我的领悟
1.关系副词when在定语从句中作时间状语(如句2、4);关系副词where在定语从句中作地点状语(如句1、5、6);关系副词why在定语从句中作原因状语(如句3)。
2.关系副词when, where 和why 相当于“介词+which”。
一、关系副词的指代及功能

reason
原因状语
1.关系副词when引导定语从句时,先行词应是表示时间的名词,关系词在从句中作时间状语(=at/in/on/during which)。
That happened last Sunday, when I saw you.
那件事发生在上周日,那天我见到了你。
2.关系副词where引导定语从句时,先行词应是表示地点或抽象地点的名词,关系词在从句中作地点状语(=at/in/on which)。
They went on to Beijing, where (=in which) they stayed for a week.
他们接着去了北京,在那儿待了一周。
3.关系副词why引导定语从句时,先行词必须为reason,关系词在从句中作原因状语(=for which)。
Can you explain the reason why (=for which) you dont help him?
你能解释一下不帮助他的理由吗?
二、关系代词和关系副词的判断
表示时间、地点及原因的名词作先行词时,定语从句可用关系代词引导,也可用关系副词引导。若关系词在定语从句中作状语,应用关系副词;若关系词在定语从句中作主语或宾语,则应用关系代词。
①Do you remember the days when we chatted with each other all night? (when作时间状语)
你还记得我们整夜聊天的那些日子吗?
②Do you remember the days that/which we spent together on the farm? (that或which作spent的宾语)
你还记得我们在农场一起度过的那些日子吗?
③I dont know the reason why he didnt turn to his good friend for help yesterday. (why作原因状语)
我不知道昨天他为什么没向他的好朋友求助。
④I wont listen to the reason that/which you have given us. (定语从句中缺少宾语,所以用that/which,不用why)
我坚决不听你给我们的那个理由。
