一、主语从句(subject clause)
1. 在复合句中充当主语的从句称之为主语从句, 一般置于句首。
主语从句引导词有:
(1)连词that和whether, 在主语从句中只起连接作用, 不充当任何成分。
(2)连接代词who, whoever, whom, whose, what, whatever, which, whichever, 在主语从句中充当主语、宾语、表语。
(3)连接副词when, where, how, why, 在主语从句中作状语。

(1)It is a (fact, pity, question, wonder, good thing, surprise ) that. . .
