一、关系副词引导的定语从句
关系副词和“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句
关系副词 先行词 在从句中
所作成分
when = 介词(at/on/in/during)+which 时间 时间状语
where = 介词(at/in/on/from)+which 地点 地点状语
why = for+which 原因 原因状语
1.when的用法
when指时间,在定语从句中作时间状语。它的先行词通常为time,day,morning,night,week,year等表示时间的名词。
I’ll never forget the time when we visited Xi’an.
Do you remember the day when we first met?
先行词是表示时间的词时,关系词是否用when,还需要判断关系词在从句中所作的成分。若做主语或宾语,则用that或which。
We still remember the days when we spent our holiday together.
We still remember the days (that/which) we spent together.
2.where的用法
where指地点,在定语从句中作地点状语。它的先行词通常为place,spot,street,house,room,city,town,country等表示地点的名词或point (地步),case(情况),situation(情形),position(位置),stage(阶段)等表示抽象地点的名词。
I recently went back to the town where my father was born.
What are some situations where body language is the only form of communication?
先行词是表示地点的词时,关系词是否用where,还需要判断关系词在从句中所作的成分。若做主语或宾语,则用that或which。
This is the house where we visited the famous writer last year.
The house (that/which) we visited last year is over 500 years old.
3.why的用法
why指原因或理由,它的先行词只有reason,why在限制性定语从句中作原因状语。
That’s the reason why (= for which) he missed his bus.
I didn’t get a pay rise, but this wasn’t the reason why (= for which) I left.
注意:why只用于限制性定语从句中,在非限制性定语从句中用for which。
I had told them the reason, for which I didn’t attend the meeting.
先行词是reason时,关系词是否用why,还需要判断关系词在从句中所作的成分。若做主语或宾语,则用that或which。
This is the reason why he was late.
Please tell me the reason (that/which) he explained to you.
4.the way作先行词
首先要确定关系词在定语从句中作什么成分。
(1)如果关系词在定语从句中作主语或宾语,则用关系代词that或which。
The way (that/which) he thought of to solve the problem was not practical.
(2)如果关系词在定语从句中作状语,则用关系词in which,that或省略。
This is the way (that/in which) he learns English.
