whose的主语可以是物吗


我们需要了解主语从句的概念及其用法,这是理解后续内容的基础。

主语从句是复合句中的一种,即在复合句中充当主语成分的句子。例如:“That the moon travels around the earth once every month is known to everyone.”这句话中,“That the moon travels around the earth once every month”就是主语从句,描述的是大家都知道的事实。

引导主语从句的连词有很多种,包括从属连词如“that”、“whether”、“if”,连接代词如“who”、“whom”、“whose”、“what”、“which”,以及连接副词如“when”、“where”、“why”等。

当主语从句过长时,我们通常会使用形式主语“it”来避免句子头重脚轻。例如:“It is true that he has made a very important discovery in chemistry.”在这里,“it”是形式主语,“that he has made a very important discovery in chemistry”是真正的主语。

关于使用it作为形式主语的常用句型有很多种,包括“It is + 名词/形容词 + that从句”。例如:“It is a fact that...”,“It is likely that...”,“It seems that...”等等。同时也要注意,在特定句型中,如“It is necessary/important+that从句”中,从句的谓语常用“should+动词原形”。

还有一些特殊的句式结构,如“It+特殊动词+that从句(或主语从句)”。例如:“It seems to me that you don't like the idea.”这里的“seems to me”引导的是插入语,“that you don't like the idea”则是真正的主语。又如:“It really matters that you have won the game.”其中,“it really matters”表示这件事很重要。最后还有一个常见的句式结构是:“(it) matter if/whether……”,意为“……有关系(重要)”。比如:“Does it matter if an engineer is a man or a woman?”这句话是在询问工程师的性别是否重要。《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》是一本权威的英语词典,其中涵盖了大量的英语知识和用法解析。
