that 从句在被用作疑问句时的位置

老师好。我读到这样一句话: Mrs  Kriegel said : “We can't tell you how badly it hurts ”that she is no longer alive. 句子中的it应该是形式主语,指的that she is...我曾在这里听老师教导过,倘若用不定式提问时,必须将不定式后置,it形式主语提前。于是,看到这个句子,我也感到好奇: 倘若用that 名词从句提问时,是否可以省略 it ,将 that......前置呢,即 we cant tell you how badly that she is ......hurts. 谢谢老师。

答疑网确实提醒过网友,当不定式、疑问分句、that从句作主语并位于句首主语位置,如果改为问句需要倒装时,必须采用外置主语结构,用it作形式主语。例如:

To study hard is important.

Who did it is not important.

That he did it is obvious.

以上三句改为一般疑问句需要倒装时,必须采用形式主语结构,真正主语外置:

Is it important to study hard?

Is it important who did it?

Is is obvious that he did it?

你的句子中how badly引导的是间接疑问句,不需要倒装,但由于how badly必须前置引导问句,如果不采用外置结构,则how badly距离它所修饰的动词hurts太远,容易导致误解,所以为了疑问分句本身的结构平衡和避免误解,改分句还是应该采用外置主语结构。

试比较二种结构:

We can't tell you how badly it hurts that she is no longer alive. (正)

We can't tell you how badly that she is no longer alive hurts. (误)

We you she it that 一句话里面这么代词,最好给出上下文,要不然很容易误读。
