Learning aims
在前面两个单元,我们已经分别学习了定语从句关系代词和关系副词的功能以及如何正确选择关系代词和关系副词。我们知道,关系代词可以指代先行词,在从句中作主语、宾语或定语;而关系副词在从句中作状语,相当于“介词+关系代词”。同时,我们还简单地提到了关系副词与“介词+关系代词”之间的的转换,例如 This is the village where he was born. 句中的where 可以替换为 in which. 这节课我们将重点讲解“介词+关系代词”的用法。
知识梳理
1. 概述:“介词+关系代词” 结构引导的定语从句中,关系代词只能用 which (指物) 或 whom(指人), 即:介词 + which/whom。
Eg. The man to whom you spoke is a teacher.
The city in which she lives is far away,
The little girl is reading a book, in which there are many cartoons.
注意:当介词放在关系代词的前面时,用在介词后的关系代词不能省略。
“介词+关系代词”用法
2. 变化:在限制性定语从句中,当介词置于定语从句的谓语动词之后时,可用that/which(指物), that/who/whom (指人) 作介词的宾语,且此处关系代词可以省略,特别是在口语中。
Eg. The man (who/whom/that) you spoke to is a teacher.
The city (which/that) she lives in is far away.
“介词+关系代词”用法
注意:通常介词放在定语从句中动词后,也可以放在关系代词前面,但有些特殊动词短语搭配不能拆分,介词只能放在动词后,如:look for, look after, pay attention to, take care of, look forward to, listen to等。
Eg. The patient whom she is looking after is her father.
The rules which we should pay attention to were written here.
“介词+关系代词”用法
3.常见用法:当“介词+关系代词” 在定语从句中作时间,地点,原因状语从句时,可以用相应的关系副词 when ,where, why来代替。即:
when=表时间的介词(如in,at,during)+which
where=表地点的介词(如in,at,on,under)+which
why=表原因的介词(for)+which
“介词+关系代词”用法
小试牛刀

(3)I still remember the day ______/__________ I went to university.

“介词+关系代词”用法
4. 关系代词前介词的确定
(1)一看从句中的习惯搭配
I bought a great many books, on which I spent all my money that I saved.
(2)二看先行词的习惯搭配
I shall never forget the time during which I spent my childhood in the country.
(3) 三看表达的意思
The colorless gas without which we cannot live is called oxygen.
spend money on sth.
during the time
没有它

Britain introduced the language to the countries it discovered or controlled,and by the end of the 19th century,it was already the main language used in the United States,Canada,Australia and New Zealand. But it was the growing economic,political and cultural influence of the USA after World War Ⅱ that sped up the use of the language across the planet.
