語法定語從句

定語從句

定語從句與引導詞

定語從句是在複合句中修飾某一名詞或代詞的從句。被修飾的名詞或代詞叫做選行詞,

而引導定語從句的詞叫引導詞,有關係代詞和關係副詞兩類。

懂得什麼樣的先行詞後用什麼樣的引導詞是學好定語從句的關鍵。

關係代詞有:that,which,who,whom,whose,在定語從句中作主語、賓語中表語,whose

作定語。代人的有:who,whom,whose,that;代物的有:that,which,whose。例如:

The man who helped you is Mr White。(who代人,在定語從句中作主語)

That is the person(whom/who/that) you want to see。(whom,who,that代人,在定

語從句中作賓語,可省略)

Im not the fool(that) you thought me to be。(that代人,在定從中作表語)

A dictionary is a useful book which(=that) tells us the meaning of words(which

或that代物,在定從中作主語)

關係副詞有:when(指時間),where(指地點),why(指原因),在定語從句中作狀語。

例如:Would you suggest a time(when) we can have a talk?(when可省略)

The house where they live is not very large。/This is the reason why he did not came to the meeting。

注意:不是表時間的先行詞都用when引導定從,不是表地點的先行詞都用where引導定從。例如:Well visit the factory which(=that) makes radios。

(which或that在定從中作主語,where不可用主語,故不可用)

They still remember the happy days(which/that) they spent in Beidaihe。

(which或that在定從中作spent的賓語,when不可作賓語,故不可用)

二、限制性定語從句與非限制性定語從句

限制性定語從句和主句之間不用逗號分開,修飾主句中的某一個名詞或名詞片語或代

詞;非限制性定語從句常用逗號和主句隔開,可以修飾主句中的某一個詞,也可修飾整個句子。非限制性定語從句不能用that引導,引導非限制性定語從句的關係詞不能省略。非限制性定語從句例:Li Pings father, who works in a factory, is an engineer。/He tore up my photo, which made me very angry。(which指代主句內容,因前後兩句是因果關係,此時which不可換為as。)

He is good at physics, as is known to us all。=As is known to us all, he is good at physics。(as指代主句內容,在as is known/believed, as we all know/believe這類結構中as不可換為which)

只用that引導和不用that引導的場合

只用that引導和不用that引導的場合

當先行詞既包括人又包括物時:He talked about the men and the books that attracted

him。

指物的先行詞被any, every, only, very, all, no等修飾時:These are the very points that interest me。/Thats the only watch that I like most。

指物的先行詞被序數詞或形容詞最高階修飾時:The first step that we are to take is very difficult。/This is the second card that he gave me。

先行詞是指物的不定代詞all,little,few,much,及everything,anything,nothing等時:There is still much that can be done about it。/Have you got everything that you need?

先行詞是who時:Who that have seen him does not like him?

不用that的場合如下:

1)非限制性定語從句中 Last night ,I saw a very good film,which was about the Long

March 。

2)介詞放在關係代詞之前時 This is the man from whom I learnt the news

3)句中出現了that,或先行詞是that時 I have found that which I was looking for。

四、“介詞+關係代詞”用法

介詞的確定應依據定語從句中短語的習慣性搭配,例如:Who is the girl with whom you just shook hands?(shake hands with…是習慣性搭配)

介詞常受先行詞的制約(即介詞和先行詞的搭配),例如:He built a telescope through which he could study the skies。(through which 即through the telescope)

當關系代詞作“動詞+介詞”固定短語的賓語時,此時因定短語中的介詞不能拆開移到關係代詞前。例如:This is the watch which youre looking for。/He is a kind of man whom you can safely depend on。

五、幾個名詞後的引導詞

situation後常用where,in which引導定語從句:Can you imagine a situation where/in

which you can use the word?

way(方式,方法)後常用in which或that或how引導定語從句,也可省略:Do you know the way(in which/that/how) he worked out the problem?

“the same+名詞”,“such+名詞”,“as+名詞”後通常用as引導定語從句。

例如:I have the same dictionary as you(have)。/Such a book as you bought is not worth buying。

定語從句考點分析

The best work ______ Luxun wrote and ______ I have read has been made into a film。

A。which;that B。that;× C。×;that D。×;×

析:如果兩個定語從句並列,關係代詞作賓語時前一句的可以省略,但後一句的不可省略,故應選C。

It was in 1969 ______ two Americans got to the moon by space ship。

It was 1969 ______ two Amerians got to the moon by space ship。

A。when B。which C。that D。×

析:第一句是強調時間in 1969,強調結構是“It was+強調部分+that句”,故應選C。第二句It是表時間的,先行詞1969在從句中作狀語,故選A。

Is this the house ______ Shakespeare was born?

A。at which B。which C。in which D。at where

析:觀察題目,空白處只有填in which或where才能表達“這是莎士比亞出生的房子嗎?”這一意思,故答案為C。

Is this house ______ Shakespeare was born?

A。where B。which C。in which D。at which

析:將此句變為陳述句;This house is ______ Shakespeare was born。顯然is後是一表語從句,只有選where(=the place where)才能表達“這是莎士比亞的出生地”這一意思,故答案為A。

In the dark street,there wasn’t a single person ______ she could turn for

help。

A。to whom B。of whom C。from whom D。that

析:“介詞+關係代詞”要考慮短語搭配或與先行搭配,這道題短語turn to有關,故

應選A。

The two things ______ they felt very proud were Jims gold watch and Dellas

hair。

A.about which B。of which C。in which D。for which

析:涉及be/feel proud of短語,故答案為B。

Have you ever asked him the reason ______ may explain his being late。

A。why B。that C。for which D。what

析:此題易誤選A、C,因為先行詞是the reason,但細觀察分析,定語從句缺少主語,所以答案是B。注意what不能引導定語從句。

Farming is difficult ______ there is no rain。

A。where B。in place C。that D。the place where

析:因為difficult是形容詞,故其後不是定語從句。這兒的空白處應填引導狀語從句where(=in the place where),全句表達“在沒有雨水的地方耕種困難”。這一意思,可見答案為A。

We need the same machine ______ in your factory。

A。which is being used B。as is being used

C。that is being used D。as it is being used

析:根據“the same+先行詞”後跟as引導定語從句的原則,可知答案為B。

10.______ the people,not things ______ are most important。

A。There are;who B。Those are;that C。It is;that D。It was;who

析:仔細觀察分析題目,可知只有C構成強調句才有成立。當我們要檢驗視其為強調

句的判斷是否正確時,只要將“It is (或was)…that”這三個詞去掉,剩下部分讀

起來正確無誤,則證明判斷是正確的,反之是錯誤的。此題如不填“It is…that”

三詞,句子是The people,not things are most important。語義完整正確,說明選

C是對的。
