1.句1,3,4,5,6是限制性定语从句,句2,7,8是非限制性定语从句。它们在形式上的区别在于是否与主句用逗号隔开。
2.当先行词是不定代词,或被形容词最高级修饰时用that引导定语从句,如句1,4。
3.引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语/宾语只能用which或whom,不能用that,如句2,7。as引导非限制性定语从句,意思是“正如……”,如句8。
一、定语从句的概念及分类
1.定语从句
在复合句中,修饰名词或代词的从句叫作定语从句。
►The boy who is reading needs the pen which you bought yesterday.
那个在阅读的男孩需要你昨天买的钢笔。(定语从句作
后置定语)
2.先行词:被定语从句修饰的名(代)词或句子叫作先行词。
►This is the place which is worth visiting.
这是值得参观的地方。
►He laughs best who laughs last.
谁笑到最后,谁笑得最好。
3.关系词
引导定语从句的词叫作关系词。关系词包括关系代词和关系副词。关系词有三大作用:指代先行词,引导定语从句,在从句中作句子成分。
4.分类
(1)限制性定语从句
它是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语,如果去掉,主句的意思就不完整或失去意义。这种从句与主句的关系十分密切,书写时不可用逗号分开。如果关系代词在限制性定语从句中作宾语,关系代词通常可以省略。
►Do you know the girl who just came in?
你认识刚刚进来的那个女孩吗?
►The time when I first met Mr White was a very difficult period of my life.
我第一次遇见怀特先生的时候是在一个我一生中非常困难的时期。
(2)非限制性定语从句
它只是对先行词作附加补充说明,如果去掉,主句的意思仍然清楚完整。这种从句与主句的关系不是很密切,书写时往往用逗号分开。非限制性定语从句一般不用that引导。
►The old woman,who lives on her own,has a cat for company.这个老妇人一个人住,养了一只猫陪伴她。
►He whispered to me the news,which was really amazing.
他低声告诉我这个消息,它真令人惊叹。
[名师指津] 非限制性定语从句
(1)形式上:用逗号“,”与主句隔开。
(2)意义上:只是对先行词的补充说明,若删除,主句仍能表达完整的意思。
(3)译法上:通常译成主句的并列句。

(2)Football is a game that/which is liked by most boys.

二、非限制性定语从句中关系词的用法
1.who, whom, whose引导的非限制性定语从句
(1)关系代词who,whom引导的非限制性定语从句修饰人。
(2)关系代词who在定语从句中作主语、宾语或表语;whom作宾语;介词后用whom,不用who。
(3)whose作定语,先行词是人时,whose+n.相当于the+n.+ of whom。先行词是物时,whose+n.
