判斷從句性質方法:
1.依據從句在句中的位置特點(尤其適用于名詞性從句及定語從句);
e.g. he said(v. 說) that he would come(來).
e.g. did you see the letter(n. 信) that i sent(寄) him?
2. 依據連接從句的連詞使用特點(e.g. because, although, though, before, after, until/till, lest, in order that, unless, as(so) long as, in case, however)
e.g. i do it because i like(喜歡) it. 我做這件事是因為我喜歡。
3. 依據從句的句子結構特點(如引導從句的連詞是否在從句中充當某個語法成分)
e.g. he said(v. 說) that he would come.
e.g. did you see the letter(n. 信) that i sent him?
e.g. he can run as fast(很快地) as i can.(as...as.../與...一樣地...)
4. 從句與主句在意義上的相互關系;
e.g. i met(預見) her while(在...期間) i was at school(在學校).
e.g. you like tennis(網球), while i'd rather(寧愿) read.
