定 语 从 句
一、定语从句的语法意义
定语从句 的 语法意义 在复合句中修饰名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。被定语从句修饰的名词或代词叫先行词;引导定语从句的词叫关系词(其作用一是放在先行词和定语从句之间起连接作用;二是代替先行词在从句中充当一定的句子成分;三是重复先行词的意义)。引导定语从句的有关系代词who, whom, whose, which, that等和关系副词when, where, why等。
二、由关系词引导的定语从句
先行词 先行词在从句中的成分 关系代词或关系副词
人 主语 who / that
人 宾语 who / whom / that
物 主语 which / that
物 宾语 which / that
人 / 物 定语 whose
时间 时间状语 when = at/ in / on+which
地点 地点状语 where = 介词at / in+which
原因 原因状语 Why = for + which
注意:
1. 关系代词在定语从句作主语时,从句谓语动词的人称和数要和先行词保持一致。
He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.
I like people who are honest with me.
2. 关系代词在从句中作宾语时,常可省略。但介词提前时后面关系代词不能省略,也不可
以用that和who。
The woman whom/who/that you talked about is here now.
The woman about whom you talked is here now. him.
I will never forget the day on which I first met.
whose引定语导从句时作定语修饰名词,所以whose的后面一定有名词。它可以修饰人,
相当于of whom,也可以修饰物,相当于of which。例如:
The room whose window (=the window of which) is red is mine.
This is the scientist whose name (=the name of whom) is known all over the world.
三、限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别(不作要求):
类别 语法意义及特征 例句
限制性定语从句 对先行词起修饰限制作用,如果去掉,主句意思就不完整明确,从句与主句的关系十分密切,没有逗号。 The accident happened at the time when I left.
非限制性定语从句 对先行词作附加的说明,与主句关系不十分密切。从句和主句之间有逗号分开,不能用that引导,关系代词做宾语不能省略。 His mother, whom he loved deeply, died ten years ago.
四、that与which, who, whom的用法区别。
情况 用法说明
which与that who(m)和that 可互换情况 ① 限制性定语从句中,先行词是物时,which和that两者可互换,没多大区别。 ② 限制性定语从句中,先行词是人时,作主语或宾语时,who和that可互换;作宾语时,whom和that可互换。但在“介词+whom”的结构中,不能用that代替whom。
只能用which, who, whom的情况 ① 在非限制性定语从句中,先行词指物只能用which引导定语从句,which也可以引导修饰整个主句的定语从句(代替前面的主句);指人时若作主语,只能用who;作宾语时可以用who或whom。 如:He has a son, who has gone abroad for further study. ② 在由“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句中,只能用which指物,whom指人。如:like the person to whom the teacher is talking.
③ 先行词本身是that时,关系词用which, 先行词为those, one, he时多用who。如:Those who respect others are usually respected by others.
只 用 that 的 情 况 ① 先行词为all, everything, anything, nothing, little, much等不定代词时; 如: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; 如:All the books that you offered has been given out.
③ 先行词有形容词最高级和序数词修饰时; 如:This is the best film that I have ever read.
④ 先行词既指人又指物时; 如:We talked about the persons and things that we remembered.
⑤ 先行词被the only, the very修饰时; 如:He is the only man that I want to see.
⑥ 句中已经有who或which时,为了避免重复时。 如:Who is the man that is making a speech
