定语从句
1.定义:一个句子充当定语。其功能相当于形容词,修饰名词或代词,在句中作定语。
2.位置:定语从句置于被修饰词之后。
Those who are for the plan raise your hands,please.
3.先行词:被定语从句修饰的词称为先行词。
先行词一般是名词和不定代词,如:some,any,every和no与body,thing的合成词;或all,none,any,some,that,those等代词。数词也可以作先行词,人称代词也同样可作先行词。
4.关系词:连接先行词与从句的词叫关系词。
关系代词:who,whom,which,that,whose,as等
关系副词:when,where,why等
5.确定关系词的步骤:
(1)先找先行词,看先行词指的是什么。
(2)看关系词在从句中所充当的成分。
注意:先行词与关系词是等量关系。
(1)先行词在从句中作主语时,从句谓语动词的数由先行词而定。
This is the place which is worth visiting.
(2)关系词在从句句子中充当了成分,其意思就是先行词的意义,所以在从句中不能重复其意。
There are many places we can visit (them) in China.
6.在定语从句中,当先行词指物时,下列情况的关系词宜用that而不用which:
(1)当先行词是序数词或形容词最高级或被序数词、形容词最高级修饰时。
(2)先行词被all,every,no,some,any,little,much,the only,the very,few等修饰时。
(3)先行词为all,much,little,none,few,something,anything等不定代词时。
(4)先行词中既有人又有物时。
He was looking pleasantly at the children and parcels that filled his bus.
(5)先行词在主句中作表语时。
The village is no longer the one that was 5 years ago.
(6)当主句是以which开头的特殊疑问句时。
Which are the books that you bought for me?
7.宜用which而不用that的情况:
(1)在非限制性定语从句中。
(2)在关系词前有介词时。
(3)当先行词本身是that时。
(4)关系词后有插入语时。
8.关系词who与that指人时,也有不同情况分别用不同的关系词。
(1)当主句是there be句型时,关系词用who。
(2)先行词是anyone,those,someone,everyone,one等词时,关系词用who。
(3)当主句是who作疑问词时,关系词用that。
Who is that girl that is standing by the window?
(4)whom在从句中只作宾语,可被who取代。
9.whose作关系词既指人又指物,在从句中作定语。
Do you know Mr.Smith whose story is very moving?
There is a room,whose window faces the river.
10.关系代词as在从句中作主语、宾语和表语。
(1)先行词被such和the same修饰,或句型as many(much)中,从句都用as 引导。
Such books as you bought are useful.
The school is just the same as it was 10 years ago.
注意:①such...that...引导结果状语从句。如:They are such lovely children that we love them much。②the same...that...引导定语从句。如:I want to use the same tool that you used just now.
(2)无先行词的定语从句用as和which引导。
区别:①意义上:as 含有“这点正如……一样”。②位置上:as 从句可置句首,也可在另处。
He didn’t pass the exam,as we had expected.
There is lots of air in loose snow,which can keep the cold out.
As is known,the earth is round.
11.关系副词when与where,why,that
when 指时间=in/at/on/during which
where指地点=in/at/from which
why指原因=for which
that可以用 HYPERLINK "http://www.21cnjy.com" 于表示时间、地点、方式、理由的名词之后,取代when,where,why和“介词+which”引导的定语从句,修饰的先行词常为the way,the time,the day,the place等,在口语中that常被省略。
I don’t like the way (that/in which) he talks.
This is the first time I have given you a lesson in French.
12.必须注意的问题:
(1)关系词作主语时,从句中谓语的数。
(2)注意区别定语从句与强调句。
①定语从句中关系词作从句成分,复合句。
②强调句中it无意义,that/who不是引导词。
③去掉it is/was和that/who后,如果句子意思讲得通则是强调句,讲不通则不是。
It is the museum that/which we visited last year.(定语从句)
It was in the hotel that we stayed last night.(强调句)
(3)定语从句与同位语从句的区别。
①定语从句的引导词被称为关系词,that充当主语、宾语、表语,有时可省略。
②同位语从句的引导词被叫作连接词,that不充当任何成分,不可省。
Word came that their army was defeated.(同位语从句)
We expressed to them our wish that was the same as theirs.(定语从句)
(4)关系词在从句中省略的情况。
①关系词作宾语,前无介词时。
②关系词作表语。
(5)关系词前有介词或复杂介词,关系词只能是which和whom。
(6)几个特殊的定语从句句型:
