什么是表语从句
表语是英语区别于汉语所特有的一种词类,是起表述作用的句子成分,它常位于系动词之后,用来说明主语的身份、性质、品性、特征和状态。表语必须和系动词一起构成系表结构,作为句子的复合谓语。表语通常由名词、形容词、介词短语、不定式、形容词化的现在分词或过去分词以及从句来充当。
例:
1、Africa is a big continent.(名词作表语)
2、Our next step was to prepare raw materials.(不定式作表语)
3、The patient is in danger.(介词短语作表语)
4、Who's your best friend?(代词作表语)
5、He is old but he is healthy.(形容词作表语)

表语从句:表语从句位于主句系动词之后,可分为两类:be+that型从句和be+疑问词型从句。
1、be+that型从句
例:The fact is that we have no idea to solve this problem.事实就是我们没办法解决这个问题。
The reality is that the party must be cancelled because of the storm.现实就是因为暴风雨这个聚会必须得取消了。
2、be+疑问词型从句
例:The question is whether they will help us.问题是他们会不会帮我们。
The problem is why she didn't go back home directly.麻烦就麻烦在为什么她没直接回家。
3、表语从句使用陈述语序。
例:The question is when he can arrive at the hotel.问题是他什么时候能到酒店。
高中英语差的很怎样才能补起来
表语从句是用一个句子作为表语,说明主语是什么,由名词、形容词或相当于名词或形容词的词或短语充当表语。结构一般为:主语+连系动词+句子作表语(表语从句)。
连接表语从句的连接词有:that, what, who, when, where, which, why, whether, how, whoever,whichever ,whatever等。还有如because, as if, as though等。
表语成分
表语是用来说明主语的身份、性质、品性、特征和状态的,表语常由名词、形容词、副词、介词短语、不定式、动词的-ing、从句来充当,它常位于系动词(be, become, appear, seem,look,sound,feel,get,smell等词)之后。如果句子的表语也是由一个句子充当的,那么这个充当表语的句子就叫做表语从句。

表语从句常用句型
名词性从句在be等系动词后作表语时被称为表语从句, 例如: The problem is how we can get the things we need.问题是我们怎样能弄到我们需要的东西。(how 在表语从句中充当方式状语)// The scissors are not what I need. 这把剪刀不是我所需要的。(what 在表语从句中充当宾语)// What I told him was that I would find him a good play. 我告诉他的是我会给他找个好剧本。(what在主语从句中作直接宾语, that作为表语从句的引导词在该表语从句中不充当句子成分, 不能省略)// That is what I want to tell you.那就是我想要对你讲的。(what在表语从句中充当直接宾语)// That is why she failed to pass the exam. 那就是她考试不及格的原因。(why 在表语从句中充当原因状语)
注意: “That is why...”是常用句型, 意为“这就是……的原因/因此……”, 其中why引导的名词性从句在句中作表语, 该句型通常用于针对前面已经说明过的原因进行总结, 又如: That is why you see this old woman before you know, Jeanne. 珍妮, 这就是现在这个老太婆出现在你面前的原因。(前文提到Jeanne对老妇人显得苍老憔悴深感诧异, 说话人对她讲述了其中的原因之后,用这一句来进行概括)。// That is why I came. 这就是我来的原因。
下面是两个与“That is why...”形式相似的结构, 它们与“That is why...”结构之间的关系要能够辨析清楚:
(1)“That is why...”与“That is the reason why...”同义, 只不过从语法结构上讲, “That is the reason why...”中why引导的是—个定语从句, 将其中的the reason去掉则与“That is why...”结构一样, 例如:
That is (the reason) why I cannot agree. 这就是我不能同意的理由。
(2)“That is because...”句型中从属连词because引导的名词性从句在此作表语, 这也是个常用句型, 意为“这就是为什么……/因为……”。“That is because...”与“That is why...”之间的不同在于“That is because...”指原因或理由, “That is why...”则指由于各种原因所造成的后果, 例如:
He did not see the film last night. That is because he had to help his little sister with her homework.昨天晚上他没有去看电影, 那是因为他得帮助他的妹妹做作业。(第一句话说明结果, 第二句话说明原因)
He had seen the film before. That is why he did not see it last night.他以前曾看过那部电影, 因此他昨天晚上没有去看。(第一句话说明原因, 第二句话说明结果)

表语从句的用法
表语(predicative)它是放在连系动词之后表示主语的身分或特征的,如I am a student(我是一个学生)中的student;Our classroom is clean(我们的教室很干净)中的clean
表语:名词、代词和形容词
His father is a doctor.他父亲是个医生。(名词doctor作表语
句(clause)内含主语部分和谓语部分,表达一定的概念,但不成为一个独立句子的一组词,叫做从句。从句在句子里可以作为一个句子成分,一般由连词、关
系代词或关系副词所引导。
从句在句中可用作主语、表语、宾语、定语、状语等句子成分;
a)主语从句(subject clause)如What I want to say is this(我要说的是这么一点)中的what I want to say。
b)表语从句(predicative clause)如This is what I want to say(这是我要说的)中的what I want to say。
c)宾语从句(object clause)如I have said what I want to say(我说完了我要说的话)中的what I want to say。
d)定语从句(attributive clause)如This is the thing I want to say(这就是我要说的)中的I want to say。
状语从句(adverbial clause)如If you want to say something,say it clearly(假如你要说什么,就应说清楚)中的if you want to say something。
句子(sentence)内含主语部分和谓语部分,有比较完整的意义的一组词,叫做句子。
表语的位置 在连系动词之后。如:
It's fine today.今天天气很好。
