通过以上实例的学习和观察，大家有没有发现，这些句子的一个特点都是介词+ the fact that从句这个基本结构。
解析：
根据传统语法，在英语习惯用法里一般介词后面通常不能直接跟一个that从句作宾语，遇此情况，我们可以变通一下，在that从句前使用the fact。如此一来，就变成了the fact用作介词的宾语，而其后的that从句则成了the fact的同位语从句。这样我们就巧妙地把介词或介词短语与that从句进行了有效链接。
2.上面降到的是一般情况，那么英语中哪些介词可直接跟that从句呢？小编给大家收集了几个，希望大家认真学习记忆：except，but,given,save,besides,beyond，in,如：

特别注意：上面所说从句都是指that从句，而wh-类的从句是一般是可以和介词或介词短语连用的，所以，不能说不能加宾从，而是一般不能加that引导的从句；象先的例句还是比较常见的，
例如：
I was interested in what he said.我对他所说的感兴趣。
