注：根據
根據這種句型結構來看，這些that從句是作為主語補語的名詞從句，因為seem, appear等是一種系詞。根據句子內容來看，that從句所表達的是整個句子的主要內容。
1.“It is +過去分詞 +that從句”中的主語從句不可提前
2.“It+不及物動詞+that從句” 中的主語從句不可提前
3.含主語從句的復合句時疑問句時，主語從句不可提前
注：有時，that引導的主語從句只能放在主語的位置，而不能用it作形式主語，把真正的主語that從句后置，例如，張道真編著的《英語語法大全下(外語教學與研究出版社1998年8月第1版) P22: That he had succeeded pleased me very much. 就不能轉化為﹡It pleased me very much that he had succeeded.
