定语从句要点回顾

I 定语从句的定义

在复合句中,修饰名词或者代词的从句叫定语从句。定语从句所修饰的词叫做先行词。如在课本中,(a)The man who lives next to us sells vegetable. (b) You must do everything that I can do. 斜体部分是先行词。黑体部分是定语从句。第一句中定语从句修饰的是“the man ”这个名词,而在第二句当中修饰的是“everything”这个代词。其中,“who”和“that”叫做关系代词。应到定语从句的词有关系代词that, which, who, whom, whose 和关系副词where, when, why. 同时“as”也经常充当关系代词,引导定语从句。

II 关系代词that, which, who(whom)引导的定语从句(基本例句见课本)

1,其中that, who(whom),都可以指人,那么他们在指人时有什么区别呢。[本条记忆技巧:用who 不用 that 的情况 “there be” “one,ones,anyone,nobody, those ” 被分割。***那里有(there)很多万(one)被那些人(those)分割。]

<1>先行词为those, one, anyone, nobody 等词时,用who不用that,例如:The one who knows me well is Tom.

<2>在分隔型定语从句中,若先行词是人,用 who不用that, 例:

A new teacher will come who will teach you German.

在本句中,先行词“teacher”和修饰限定它的从句 “who will teach you German ” 分离,所以我们用 who 不用 that。

<3>先行词为“there be”结构的主语时,例如

There is a man who wants to see you.

在本句子当中a man是There is a man 这句当中的主语,所以用who不用that

2其中,that 和 which 都可以指物,它们在指物时的区别:

(1) 用that不用which

<1>先行词前有形容词最高级,序数词,all, every, little, no, any, much, the only, the very, the last 等修饰时,例如:

I have read all the books that you gave me.

<2>先行词为all, few, nothing, everything, little, much 等不定代词时:

He did all that he could do to help us.

<3>主语以who或which开头时

Who is the man that just called you just now?

<4>关系代词在从句中做表语时

China is not the country that is was.

<5>既指人又指物时

He talked about the teachers and schools that he had visited.

2, 先行词表示物时, 用which不用that 的情况

<1> 引导非限制性定语从句时,例如:

She heard a terrible noise, which brought her heart to her mouth.

<2>当关系代词做介词宾语时,例如:

He wrote a book in which he could learn about his life.

在上一例句中,引导词 “which”作了介词 “in”的宾语,所以不可以用 “that”代替.

III由whose, when, where why 等引导的定语从句可参考课本内容。这里简单介绍一下非限制性定语从句和限制性定语从句。非限制性定语从句,从意义上来说,是对主语的补充说明,从结构上来看,先行词和定语从句之间用逗号隔开,He makes great progress in his English learning which makes his mother very happy.

IV 关于as

(1) 在一些结构,如“such …as” “the same…as” “as…as”等结构中,定语从句的引导词经常要用到as,例如

This is not such a book as I expected.

(2) the same as和the same that 的区别。例句:

This is the same tool as I used last time.

This is the same tool that I used last time.

在例句中,第一句的意思是这个工具和我上次用的一样,但是第二句的意思是这就是我上次用的工具

(3) as 和which 的比较

相同点:两者都可以引导非限制性定语从句,先行词都可以是整个句子,都可以在从句中做主语,宾语表语。

不同点<1>as 引导的从句可以放在句首和句尾,而which 引导的从句只可放在句尾。

<2>另外which 还有正如、正象的意思。

As Marx pointed out, labor created man himself.

当先行词,虽然表示时间地点,但是引导词在从句中不是做状语时,而是做宾语时,不能用when, where引导,而只能用that, which 等引导。比较以下两个句字:

I will never forget the days when I first went to Beijing .

I will never forget the days that (which) we spent together.
