I.Subject clauses 主语从句：一个句子来充当主语 Subject clauses can be introduced by that, whether or question words. 1. That he will succeed is certain. 2. What he said is not true. 3. Whether he will go there is not known.

２ _______ he will succeed is certain. 1______ you said yesterday is right.What That

When introducing the subject clause, that carries no meaning. What is usually used as the subject or object in the clause.

1. It is certain that he will succeed. 2. It is not known whether he will go there. 3. It has not been decided yet when they’ll start the project. “It” used as preparatory subject.

We often use it as a preparatory subject and the subject clause is put at the end of the sentence. In this case, the sentence is better balanced. 为了保持句子的平衡，主语从句中 常可以用形式主语 it 。

2. They want to make it clear that historic sites are an important part of a nation’s culture. Tip 2: Preparatory it is used when there is an object complement. 当宾语从句后有形容词或名词作宾补 时，要用形式宾语 it
