That可以引導名詞性從句,狀語從句和強調句。
It was exactly what I needed是表語從句,是"主句+表語從句"構成的主從復合句,其中表語是由"what"引導的是表語從句來充當.這裏"it" 作代詞,當然"it"也可替代後面的名詞從句放在句首作形式主語,但這裏卻不成。
that名詞性從句。
①引導賓語從句。及物動詞後的引導詞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;而後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.
