说到从句，要分做好几部分来谈：
第一部分
从句（Subordinate Clause）是复合句里的一个句子成分。它不能独立成句，但它也有主语部分和谓语部分，就是句子一样。所不同的是，它必须由一个关联词（Connective）来引导。
从句要分，主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句、定语从句和状语从句6类。由于主语从句、表语从句，宾语从句以及同位语从句，在句子的功用相当于名词，故而这四种从句又通称名词性从句。
主语从句（Subject Clause）：用作主语的从句叫主语从句。引导主语从句的关联词有从属连词、疑问代词、疑问副词、缩合连接代词、缩合连接副词等。
表语从句（Predictive Clause）：用作表语的从句叫表语从句。引导表语从句的关联词与引导主语从句的关联词大都一样。
宾语从句（Object Clause）：用作宾语的从句叫宾语从句。引导表语从句的关联词与引导主语从句的关联词大都一样。
同位语从句（Appositive Clause）： 与先行词同位或等同的从句叫作同位语从句。其关联词多为that。
定语从句（Attributive Clause）：用作定语的从句叫定语从句。定语从句一般皆放在被它所修饰的名（代）词之后，这种名（代）词就叫作先行词（Antecedent）。引导定语从句的关联词为关系代词和关系副词。关系代词在定语从句中可用作主语、宾语、定语等；关系副词在定语从句中用作状语。
状语从句（Adverbial Clause）：用作状语的从句叫作状语从句。其关联词是一些从属连词。
第二部分
一 名词性从句:
1. 主要包括主语从句,宾语从句,表语从句和同位语从句. 一般由that 引起,也可由who, what, when, why, which, whom, whether, how 引起.

2. 主语从句很多情况下都可以放到句子后面,而用代词it作形式上的主语. 例如:

3. 形式宾语

5. whether and if 都能引导从句, 但用法有所不同. 当主语从句直接位于句首时,应用whether,而不用if. Whether 后能直接or not, 但if 不能.
Whether he will come or not is not known.
6. 在名词reason后的表语从句必须用that引导, 不可误用 because.

二: 定语从句
1. 引导定语从句的关系词有who, whom, whose, that, when, where, why and which. 在非限制定语从句中, 只可用which, who, whose, where , when., 如果指代前面整个句子, 多用which.

2. 当引导定语从句的先行词前有all, any, no, little, much, very first 等词, 或先行词前为形容词最高级所修饰时,或先行词为all, anything, nothing, something, everything 时,从句的引导词只能用that.
The on

3. as 可做引导词引导定语从句, 多和such, the same 连用. As 引导的定语从句也可修饰整个句子, 既可放在先行词后,也可放在句子开头.
