这是一本有趣的书。(形容词interesting 作定语。)
This is a book that has beautiful pictures.

考点2
被修饰的名词或代词叫先行词。从句放在被修饰词(即先行词) 之后。引导定语从句的词叫关系词。that 作关系词可指物或人, 在定语从句中可作主语或宾语。
e.g. I’m looking for the photos that you took in Australia.
我正在找你在澳大利亚拍的照片。(作宾语)
There were kangaroos that were jumping alongside the car. 袋鼠正在小汽车旁边跳。(作主语)
考题在线2:This is the first birthday gift _______ I received. I’ve kept it many years. [十堰]
A. which B. that C. who D. what
注意:
(1) 在定语从句中, 关系代词取代了作主语或作宾语的词, 因此在定语从句中不能再重复这些词。
e.g. Australia is the country. Most British people would like to visit it. (合并成定语从句)
Australia is the country that most British people would like to visit. (对)
Australia is the country that most British people would like to visit it. (错)
(2) 当关系词在定语从句中作主语时, 从句中的谓语动词应与先行词在人称和数上保持一致。
e.g. They lived in some houses that were cold and unsafe.
他们住在一些又冷又不安全的房子里。(were 与先行词 houses 保持一致)
I have a friend that loves sports.
我有一个喜欢体育运动的朋友。(loves 与先行词friend 保持一致)
