.

  1. 作补语时
    与 to be 前的名词或代词同格,即当 A 是 B 时,A 和 B 同格
    I was taken to be she.
    He took me to be her.

  2. 在 but 后代词的格

    Everyone lost faith in the plan but me.

  3. 在 than 与 as 后可用主格,也可用宾格

    He likes Mary better than I (like mary).
    He likes Mary better than (he likes) me.

  2. 形式主语
    为避免头重脚轻,由 it 作形式主语,把主语从句放到句末

      It is strange that he knows nothing about it.

    • It + be + 名词 + that 从句

同位语从句

两个成分处于相同地位,起修饰作用的叫同位语

Playing football, his only interest in life, has brought him many friends.

有时也可以置于本位语前

    主语(本位语) + 谓语 + 同位语从句
    An idea occurred to him that he might do the experiment in another way.
    The rumour spread that a new school would be built here.

  4. 本位语是 advice, proposal, request, suggestion 等祈使对方怎么做的动作名词,同位语从句谓语要虚拟语气
    The suggestion came from the chairperson that the rule (should) be adopted.

同位语从句和定语从句的区别

  1. 从意义看

    • 定语从句是形容词从句,对名词加以修饰和限定

    It is a fact that she has done her best.
    It is a fact that you can’t deny.

  2. 从结构看

    • 同位语从句常由 that 引导,虽然不充当成分,但也不可省略

    The news that our team has won the game is really encouraging.
    The news (that) he told me is really encouraging.

宾语从句及形式宾语

宾语从句在句中作及物动词或介词的宾语
