The Attributive Clause
在复合句中,修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。
定语从句中被修饰的名词或代词叫“先行词”,它往往放在定语从句之前。
引导定语从句的词叫关系词。关系词分为关系代词(that, which, who, whom, whose)和关系副词(where, when, why).
e.g; (1) The story that I read just now is encouraging.
(2) I have a friend who likes listening to classical music.
1. 由关系代词引导的定语从句。
(1)that既可指人也可指物,在从句中作主语或宾语。

2. 由关系副词引导的定语从句——关系副词在从句中作状语。

(2)限制性定语从句中只能用that的情况:

e.g: Do you have anything that you want to say for yourself

2) 当动词短语中的介词提前时。
e.g.This is the house in which Lu Xun once lived.

(4) 定语从句中的特殊情况。
1)由关系代词as 引导的。
