名词性从句的引导词一般都不可省略。但在宾语从句中的that有时可以省略。
语法点一 主语从句 1.主语从句的连接词。主语从句通常由连词that和whether、连接代词或连接副词引导。
(1)that在句中无词义,只起连接作用,在口语和非正式文体中可以省略,但that从句位于句首时,连词that不能省略。
(2)连接代词和连接副词在句中既保留自己的疑问含义又起连接作用,在从句中充当成分。
That she was chosen made us very happy.
她被选上了,我们很高兴。
Whether they would support us was a problem.
他们是否会支持我们还是一个问题。
When the plane is to take off has not been announced.
飞机何时起飞还没有宣布。

①如果带主语从句的句子是疑问式,则须用it作形式主语。
②whether引导的主语从句既可放在句首也可放在句尾,但if引导的主语从句只能放在句尾,前面需用it作形式主语。whether/if只起连接作用,译成"是否",在从句中不作成分。
2.主语从句可以直接放在句首,有时为了平衡句子结构或表示强调,常用it作形式主语,而将从句放在后面。
It's certain that he will attend the party.
他肯定会来参加聚会。
It is clear what he meant.
他是什么意思很清楚。

语法点二 宾语从句 1.在句中起宾语作用的从句为宾语从句。宾语从句可分为三类:动词的宾语从句、介词的宾语从句和系表结构的宾语从句。

We are worrying about what we should do next.

2.宾语从句的引导词。宾语从句通常由连词that和whether(if)、连接代词或连接副词引导。that引导宾语从句在口语和非正式文体中可以省去,whether/if和wh类连接词引导的宾语从句都要用陈述句语序。
