名詞子句:that、wh-、if / whether
最後更新:2026-11-10|Lingokids 台灣(先鋒教育)編輯整理
名詞子句 = 把一個句子當名詞用。三種引導詞:that(I think that it's fun.)、疑問詞 wh-(I know where he lives.)、if / whether(I wonder if it will rain.)。重點:子句裡用直述句語序。
三種名詞子句
| 類型 | 引導詞意思 | 例句 | 重點 |
|---|---|---|---|
| that 子句 | 陳述一件事 | I think (that) she is nice. | that 當受詞時可省略 |
| wh- 子句 | who、what、where、when、why、how | I know what you want. | 疑問詞 + 主詞 + 動詞 |
| if / whether 子句 | 是否 | I wonder if he is home. | = 是不是… |

that 子句常搭配的動詞
think、know、believe、hope、say、feel:I hope (that) you like it. / Mom says (that) dinner is ready.
間接問句:語序要變回直述句
| 直接問句 | 間接問句(名詞子句) |
|---|---|
| Where does he live? | I don't know where he lives. |
| What is this? | Can you tell me what this is? |
| When will she come? | Do you know when she will come? |
| Is he a teacher? | I wonder if he is a teacher. |
記法:進到子句裡,不倒裝、不用 do / does / did。疑問詞見 5W1H 疑問詞;do / does 見 do / does 用法。
名詞子句在句子裡的位置
| 功能 | 例句 |
|---|---|
| 當受詞(最常見) | I know that you are tired. |
| 當主詞 | What he said is true. |
| 當補語 | The problem is that we are late. |
和形容詞子句的差別
名詞子句「當名詞」,拿掉後句子不完整;形容詞子句(關係子句)是修飾前面的名詞:the boy who lives next door。見 關係代名詞。

先會說,再懂規則
名詞子句是國小高年級到國中才會正式學的文法,但孩子其實很早就在句子裡聽過。幼兒階段透過遊戲、歌曲和故事大量接觸完整句子(例如 Lingokids 的互動遊戲與角色對話),之後學到規則時就會發現「原來我早就會說了」。更多文法見 英文文法入門。

常見問題
Q:名詞子句是什麼?
名詞子句是一個完整的句子放在大句子裡當名詞用,例如 I know that he is kind. 裡的 that he is kind 就是 know 的受詞。
Q:間接問句的語序怎麼排?
間接問句(wh- 名詞子句)要用直述句語序「疑問詞 + 主詞 + 動詞」:I don't know where he lives.(不是 where does he live)。
Q:that 什麼時候可以省略?
that 子句當受詞時,that 常可省略(I think (that) it's fun.);當主詞放句首時不能省略(That he won surprised us.)。
