“代入法”解析定语从句
定语从句在高中阶段的学习中,可以说既是重点,又是难点。高考几乎年年都围绕定语从句出不少的题。为了不让定语从句成为高中英语学习过程中的“拦路虎”,下面,笔者试图用数学的方法来解析定语从句这个难题。
要运用代入法来解释定语从句,首先要理清定语从句的引导词在句子中能代替什么和能作什么成分。下面的简表可大致表明引导词的作用:
能代替的东西 能代替的成分
which 人 主,宾
that 人,物 主,宾
who 人 主
whom 人 宾
when 时间 状
where 地点 状
why 原因 状
用“代入法“解析定语从句,大概有如下几个步骤:
1:通读全句,找出先行词,( 即定语从句所修饰的词 )
2:判定先行词的属性:是人,是物,还是人物皆有:
3:把先行词代入后面的定语从句中,分析其所作成分:
4:确定引导词。
在这四个步骤中,第二点中的“分析成分” 就是解释并确定定语从句的引导词的关键。学生。如果在这个分析成分过程中感到困难,可以复习简单句五种基本句型。先弄清句子的基本结构和成分。
下面,笔者用个简单的例子来演示这个代入法
1:This is the village ___________I visited last year.
2:This is the village____________I lived last year.
第一步:确定先行词:例1和例2中先行词皆为 the village
第二步:判定先行词的属性,是 物,(先排除who,whom可能性)
第三步:把先行词代入定语从句中:
1. I visited the village last year. ( 宾语 )
2. I lived in the village last year. ( 地点状语 )
第四步:确定引导词:例1. that / which / x
例2 where / in which
