定语从句
一.定义:在复合句中,修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫做定语从句。
如:1) The man who lives next to us is a policeman.
2) You must do everything that I do.
上面两句中的man和everything是定语从句所修饰的词,叫先行词,定语从句放在先行词的后面。
引导定语从句的词有:关系代词that, which, who(宾格whom, 所有格whose)
关系副词where, when、why
关系词常有三个作用:1、引导定语从句
2、代替先行词
3、在定语从句中担当一个成分
二、关系代词引导的定语从句
1.who指人,在从句中做主语
(1)The boys who are playing football are from Class One.
(2)Yesterday I helped an old man who lost his way.
2. whom指人,在定语从句中充当宾语,常可省略。
(1) Mr. Liu is the person (whom) you talked about.
注意:关系代词whom在口语和非正式语体中常用who代替,可省略。
(3) The man who/whom you met just now is my friend.
3. which指物,在定语从句中做主语或者宾语,做宾语时可省略
(1) Football is a game which is liked by most boys. ( which 在句子中做主语)
(2) This is the pen (which) he bought yesterday. ( which 在句子中做宾语)
4. that指人时,相当于who或者whom;指物时,相当于which。
在宾语从句中做主语或者宾语,做宾语时可省略。
(5) The people that/who come to visit the city are all here. (在句子中做主语)
(6) Where is the man that/whom I saw this morning (在句子中做宾语)
5. whose通常指人,也可指物,在定语从句中做定语
(1) He has a friend whose father is a doctor.
(2) I lived in a house whose roof has fallen in.
whose指物时,常用以下结构来代替
(3)The classroom whose door is broken will soon be repaired.
=The classroom the door of which is broken will soon be repaired.
(5)Do you like the book whose color is yellow
=Do you like the book the color of which is yellow
三.关系副词的用法:
1.when指时间,其先行词表示时间,在句中作时间状语
It happned in November when the weather was wet and cold.
2.where 指地点,其先行词表示地点,在句中做地点状语
Let’s look for a place where we can swim.
3.why指原因,其先行词常是reason,在句中做原因状语
Nobody knows the reason why he is often late for school.
关系代词只用that,不用which的情况
1.先行词为:all,everything,anything,nothing ,little,much等不定代词时。
He told me everything that he knows.
2.先行词被all ,any,every,each,much,little,no,some,few等修饰时

3.先行词有形容词最高级或序数词修饰,或先行词本身就是最高级或序数词时。

4.先行词既指人又指物时。
