此外，表語從句還可由as if (好像)引導。如：

　　Now let’s do some translation:

　　我想知道的是，他是如何在這么短的時間內完成這個項目的。

　　What I want to know is how he managed to complete the project in such a short time.

　　形容詞后的that 從句

　　that 引導的名詞性從句還可以用在一些形容詞后面。這種句型一般都用人作主語，所用的形容詞都是表示思想狀況或感情色彩的形容詞，如certain, sure, positive, afraid, convinced, anxious, disappointed, worried, glad, happy, sorry, amazed, surprised, aware, doubtful, confident等等。如：

　　I am sure/certain that he’s at home now. 我肯定他現在在家。

　　what 從句的小結
