一般情況下作從屬連詞引導名詞性從句，從句可以用現(xiàn)在分詞做主語，謂語用三單。引導名詞性從句，狀語從句和強調(diào)句。
1.that名詞性從句
①引導賓語從句。及物動詞后的引導詞that可省略。
I didn't expect (that) he could win the championship.
The teacher pointed out that Tom was not working hard enough.
②引導主語從句。通常采用it作形式主語的句型。
That the earth goes around the sun is known to everyone.
（It is known to everyone that the earth goes around the sun.）
③引導表語從句。
The trouble is that we are short of money.
④引導同位語從句。
引導同位語從句的that和引導定語從句的that是不同的。前者只起語法作用，在從句中不作任何成分；而后者在定語從句中作主語、賓語或表語。舉例說明：
The news that he resigned from office surprised us.
The idea that he holds is very common nowadays on campus.
2.that引導狀語從句
①引導目的狀語從句。

②引導結(jié)果狀語從句。

③引導原因狀語從句。

④引導讓步狀語從句。意為“雖然、盡管”。

⑤引導條件狀語從句。意為“假使、假設(shè)”。
