1.关系代词的省略(限定性定语从句)
(1)关系代词在定语从句中作宾语
She is the girl (whom / that) I loved before. (可以省略whom/that)
(2)关系代词在定语从句中作表语
He is no longer the boy (that) he used to be. (可以省略that)
(3)关系代词作介词宾语,介词在从句句尾时可以省略
Housing price is a problem (that/which) people are interested in.
比较:
Housing price is a problem in which people are interested.(此时只能用which且不能省略)
2.先行词是人(that/who的区别)
(1)用that的情况
①以疑问词who开头的句子中
Who is the man that is shouting there?
②关系代词在从句中作表语时
She is not the girl that she used to be.
③先行词被the very, the right, the only修饰
This is the very person that we are looking for.
(2)用who的情况
①先行词是one, ones, anybody, all, none, those 等
Those who want to go to the cinema will have to wait at the gate of the school.
②句子中有两个定语从句,一个用了that,另外一个用who
Who is the boy that won the gold medal?
③在there be 结构中
There are many young men who are against him.
④在非限定性定语从句当中
Tom, who is my best friend, has gone abroad to study.
3.先行词是物(that / which的区别)
(1)用which的情况
①在非限定性定语从句中
She lost the game, which depressed her greatly.
②关系词置于介词之后,作宾语
The pen with which you write is Jack’s.
③先行词是that或定语从句中套定语从句,一个关系词用that,另一个用which.
Let me show you the novel that I borrowed from the library which is newly open to us.
(2)用that的情况
①先行词是不定代词如all, little, few, much,anything, everything, nothing, none, no one等
She did all that she could to help us.
②先行词被all, every, no, some, little, much, the only, he very, the right,the last等所修饰时
This is the very book that I want.
③先行词中既有人又有物时
She described in her compositions the people and he places that impressed her most.
④先行词前有序数词或形容词最高级修饰时
This is the best book that I have ever read.
This is the first film that I’ve seen since I came here.
⑤定语从句中套定语从句,其中一个关系词以用which, 另外一个用that
He built a factory which produced things that had never been seen before.
⑥当主句的主语是疑问词which,另一个用that
Who is the person that is standing at the gate?
4.As引导定语从句用法
(1)As 既可以引导限制性定语从句也可以用于非限定性定句中充当主语,宾语,表语等。
常用于以下句型当中:Such/so….. as…. 像…..一样 the same …. as… 和…...同样的
A computer is so useful a machine as we can use everyday.
He is not the same man as he was.
(2)引导非限制性定语从句,此时译为“正如,像”等。可以放在句首,句中或句末。
As I remember, there were a net bar here.
Taiwan is an inseparable part of China, as is known to all.
★the same as...和the same that...引导定语从句的区别
This is the same bike that I lost yesterday. (同一事物)
This is the same bike as I lost yesterday. (同类事物)
5.关系副词的运用
(1)When 在定语从句中做时间状语,先行词为表示时间的time, day等
I still remember the day when I first came to Beijing. (when=on which)
(2)Where 在定语从句中做地点状语,先行词为表地点的place, spot等
Can you tell me the office where he works?
(where = in which)
(3)Why 在定语从句中做原因状语,先行词只有reason.
I don’t want to listen to any reason why you were absent.
(why = for which)
★ 关系副词 = 相应的介词 + 关系代词
★ Where引导的定语从句还可以修饰抽象空间的名词如case(情形),situation, position(位置),stage (阶段),point(地步)等
What are the situations where body language is the only form of communication?
在哪些情况下身体语言是唯一的沟通方式。(此时where = in which)
