定語從句
1、定義:修飾、先定名次或代詞的一個句子,是後置定語的一種
2、先行詞:被定語從句所修飾的名詞或代詞
3、引導詞:引導從句、弱化從句、連接主句和從句、表達先行詞的意思、在從句中充當成分 -
定語從句解密
1、規則1:若先行詞是物,定語從句關係詞用which,在從句中充當主語或賓語:
I enjoy reading the book which is about Chinese culture.
The ticket he bought today is available for two months.
2、規則2:若先行詞是人,關係詞在從句中充當主語時用who,充當賓語時用whom(關係詞在從句中作賓語時可以省略):
The man is my teacher who speaks fluent English.
The woman (whom) I interviewed is a great scientist.
3、規則3:當先行詞與從句中某個名詞有所屬關係,表達“…的”意思,定於從句引導詞用whose:
I know a man whose brother is a doctor.
4、規則4:若先行詞是時間類名詞(如day、year等),關係詞用when:
She still remember the day when she received her master’s degree.
5、規則5:若先行詞是地點類名詞(如place、house、school等),關係詞用where:
This is a park where we met for the first time.
6、若先行詞是名詞reason,關係詞用why:
I konw the reason why he missed the lecture. -
限定性定從/非限定性定從
1、限定性定從:主句和從句之間無逗號隔開,先行詞範圍模糊,一定需要修飾或界定:
I don’t like people who are never on time.
2、非限定性定從:主句和從句之間有逗號隔開,先行詞範圍明確,從句只起補充說明作用:
Einstein,who was a great scientist,created the theory of relativity.
3、注意:當先行詞爲以下情況,其後只能接非限定性定從:
(1)先行詞時具有唯一性的名詞或代詞(如sun、moon、mother):
His mother,who graduated from Harvard,is his role model.
(2)先行詞是專有名詞(如人名,地名,公司名等):
Jason works at Google,which is a world famous company.
(3)先行詞是一個句子(此時引導詞只能用which或as):
He was late for an hour,which annoyed his girlfriend.
As we all know,James is a famous player. -
介詞提前的定語從句
關係詞只能用which或whom:
She is the actress about whom we talked just now.
The environment in which we live is polluted.
Here is a pen with which you can sign your name.
Mr.Smith is the person to whom you should apologize. -
定語從句的分隔情況
先行詞和引導詞之間插入了其他成分:
A new teacher will be here tomorrow who will teach you English.
The days are gone when most people were illiterate -
關係詞的特殊用法
1、不管先行詞是人還是物,在從句中作主語還是賓語,都可用that
2、有些情況,只能用that:
(1)說法絕對:先行詞出現絕對性描述,如the only,everyone,everything,all,none,anything,anyone
(2)當先行詞前有序數詞時,如the first,the seconed,the last
(3)先行詞前有形容詞最高級修飾時
(4)人物並現
3、以下兩種特殊情況不能使用that:
(1)that不能引導非限定性定語從句
(2)定於從句前面有介詞時,關係詞不能用that
