◆宾语从句和表语从句的区分:既然宾语从句和表语从句在形式上都是"动词 从属连词 句子",那么如何进行区分呢?区分宾语从句和表语从句的标志在于从句前的动词是否属于系动词:如果是系动词,那么该从句是表语从句;如果不是系动词,那么该从句则是宾语从句。系动词包括:全系动词(be)和半系动词(seem, appear, look, feel, smell,sound, taste, keep, remain, stay, become, go, turn, come, run, get, fall, grow, prove, turn out)。不过在阅读过程中,学生即便不知道系动词有哪些也不影响理解,所以对于系动词的记忆,学生无需有意识记忆。
