1.定语从句的定义:
在复合句中修饰或限定主句中某一名词或代词的从句叫定语从句,它所修饰的名词或代词叫作先行词。限制性定语从句与先行词之间的关系非常密切,从句说明先行词的性质、身份、特征等状况。限制性定语从句不能被省略,否则句意就不完整。引导定语从句的关系词包括关系代词和关系副词。
2.关系词的作用:①连接主句和从句;
②指代先行词;
③在从句中充当句子成分。
3.关系词的分类:①关系代词:that,
which,
who,
whom
,
whose,
as;
②关系副词:
when,
where,
why。
关系代词的用法如下表:

4.
宜用that不用which的情况
(1)当先行词是all,
much,
anything,
something,
everything,
nothing,
little,
none等不定代词时
例:
I
refuse
to
accept
the
blame
for
something
that
was
someone
else’s
fault.
As
a
grassroots
singer,
she
reads
everything
that
she
can
get
hold
of
concerning
music.
(2)
当先行词被all,
no,
few,
any,
little,
some,
much,
last,
only,
very等修饰时。
例:
Please
send
us
all
the
information
that
you
have
about
the
candidates
for
the
position.
Tom
is
the
only
foreigner
that
I
know.
(3)
当先行词为序数词或被序数词修饰,或先行词被形容词最高级修饰时
例:
This
is
the
most
exciting
basketball
game
that
I
have
ever
seen.
The
first
place
that
we
visited
in
China
is
the
Great
Wall.
(4)
当先行词既有人又有物时
例:
I
still
remember
the
persons
and
the
sceneries
that
I
saw
in
that
small
village.
(5)
当先行词在主句中作表语,且关系代词本身在定语从句中也做表语时,此时句子一般带有类比含义。
例:
He
is
no
longer
the
star
that
he
was.
Our
school
is
no
longer
the
place
that
it
used
to
be.
5.
用which不用that的情况
(1)引导非限制性定语从句时。
例:
The
library
provides
all
kinds
of
books,
which
makes
our
life
colorful.
(2)
在定语从句中作介词的宾语,且介词位于关系代词之前时
例:I
am
looking
for
a
box
in
which
I
can
put
all
these
books.
6.
定语从句中的主谓一致
一般情况下,关系代词在从句中作主语时,定语从句谓语动词的人称和数一般与先行词的人称和数保持一致。
例:The
books
that
were
sold
out
in
two
weeks
were
all
written
by
Tom.
I’m
fond
of
the
piece
of
music
which
was
played
by
Lucy.
要点提示:
one
of
the
+可数名词复数+定语从句结构中,定语从句的谓语动词用复数形式,而在the
only/very/right
one
of
the
+可数名词复数+定语从句结构中,定语从句的谓语动词用单数形式。
例:
He
is
one
of
the
students
who
were
awarded
the
prize.
Barbara
is
easy
to
recognize
as
she’s
the
only
one
of
the
women
who
wears
evening
dress.
