2)表语从句
在句中作表语的从句叫表语从句。
引导表语从句的关联词与引导主语从句的关联词大致一样,表语从句位于连系动词之后,有时用as if引导。例如:
The problem is who can get there to take the place of Ben.
The fact remains that we are far behind the developed countries in science and technology.
That is how he managed to overcome the difficulties.
The cause is that the temperature of water is lower than needed.
The village is no longer what it used to be ten years ago.
The point is not who will go,but who will stay.
