The book is popular.(the book是主语;is是系动词;popular是表语)
The book that Mr.black wrote it is popular.
(is是系动词,popular是表语;主语是受欢迎的,那么这个句子中主语就是Mr.black写的这本书。)
The earth is round.That the earth is round is known to all.(be known to 为…所熟知)
(that the earth is round 为起主语作用的从句)
that 引导主语从句,在从句中不作任何成分,无词汇意义。
That 引导主语从句位于句首:That she cheats on you is for sure.(cheat on 对某人不忠实,作弊)
句子中用形式主语it代替,that从句位于句末。
It+系动词+形容词/名词/动词+that 从句:it is obvious that we have made it.(make it 成功)

【小tip】
在It作形式主语时,下列示例从句that中有should,则should可以省略。it is+necessary/important/surprising/strange/unthinkable/unbelievable/incredible+that从句(should do)should可以省略。
It is suggested/advised/ordered/requested/required/insisted/demanded/that从句(should do)should可以省略

Whether引导主语从句位于句首。

【小tip】
若翻译为是否,whether和if均可以表达。但是if不可以引导位于句首的主语从句,如果用It作形式主语,置于后面的从句可以用If引导。
It is uncertain that whether/if he will pass the exam.
连接词引导主语从句:连接代词和连接副词均可。
连接代词:who/whom/whose/what/whoever/whomever/whosever/whatever等。
连接副词:when/where/how/why/whenever/wherever/however等。
