如何判断用关系副词还是关系代词?
选用定语从句的关系词时,需注意两点:
1.先行词
2.关系词在从句中充当的成分。
在从句中作主语、宾语、定语时用
在从句中作状语时用
关系代词
关系副词
How to use
方法一:先判断先行词在从句中充当什么成分, 在从句中作主语、宾语则选择关系代词,在从句中作状语则用关系副词。(或者看从句是否完整)
方法二:判断从句中谓语动词是 vt (及物动词) 还是vi (不及物动词),vt 后缺少宾语,则用关系代词,若是 vi,则用关系副词。
关系词的选择

1. This is the place _______________ he works.

Exercise
5. We are just to reach a point ___ both sides
will sit down together and talk.
A. where B. that C. when D. which
解析: 本句中先行词 a point 表示发展的阶段、地步,
为抽象地点,故选关系副词 where 引导定语从句。

6. The film brought the hours back to me _____ I was taken
good care of in that far-away village.
A. until B. that C. when D. where
解析: 本题考查定语从句,主句中的先行词 the hours 表示
时间,与关系词被其它成分隔开, 只要能够辨别真正的先行
词,且确定关系词在从句中作状语(= during the hours),
即可确定本题要选择表示时间的关系副词 when.
