But when I tried to step forward, I found I was carried twice as far as on the earth and fell over.(P31)

主語(yǔ)從句
主語(yǔ)從句
用作主語(yǔ)的從句稱為主語(yǔ)從句(Subject Clause)。引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句的連接詞主要有三類:
(1)連詞that, whether等;
(2)連接代詞what, who, whose, whatever, whichever, whoever等;
(3)連接副詞when, where, why, how等。
①That she could come to help us made us very happy.
她能來(lái)幫我們,這使得我們很高興。
②Where the English evening will be held hasn't been decided.
英語(yǔ)晚會(huì)將在哪里舉行,還沒(méi)有決定下來(lái)。
③Whatever you do in your spare time should do no harm to others.
無(wú)論你在業(yè)余時(shí)間做什么都不應(yīng)傷害他人。
主語(yǔ)從句能用it作形式上的主語(yǔ)
由于主語(yǔ)從句太長(zhǎng),為了避免頭重腳輕,常常用it作形式主語(yǔ),而把主語(yǔ)從句放在句末。比較常見(jiàn)的句型有:
(1)It+be+形容詞(important, likely, possible, clear等)+主語(yǔ)從句;
(2)It+be+名詞(fact, idea, mystery, pity, pleasure, wonder等)+主語(yǔ)從句;
(3)It+be+過(guò)去分詞(known, said, reported, suggested等)+主語(yǔ)從句;
(4)It+特殊動(dòng)詞(appear, seem, happen等)+主語(yǔ)從句。
④It is obvious to the students that they should get well prepared for their future.
