表语从句
1． 定义：用作表语的从句叫做表语从句。 2． 关联词
(1) 从属连词that。在从句中不做成分。如：

(2) 从属连词whether, as, as if。如：
1. He looked just as he had looked ten years before. 他看起来还与十年前一样。
2. The question is whether they will be able to help us. 问题是他们是否能帮我们。
注：从属连词if一般不用来引导表语从句，但as if却可引导表语从句，如： All this was over twenty years ago, but it’s as if it was only yesterday. 这都是20多年前的事了，但宛如昨天一样。
The key is whether we can solve the problem.。 It looked as if it was going to rain.
注：能跟表语从句的谓语动词一般为系动词be, seem, look，sound等。如： He looked just as he had looked ten years before. 他看起来还与十年前一样。
造句：听起来好像有人在敲门。
It sounds as if someone is knocking at the door.
(3) 连接代词who, whom, whose, what, which, whoever, whatever, whichever 在
表语从句中做主语、宾语等。如：The problem is who we can get to replace her. 问题是我们能找到谁去替换她呢。

造句： 问题是我们能找到谁去替换她呢。 The problem is who we can get to replace her.

(6) 在一些表示“建议、劝说、命令”的名词后面的表语从句中，谓语动词用虚拟语气。should+动词原形表示，should可省略。如：
My suggestion is that we (should) start early tomorrow. 我的建议是我们明天一早就出发。 系动词分类：
一、根据系动词后所跟结构，我们可以把英语系动词分为两大类：完全系动词（其后只能跟表语的动词，如be, seem）和半系动词（其后既可跟表语作系动词用法，也可跟宾语或状语作实义动词用，如look）
例如：1） He looked sadly at the boy.(“看着”，实义动词用法) He looks a clever boy .（“看起来”，系动词用法） 2） He looks at a clever boy.（“看着”，实义动词用法） 在英语中，某一动词是多义词，既有实义动词用法，又有系动词用法。 二、根据系动词的意义，我们把英语系动词分为四类：
A．五大感官系动词 B．状态系动词C．动态系动词 D．双谓语系动词 A．五大感官系动词，描述一种感官性质。由实义感官动词变化而来，都是半系动词。
