一、引導(dǎo)名詞性從句

即引導(dǎo)主語從句、賓語從句、表語從句和同位語從句，that沒有任何意義，也不作任何句子成分，只起引導(dǎo)作用。

1. 引導(dǎo)主語從句

由于中英語言文化的差異，漢語沒有主語從句。如，“英語很重要不是人人都認(rèn)同的。”漢語語法認(rèn)為，“英語很重要”是主位詞組做句子的主語。而英語句子“That English is of vital importance is not acknowledged by all.”中，That English is of vital importance是主語從句。雖然that沒有任何意義，也不作任何句子成分，只起引導(dǎo)作用，但是卻不能省略。如：

That English teacher can speak fluent English is a fundamental requirement.

2. 引導(dǎo)賓語從句

引導(dǎo)賓語從句的that一般可以省略，但在以下六種情況下，一般不能省略。

（1）兩個(gè)以上的賓語從句并列時(shí)，從第二個(gè)從句開始，that 不能省略。如：

Jack was informed（that）he had been enrolled in Sun Yat-sen University，and that he should register by August.

（2）介詞后引導(dǎo)賓語從句的that 不能省略。如：

His parents expected him nothing but/except that he can make a living by himself after graduation.

（3）主句的謂語動(dòng)詞與that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句之間有插入語時(shí)，that不可省略。如：

The head teacher told Jack， after a short hesitation， that he could have a day off on condition that he could make up for the missing lessons.

（4）形容詞后引導(dǎo)賓語從句的that一般不省略。如：

Marys parents are very content that their daughter has made such great progress in the final examination.

（5）在 it（形式賓語）+ adj.（補(bǔ)足語）+ that（賓語從句）結(jié)構(gòu)中， that不能省略。如：

Everyone believes it strange that he could pass the driving test.

（6）在直接引語中，that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句與主句隔開時(shí)，that不能省略。如：

“Im sorry to say，” he said， “that you are not the suitable person for the work.”

3. 引導(dǎo)表語從句

表語從句位于連系動(dòng)詞后，引導(dǎo)表語從句的that一般不能省略。如：

My advice is that everyone be punctual for the appointment.

特別注意：下列句式中的that一般不能用because代替。

The reason why he was late for school is that he missed the early bus.

4. 引導(dǎo)同位從句

同位語從句就是在news， information， fact， word， idea等抽象名詞之后，說明其具體內(nèi)容的從句。引導(dǎo)同位語從句的that一般不能省略。如：

Based on the fact that you are enthusiastic about Chinese culture， Im writing to invite you to get involved in it.

二、引導(dǎo)定語從句

that常被用來代替關(guān)系代詞which或who，引導(dǎo)定語從句。以下幾種情況，多用that而不用which或who。

1. 當(dāng)先行詞是表示事物的all， any， anything， everything， nothing或被all， any， every等修飾時(shí)。如：

Do you have anything that you are puzzled with？

All that can be done must be done.

2. 當(dāng)先行詞被形容詞的最高級(jí)或序數(shù)詞修飾時(shí)。如：

It is one of the most touching movies that have been shown this month.

The first thing that we should do is to get some food.

3. 當(dāng)先行詞有the only， the very， the same， the last 等修飾時(shí)。如：

The only thing that is impressive is his unforgettable experience in Beijing.

4. 當(dāng)主句以who或which開頭的疑問句時(shí)。如：

Who is the girl that is delivering a speech over there？

5. 當(dāng)先行詞既有人又有物時(shí)。如：

The writer and his novel that you have just talked about are really well known.

三、引導(dǎo)狀語從句

1. that 可引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句和結(jié)果狀語從句，that一般不省略。如：

The story is so touching that we will bear in our mind for a long period.

An English Speech Contest will be organized so that/ in order that students can improve their oral English.

四、用作替代詞

My seat is next to that of Marys.

The temperature in Guangdong is higher than that in Beijing.

五、用作副詞

Thanks for your encouragement， but actually my handwriting isnt that beautiful.

六、 用在強(qiáng)調(diào)句型中

It was what you said that sparked his motivation to work hard.

七、用在一些成語中

1. like that 像這樣

Do you usually speak to your parents like that？

2. Thats it. 說對(duì)了。

Thats it. Youve described exactly what I felt about the film.

3. Thatthat. 情況就是如此。
