在复合句中,修饰名词或代词的从句叫作定语从句,其功能相当于形容词,被修饰的名词或代词被称作先行词。引导定语从句的关系词有关系代词(that, who、 whom、 which和whose)和关系副词(when, where和why)。定语从句有两种,即限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句,非限制性定语从句和主句之间用逗号隔开。
考点一 关系代词的用法
一、关系代词that与which的用法
1.只用that的情况
(1)当先行词为all,everything, anything, nothing, little, much, few等不定代词时;
(2)当先行词被all,some,every,any,no,little,much,few等修饰时;
(3)先行词被序数词、形容词最高级修饰,或先行词本身是序数词或形容词最高级时;
(4)先行词被the only, the very (正是;恰是), the same, the last等修饰时;
(5)先行词中既有人也有物时;
(6)在which、who或what引导的特殊疑问句中含有定语从句时;
(7)先行词是the way,并在定语从句中充当状语时,关系代词用that/in which或省略关系词。

这正是我想看的一部影片。
The famous writer and his book that you referred to just now are well-known now.
你刚才提到的那位著名作家和他的书现在非常有名。
2.只用which的情况
(1)引导非限制性定语从句时;
(2)关系代词充当介词的宾语,且介词位于关系代词之前时;
(3)当先行词本身为that时。
The result was not the same as they had expected, which was rather disappointing.
结果与当初预料的不一样,这让人觉得很失望。
二、which与as引导非限制性定语从句的区别
which as
位置上 只能放在主句的后面 位置灵活,可位于句首、句中,也可位于句末

意思上 这一点 正如……;正像……的那样

她再婚了,这是始料不及的。

关系代词 先行词 在从句中所作成分
who 人 主语、宾语(限制性定语从句中可省略)、表语
whom 人 宾语(限制性定语从句中可省略)
whose(=of whom/ of which) 人或物 定语
