同位语从句1. 概念:

在复合句中作名词的同位语的名词性从句。 2. 功能: 同位语从句对名词进一步解释， 说明名词的具体内容。

3. 用法: 常跟有一定内容的抽象名词连用:

fact/ idea/reason/ thought/order/doubt/news/hope/ truth/belief …

4.关系词从属连词：that/whether

连接代词：who/ which/ what连接副词：when /where/why/how

同位语从句与定语从句区别:1. 先行词有区别同位语从句：有一定内涵的特定名词， 定语从句：可以是名词,代词,或是整个句 子。

He told me the news that he wouldcome home from aboard soon.(同位语从句)

Our team has won the game, whichmade us very happy.我们的队赢了, 这让我们很高兴。(定语从句)

2.作用有区别同位语从句:是从句对前面抽象名词 内容上进一步的说明和解释,属于

名词性从句的范畴，定语从句:对先行词的修饰或限制,属

于形容词性从句的范畴;

The news that our team has won the game was true.我们队赢了那场比赛的消息是真的。 (同位语从句, 补充说明news到底是一个什么消 息 )

The news that he told me yesterday was true.昨天他告诉我的那个消息是真的。(定语从句, news在从句中作told的宾语 引导词代替前面的先行词。that =the news )

3. 引导词及其成分有区别 1)how, whether, what 可以引 导同位语从句, 但不能引导定语从 句。 如: That question whether we need it has not been considered. 我们是否需要它这个问题还没 有考虑。 (同位语从句)

2)引导词that有区别：

同位语从句：仅起连接作用, 不充当任何成分, 并且不能省略, 也不能用which来代替，

定语从句：作主语或宾语 (指物时还可以用which代替), 并且作宾语时常常省略，

The order that we should send a

few people to help the other groupswas received yesterday. 我们应派几个人去帮别的几个小 组的命令昨天收到了。 (同位语从句, 是对order的具体解 释, that虽不作成分, 但不能省略)

The order that we received yesterday was that we should send a few people to help the other groups.我们昨天收到的命令是我们应该派几个 人去帮助别的几个小组。 (定语从句, 是名词order的修饰语, that 在从句中作received的宾语, 可以省略)
