it做形式主语that引导真正的主语从句,这里的that可以省略吗?例如:
It is important that he will attend the meeting.
这句话可以省略that吗? 什么情况下可以省什么情况下不能省呢?
that引导名词性从句时是连接词,本身没有意义,也不作任何语法成分,所以引导宾语从句时常可省略(某些句式除外)。在引导主语从句、表语从句或同位语从句时,that通常不省略,但要注意以下情况:
1. 主语从句位于句首时,引导词that不省略;但若用形式主语it,而将主语从句位于句尾,that可以省略。例如:
It's a pity she can't attend the reception. 她不能参加招待会,真是遗憾。《美国传统英汉双解词典》
2. 引导表语从句或同位语从句的that在口语或非正式英语中有时可以省略。例如:
Clearly that's an approximation, but my guess is there'll be a reasonable balance. 很明显那是个粗略的估计,但我猜会有一笔不少的余额。《柯林斯高阶英汉双解词典》
The fact we didn't win when we were so close is very disappointing.我们如此接近的时候却没有赢,这令人非常失望。《朗文当代英语词典》

【答】it做形式主语,真正主语是that引导的主语从句时,that可以省略。
《薄冰英语惯用法词典》指出:“在有 it 作形式主语或形式宾语,that 引导真正主语或真正宾语时,连词 that 常省略。例如:It seems (that) Mr. White is heavily in debt. 怀特先生似乎负债累累。/ I think it a pity (that) he can't swim. 我认为他不会游泳是件遗憾的事。/ We consider it true (that) the work is now in progress. 工作正在进行中,我们认为这是真的。”
It is important (that) he will attend the meeting.
