有时为了考虑句子平衡，通常在主语从句处使用形式主语it，而将真正的主语从句移至句末。这分四种情况：
(1) 对于以连词that引导的主语从句，通常用形式主语it替代主语从句：
(2) 对于以连接代词(副词)引导的主语从句，可以使用形式主语代主语从句，也可直接在句首使用主语从句：
(3) 对关系代词型what引导的主语从句，通常直接将主语从句放在句首。如：
(4) 如果句子是疑问句，则必须用带形式主语it的结构.

鲸鱼不是鱼，这是一个常识。

It is +过去分词+从句

类似的过去分词还有：known; estimated; expected; believed; thought; hoped; noted; discussed; required; decided; suggested; demanded; made clear; found out,等

1-2○用连接代词引导的主语从句
对于以连接代词(副词)引导的主语从句，
可以使用形式主语代主语从句，
也可直接在句首使用主语从句：
例如
Whether they would support us was a problem.
他们是否会支持我们还是一个问题。
It was a problem whether they would support us.
他们是否会支持我们还是一个问题。
1-3○关系代词型what引导的主语从句
对关系代词型what引导的主语从句，通常直接将主语从句放在句首。

Is it true that he is the girl’s father?
他是那女孩的父亲，是真的吗？
How is it that you are late again?
你怎么又迟到了？
连词that的省略问题
引导主语从句的连词that有时可省有时不能省，其原则是：若that引导的主语从句直接位于句首，则that不能省略；
若that引导的主语从句位于句末，而在句首使用了形式主语it，则that可以省略：
例如：
That you didn’t go to the talk was a pity.
很遗憾你没去听报告。(that不可省)
It was a pity (that) you didn’t go to the talk.
很遗憾你没去听报告。(that可省)
