三、名词性从句：
在句子中充当主语、宾语、表语与同位语的句子分别叫做主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句， 这些统称为名词性从句。
(一)主语从句
在复合句中用作主语的从句叫主语从句。
A 为了强调主语从句的内容，可将从句置于句首
That you are leaving is a pity.
你要走，真遗憾。
What matters is how you live.
重要的是你如何生活。
Where he lives is not clear.
他住哪儿不清楚。
Who will stay makes no difference.
谁留下来都一样。
连词that引导的主语从句位于句首时，that不可以省，反意问句用it。

他手表丢了不是真的，是吗?

足球比赛是否举行将视天气而定。
B 大部分主语从句都可以用it作形式主语
为了保持句子平衡，主语从句常用it作形式主语，将主语从句后置。用it作形式主语的主语从句结构有如下几种：
1、It is + 名词 + that从句
It's a pity that we can't go.
很遗憾我们不能去。

C 使用虚拟语气的主语从句
在It is suggested, ordered, requested, insisted, etc. + that从句中，谓语部分用should + 动词原形，should常被省略。(详见第3章虚拟语气)
