定语从句
【语法讲解】
【名词解释】
定语
用来修饰名词或代词的成分,叫做定语。常和名词一起构成名词短语。
e.g:Kitty is a beautiful girl.
此句中的beautiful 为定语成分修饰girl
定语从句
用一个句子作定语,这个句子就叫做定语从句。
Eg:Kitty is a girl who has long hair. (定语从句)
此句中的a girl 叫做先行词, 引导定语从句的who叫做关系词。
关系词的种类
关系词不仅在先行词与定语从句之间起连接作用,在从句中也充当句子的成分。关系词分关系代词和关系副词。用哪个关系词引导定语从句由先行词来决定。具体见下表:
关系词 所修饰的先行词 关系词在句中所作成分
关系代词 who 人 主语 宾语
whom 人 宾语
that 人或物 主语 宾语 表语
whose 人或物 定语
which 物 主语 宾语
关系副词 when 时间 时间状语
关系副词 where 地点 地点状语
why 原因 原因状语
【用法讲解】
一、关系代词的用法
1.who/whom的用法
who/whom都用于指人。who在定语从句中作主语、宾语,whom在定语从句中作宾语。作宾语的关系代词who/ whom可以省略,(介词后作宾语的关系代词除外)
e.g: --We are proud of Mo Yan.我们都以莫言为荣。
---Yes. He is a great writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in2012.
The man (who/whom) you looked for yesterday has already come.
先行词指人, 在从句中作宾语,可省略
(真题链接) ( )We should look up to those scientists_____sent Tianzhou- I Cargo Spaceship(天舟一号货运飞船) to space. A. which B. who C. what
2. that
that既可以指人也可以指物,在定语从句中作主语、宾语或表语。作宾语时可以省略。
We need a person that is right for the job.
The picture ( that )we are studying was drawn by a fifteen-year-old student.
先行词指物在从句中作宾语,可省略
考点:
1) that作介词宾语时,介词不可提到that之前,若介词提前,指物用 which,指人用 whom
eg: Mrs. Evans is the person to whom you should write.
2) 先行词是指人的不定代词或指示代词,如one, all, nobody,none, those等时,关系代词只能用who不能用that
eg: Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition.向我们的获胜者祝贺,也感谢参与比赛的每个人。
3. which的用法
which用于指物,在从句中作主语、宾语或表语。作宾语且不直接跟在介词后时, which可以省略。
eg: The tree which is in front of my house is more than ten years old.
eg:The story( which) he told was very popular.
eg: The house in which I used to live has become a shoe shop.
4. whose的用法
whose可以指人也可以指物,在定语从句中作定语。
eg:He is a man whose opinion I respect. 他是我尊重其意见的人。
eg: I'd like a room whose window looks out over the sea.
考点:
用来指物时,“whose+名词”可用“限定词+名词+ of which”或者"“of which+限定词+名词”来代替。
eg:He lives in a house whose windows face south.他住在一个窗户朝南的房子里。
=-the windows of which或of which the windows
二、只用that不用 which的情况
1. 先行词是不定代词或者被不定代词修饰时
先行词是 anything, everything, nothing,few,all,none,little,some等,或者由every ,any, all. some,no, little.,few,much等不定代词修饰时,关系代词用that不用 which
eg: Have you taken down everything that Mr Li has said
e.g. Any man that doesn't have a sense of duty can't do the thing well.
2. 先行词是序数词或者形容词最高级或被其修饰时
e.g.: The first thing that my brother is going to do this afternoon is to study physics.
e.g.: I have found the best way that could finish the test.
3. 先行词既有指人的名词,也有指物的名词时
Eg:Jack took photographs of the things and people that he was interested in.
4. 先行词被 the only, the last, the very等修饰时
e.g.:This is the very dictionary that I want to buy.
5. 当主句是以who或者 which开头的特殊疑问句时
e.g. Who is the person that is standing at the gate
Which is the bicycle that you bought last month
三、只用 which不用that的情况
1. 先行词本身就是that时,that充当先行词,避免重复用which
1 don’t like that which he did. 我不喜欢他做的那件事。
2. 关系代词前有介词且指事物时
I’m looking for a container in which I can put all these which peaches.
四、定语从句中的主谓一致
定语从句中的主谓一致是指关系代词在定语从句中作主语时,定语从句中谓语动词的单复数形式要与先行词一致。先行词是单数时,从句的谓语动词用单数;先行词是复数时,从句的谓语动词用复数。
The man who is playing football is my PE teacher.
I love singers who write their own music.
【重点句子】
