English grammar: What is a predicative clause?
Predicative clauses use a sentence as the predicate. Explain what or how the subject is, and nouns, adjectives or words or phrases equivalent to nouns or adjectives act as predications.
First, the definition of predicative clauses:
Predicative clauses are placed after conjunctions and act as predicates in complex sentences.
Second, the composition of predicative clauses:
Related words+simple sentences
Third, the types of related words that guide predicative clauses:
1. The connecting verbs that can be connected with predicative clauses are be, look, seem, sound, append, etc.
China is no longer the China it used to be.
Today's China is not the China it used to be.
The question remains whether they can help us.
The question is whether they can help us.
I couldn't seem to think of the right words at that time.
I couldn't seem to think of a suitable word at that time.
2. Predicative clauses guided by subordinate conjunctions, such as as, if/through.
He looks the same as he did ten years ago.
He still looks the same as ten years ago.
It sounds as if someone is knocking at the door.
It sounds as if someone is knocking at the door.
3. Predicative clauses guided by 3. Because, why.
That's because he doesn't understand me.
That's because … he doesn't understand me.
That's why he is angry with me.
That's why ... he's angry with me.
When the subject clause led by what or noun reason is the subject, the predicative clause behind it should be led by that, not because.
