关联词多用从属连词that。如：

Where did you get the idea that I could not e? 你在哪儿听说我不能来？
Early in the day came the news that Germany had declared war on Russia. 德国已对俄国宣战的消息一大早就传来了。 注：同位语从句偶尔由从属连词whether引导。如：

到哪儿去度暑假，这个问题我们还没有决定。 It is a question how he did it. 那是一个他如何做了此事的问题。 3. that引导的同位语从句与定语从句之区别
1).句法功能上:
that引导的同位语从句: that只起连接从句的作用，无意义。在从句中不充当句子成分。不可省。
that引导的定语从句: that替代先行词在从句中不仅起连接作用，还充当一个句子成分。如在从句中作动词的宾语时可省略。
2). 意义上:
that引导的同位语从句: 从句是被修饰名词的内容。 that引导的定语从句: 从句起限定作用，是定语
如：The news that Mr. Li will be our new English teacher is true. (同位语从句，that不可省。)
The news (that) he told me yesterday is true. (定语从句，that在从句中作told的宾语，可省。)
4．一些表示“建议、命令、要求”的名词后所跟的同位语从句中，谓语动词用虚拟语气should+ 动词原形表示。should可省。如：
This is our only request that this (should) be settled as soonas possible. 这就是我们唯一的请求：尽快解决这个问题。
