定语从句
一、限定性定语从句
(一)、定义
在复合句中用充当定语成分的句子叫作定语从句,用来修饰、限定、说明名词或代词的品质与特征。
【例】
This is my friend who gets angry easily.
The man who lives next to us is a policeman.
1. 什么是定语?
a beautiful girl 一个漂亮的女孩
a story book 一本故事书
a girl in red 一个穿着红色衣服的女孩
a friend to leave 一位将要离开的朋友
a developing country 一个发展中国家
a developed country 一个发达国家
定语是用来修饰、限定、说明名词(短语)或代词的品质或特征的词、短语,通常由名词(短语)、形容词(形容词性物主代词)、介词短语或非谓语(现在分词,过去分词,动词不定式)等来充当。
(二)、位置
被修饰的名词(先行词)的后面。
注:定语从句三要素
1. 先行词:被定语从句所修饰的名词或者代词。“先行”一步的东西或人,走在定语从句前面。
2. 定语从句:修饰某一名词或者代词,充当定语成分的句子。像个跟屁虫,跟在先行词后面,用来修饰先行词。
3. 关系词:引导定语从句的词。关系词包括关系代词和关系副词。
像关系调和剂,想办法让定语从句和先行词搭上关系。
注:关系词VS连接词/引导词
1. 连接/引导作用(同其它从句)
2. 代替作用(代替先行词)
3. 充当成分作用。
关系词代替先行词,在定语从句中充当一定的成分。
【例】
I helped an old man who lost his way.
He is the boy whom you want to play with.
我帮助了一位老人。
I helped an old man.
这位老人迷路了。
An old man lost his way.
我帮助了一位迷路的老人。
I helped an old man An old man lost his way.
I helped an old man who lost his way.
(三)、关系词
1.关系代词that, which, who /whom, whose, as
关系代词指代人或者物,在定语从句中充当主语,宾语,定语等成分。
(1).指人
who指人,在定语从句中充当主语。
The boys who are playing football are from Class One. 正在踢足球的男孩们来自一班。
Yesterday I helped an old man who lost his way. 昨天我帮助了一位迷路的老人。
whom指人,在定语从句中充当宾语,常用who代替,可省略。
Mr. Liu is the person (who/whom) you talked about. 刘先生就是你谈到的那个人。
The man (who/whom) you met just now is my friend. 你刚才见到的那个人是我的朋友。
(2).which指物,在定语从句中充当主语或者宾语,作宾语时可省略。
Football is a game which is liked by most boys.
足球是大部分男孩喜欢的游戏。(which在句子中作主语)
This is the pen (which) he bought yesterday.
这是他昨天买的笔。(which在句子中做宾语)
注:
that指人时,相当于who或者whom;指物时,相当于which。在定语从句中充当主语或者宾语,作宾语时可省略。
(3).whose通常指人,也可指物的,在定语从句中充当定语。
He has a friend whose father is a doctor. 他有一个爸爸是医生的朋友。
I lived in a house whose roof has fallen in. 我过去住在一个屋顶塌陷的房子里。
注:whose指物时,常用以下结构来代替
whose+n.=the+n.+of+which/whom

=The classroom the door of which is broken will soon be repaired.
门坏掉的那个教室将很快被修理。
Do you like the book whose color is yellow?=Do you like the book the color of which is yellow?
你喜欢那本颜色是黄色的书吗?
2.关系副词when, where, why
关系副词在引导定语从句时,其功能相当于介词短语,在句中作状语。when, where, why在定语从句中分别作时间状语、地点状语和原因状语。
1. when
先行词是表示时间的名词(如time,day,year,month, week等),且关系词在从句中作时间状语时,定语从句用 when引导。
I still remember the day when I first met him.
Winter is the time of a year when the day is short but the night is long.
注:
1. when可以换成"介词+which"
I still remember the day when/on which I first met him.
Winter is the time of year when/ in which the day is short but the night is long.
2. 如果先行词是时间名词但关系词在定语从句中做主语或宾语,则用which或that引导。
I still remember the day which/that was his 100th birthday.
I will never forget the days that / which we spent together.
2.where
先行词是表示地点名词如place, factory, house等或抽象地点名词case,state, condition, point, situation
且在定语从句中作状语,则用where。

I know a place where we can have a picnic.
注:
1. where可以换成"介词+which"
Shanghai is the city where / in which I was born.
I know a place where / in which we can have a picnic.
2. 如果先行词是地点名词但关系词在定语从句中做主语或宾语,则用which或that引导。
Shanghai is the city which/that I want to visit.
I know a place which / that is famous for scenery.
3. why
先行词是表示原因的名词reason, 且关系词在从句中作原因状语时,定语从句用why引导。

You should tell me the reason why you missed the plane.
注:
1. why可以换成for which。
This is the reason why /for which he left in a hurry.
You should tell me the reason why /for which you missed the plane.
2. 若先行词为reason,且关系词在定语从句中不作状语,而是 充当主语或宾语,则用which或that引导。
I didn’t believe the reason (that/which) he explained to me
The reason that he told me yesterday is a lie.
注: 限制性定语从句中只能用that 引导定语从句的情况
1. 当先行词是everything, anything, nothing (something 除外), all, none, few, little, some等不定代词时
或当先行词受every, any, all, some, no, little, few, much等不定代词修饰时。
She told me the everything that she knew.

2. 行词前面有序数词/最高级 或者被序数词/最高级修饰时。

1. 当先行词前面有who, which等疑问代词时。

Which is the T-shirt that fits me most?
同位语从句与定语从句的区别
1.被修饰的词不同:同位语从句的前面一般是不可数的表示抽象意义的名词;而定语从句的先行词是具体的名词。
The news that the health hazzard around the world is coming make us worried.(同位语从句)
世界各地的健康危害即将来临的消息使我们感到担忧。
I am a student who is study in South China Normal University.(定语从句)
我是一名就读于华南师范大学的学生。
2.从句的作用不同:同位语从句表示同位名词的具体内容,而定语从句是对先行词的限制、描绘或说明。
The news that we have won the football match is true.(同位语从句)
我们赢得足球比赛的消息是真的。
The news that Jackson told me yesterday was fake.(定语从句)
杰克逊昨天告诉我的消息是假的。
3.引导词不同:what, how, whether等不能用引导定语从句,但可用于引导同位从句。
The argument whether we should take for granted has not been discussed.(同位语从句)
我们是否应该视之为理所当然的争论还没有被讨论。
The order that Jackson received yesterday was that we would send some people to help the housewife ease the burden of housework.(定语从句)
杰克逊昨天接到的命令是,我们要派一些人去帮助那位家庭主妇减轻家务的负担。
4.引导词的作用不同:引导同位语从句的that是连词,在从句中不充当任何成分;而引导定语从句的that为关系代词,在从句中充当一定的句子成分。
The news that has won the football match made me happy.(定语从句)
赢得足球比赛的消息使我很高兴。
The news that the coach come back made me happy.(同位语从句)
教练回来的消息让我很高兴。
5.判定定语从句和同位语从句的方法:由于同位语从句是用以说明被修饰名词的具体内容的,所它可以转换同位名词的表语;而定语从句则不能作这种转换。
In the morning, Jackson read a kind of novel that Mary had recommended to me.(定语从句)
早上,杰克逊读了玛丽推荐给我的一种小说。
The real news that we have lost the basketball game can not be accepted by the public.(同位语从句)
2、 非限定性定语从句
