同位語從句
從句充當(dāng)同位語成分,起解釋說明作用
被解釋說明的詞和同位語在邏輯上是主語和表語關(guān)系

區(qū)分定語從句同位語從句
主語和同位語是主表關(guān)系,主從句間加is說得通就是同位語,不通是定語.
The news that he told me yesterday is true.
上句是定語從句, he told me是用來限定the news的。
That fact that you are late surpised everyone. You have never been late before. 你遲到的事實(shí)驚呆了所有人。以前從來不遲到。
The fact is you are late,說的通,所以是同位語。
