定语从句专题复习
定语从句(Attributive Clauses)在句中做定语,修饰一个名词或代词,被修
饰的名词,词组或代词即先行词。定语从句通常出现在先行词之后,由关系词(关
系代词或关系副词)引出。
关系代词有:who, whom, whose(一般指人), that(指人或物), which(指物)等。
关系副词有: when(时间), where(地点), why(原因)等。
(1)关系代词引导的定语从句
关系代词所代替的先行词是人或物的名词或代词,并在句中充当主语、宾语、定
语等成分。关系代词在定语从句中作主语时,从句谓语动词的人称和数要和先行
词保持一致。
① who, whom, that
这些词代替的先行词是人的名词或代词,在从句中所起作用如下:
Is he the man who/that wants to see you?
他就是你想见的人吗?(who / that 在从句中作主语)
He is the man (whom/ that) I saw yesterday.
他就是我昨天见的那个人。(whom/who/that 在从句中作 saw 的宾语,可以省略)
② whose 用来指人或物,(只用作定语,若指物,它还可以同 of which 互换),
例如:
They rushed over to help the man whose car had broken down.
那人车坏了,大家都跑过去帮忙。
Please pass me the book whose/of which cover(封面)is green.
请递给我那本绿皮的书。
③ which, that
它们所代替的先行词是事物的名词或代词,在从句中可作主语、宾语等,例如:
Rosa likes music that/which is quite and gentle.(which / that 在句中作宾语)
This is the book (that/which) I'm looking for.(which / that 在句中作 look for 的宾语)
(2)关系副词引导的定语从句
关系副词可代替的先行词是时间、地点或理由的名词,在从句中作状语。
① when, where, why
关系副词 when, where, why 的含义相当于“介词+ which”结构,因此常常和“介
词+ which”结构交替使用,例如:
Do you remember the day when I saw you?(你还记得我见到你的那一天吗?)
Beijing is the place where(in which)I was born. 北京是我的出生地。
Is this the reason why(for which)he refused our offer?
这就是他拒绝我们帮助他的理由吗?
② that 代替关系副词
that 可以用于表示时间、地点、方式、理由的名词后取代 when, where, why 和“介
词+ which”引导的定语从句,在口语中 that 常被省略,例如:
His father died the year(that / when / in which)he was born.
他父亲在他出生那年逝世了。
He is unlikely to find the place(that / where / in which)he lived forty years ago.
他不大可能找到他四十年前居住过的地方。
(3)判断关系代词与关系副词
方法一: 用关系代词,还是关系副词完全取决于从句中的谓语动词。及物动词
后面无宾语,就必须要求用关系代词;而不及物动词则要求用关系副词。例如:
This is the mountain village where I stayed last year.
I’ll never forget the days when I worked together with you.
判断改错
(错)This is the mountain village where I visited last year.
(错)I will never forget the days when I spent in the countryside.
(对)This is the mountain village(which)I visited last year.
(对)I'll never forget the days(which)I spent in the countryside.
习惯上总把表地点或时间的名词与关系副词 where,when 联系在一起。此两题
错在关系词的误用上。
方法二:准确判断先行词在定语从句中的成分(主、谓、宾、定、状),也能正
确选择出关系代词/关系副词。
例 1:Is this museum _____ you visited a few days age?
A. where B. that C. on which D. the one
例 2:Is this the museum _____ the exhibition was held.
A. where B. that C. on which D. the one
答案:
例 1 D;例 2 A
例 1 变为肯定句:
This museum is _____ you visited a few days ago.
例 2 变为肯定句:
This is the museum _____ the exhibition was held.
在句 1 中,所缺部分为宾语,而 where, that, on which 都不能起到宾语的作用,
只有 the one 既做了主句的表语,又可做从句的宾语,可以省略关系代词,所以
应选 D。
而句 2 中,主、谓、宾俱全,从句部分为句子的状语表地点,既可用副词 where,
又因 in the museum 词组,可用介词 in + which 引导地点状语。而此题中,介词
on 用的不对,所以选 A。
关系词的选择依据在从句中所做的成分,先行词在从句中做主、定、宾语时,选
择关系代词(who, whom, that, which, whose);先行词在从句中做状语时,应选
择关系副词 (where 地点状语,when 时间状语,why 原因状语)。
(4)介词+关系词
① 介词后面的关系词不能省略。
② that 前不能有介词。
③ 某些在从句中充当时间,地点或原因状语的“介词+关系词”结构可以同关系
副词
when 和 where 互换。
This is the house in which I lived two years ago.
This is the house where I lived two years ago.
Do you remember the day on which you joined our club?
Do you remember the day when you joined our club?
(7)关系代词 that 的用法
① 不用 that 的情况
a. 在引导非限定性定语从句时。
The tree, which(不能用 that)is four hundred years old, is very famous here.
b. 介词后不能用。
We depend on the land from which(不能用 that) we get our food.
② 只能用 that 作为定语从句的关系代词的情况
a. 在不定代词,如:anything, nothing, the one, all, much, few, any, little 等作先行
词时,只用 that,不用 which。
b. 先行词有 the only, the very , the last, the same 等修饰时修饰时,只用 that。
c. 先行词为序数词、数词、形容词最高级时,只用 that。
d. 先行词既有人,又有物时。
