定语从句
定语从句在句中做定语,修饰一个名词或代词的句子。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, that, which,as等。 关系副词有:when, where, why等。
定语从句有限制性和非限制性两种。限制性定语从句对先行词起修饰限制作用,去掉之后意思不明确。非限制性定语从句对先行词起补充说明作用,与主句往往用逗号隔开,相当于并列句或状语从句等。例如:
This is the house which we bought last month. (限制性)
The house, which we bought last month, is very nice. (非限制性)
限制性定语从句
1.关系代词引导的限制性定语从句
关系代词所代替的先行词是人或物的名词或代词,并在从句中充当主语、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 先行词是人,在从句中作主语和宾语。例如:
Is he the man who/that wants to see you? (who/that在从句中作主语,不能省略)
He is the man whom/ that I saw yesterday. (whom/that在从句中作宾语,可以省略)
2)whose 先行词是人或物,(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.
Please pass me the book whose (of which) cover is green.
3)which, that先行词是物,在从句中可作主语、宾语等。例如:
A prosperity which / that had never been seen before appears in the countryside. (作被动语态的主语)
The package (which / that)you are carrying is about to come
