賓語從句用法詳解(例句豐富)(下)
二、賓語從句與形式賓語it
當賓語從句后跟有賓語補足語時,通常在賓語從句處使用形式賓語it,而將真正的賓語從句移至句末:

三、連詞that的省略問題
引導賓語從句的連詞that 通常可以省略:

I promise you (that) I will be there. 我答應你我會去。
I hoped (that) I would / should succeed. 我曾希望我會成功。

【注】有時為了強調,that引導的賓語從句可位于句首,此時that不可省略:
That she is a good girl I know. 她是一個好姑娘,我是知道的。
四、賓語從句與否定轉移
當動詞think, believe, suppose, expect, imagine 后接一個表示否定意義的賓語從句時,其否定通常轉移到主語:
I don’t suppose that it is true. 我認為那不是真的。
I don’t imagine that he will come. 我想他不會來的。(from www.yygrammar.com)
