定语从句
一、定语从句的定义
一个句子跟在一个名词或代词后,对这个名词代词进行限定的句子就叫定语从句。
1.先行词:被修饰的名词或代词
2.关系词:引导定语从句的词
3.定语从句结构=先行词+关系词+从句
二、关系词在句中的作用
1.连接主句和定语从句
2.指代前面的先行词
3.在定语从句中担当成分

whose

三、关系词的选择
定语从句会不会用,关键在于选对关系词,关系词的选择可根据2种情况来定:
1.看先行词
⑴先行词是“物”:which,that,whose,where,when,why
⑵先行词是“人”:who,whom,that, whose
2.看关系词在定语从句中所担任的成分
⑴先行词:人+主语→who/that
He is a man who never breaks his word.
⑵先行词:人+宾语→whom/that
He is the man whom I think to be nice.
⑶先行词:物+主语→that/which
The dog that/which won the race is Joe's.
⑷先行词:物+宾语→that/which(可省略)
The letter (that/which) I received yesterday was from my brother.
⑸先行词:物/人+定语→whose
That is a book whose cover is blue.
whose = of which(修饰物) /of whom(修饰人)
限定性定语从句和非限定性定语从句
一、区别
1.形式上:
非限定性定语从句:关系词前一定有逗号
限定性定语从句:没有逗号
2.功能上:
非限定性定语从句:补充说明作用,缺少不会影响全句的理解
限定性定语从句:对先行词的意义进行修饰和限制,如果去掉,就
会造成句意不完整。
3.关系词不同:
⑴关系词that/why只用于限定
⑵关系词在句中作宾语:限定性定语从句可省略,而非限定性定语从句不可省
4.先行词不同:
限定性定语从句:先行词只能是名词或代词。
非限定性定语从句:可以是名词或代词,也可以是短语或句子。
例:
Peter drove too fast,which was dangerous.
短语
He changed his mind,which made me very angry.
句子
二、关系词只能选that
1.当先行词为不定代词时,如 something,anything,nothing等
例:Is there anything that I can do for you?
2.当先行词为不定代词all时
例:He does all that he can to do his work well.
3.当先行词被all,some,any修饰时
例:These are all the things that I have done today.
4.当先行词被 the only, the very修饰时
例:This is the only computer that he often turns to for help.
5.当先行词被序数词、形容词最高级修饰时
例:This is the most interesting book that is sold in the library.
6.当先行词既有人又有物时
例:The writer and his novel that you have just talked about are known.
7.以who开头的特殊疑问句
例:Who is the person that is sitting on the ground?
8.当先行词在主句中作表语或关系代词在从句中作表语时
例:It's book that will help you a lot.
三、关系词只能用which
1.在非限制性定语从句中
例:This is my favorite pen, which I bought yesterday.
2.先行词是一个句子时
例:The boy is very polite,which makes his parents happy.
3.当先行词指物,用“介词+which”
例:This is the pen with
