Grammar II定语从句
定语从句(Attributive Clauses)在句中做定语,修饰一个名词或代词,被修饰的名词,词组或代词即先行词。定语从句通常出现在先行词之后,由关系词(关系代词或关系副词)引出。
关系代词有:who, whom, whose, that, which等。
关系副词有:when, where, why等。
I. 关系代词引导的定语从句
关系代词所代替的先行词是人或物的名词或代词,并在句中充当主语、宾语、定语等成分。关系代词在定语从句中作主语时,从句谓语动词的人称和数要和先行词保持一致。
1. 指人 作 主语:who , that
(1). Is he the man who/that wants to see you? (who/that在从句中作主语)
2. 指人 作 宾语:whom, that (可以省略)
宾语可以是动词宾语,或介词宾语,如果介词在关系代词前就不可省略,且只能用 whom
(1). He is the man whom/ that I saw yesterday. (whom/that在从句中作宾语)
3. 指物 作主语: which , that
作宾语: which , that (可省,介词后不能省且只能用which)
(1). The bike which /that is made in Japan belongs to him.
(2).The
package (which / that) you are carrying is about to come unwrapped.
你拿的包快散了。(which / that在句中作宾语)
4. 指物的 作定语 whose (of which)
指人的 作定语 whose (of whom)
(1). Please pass me the book whose cover (the cover of which) is green.
请递给我那本绿皮的书。
(2). I know the girl whose father (father of whom) is a teacher.
关系代词that 的用法
1)不用that的情况
a) 引导非限定性定语从句时。例如:
(错)The tree, that is four hundred years old, is very famous here.
b) 介词后不能用。例如:
We depend on the land from which we get our food. 我们依赖土地获得食物。
We depend on the land that/which we get our food from.
2) 只能用that作为定语从句的关系代词的情况
a) 在there be 句型中,只用that,不用which。
b) 在不定代词,如:anything, nothing, the one, all, much, few, any, little等作先行词时,只用that,不用which。
c) 先行词有the only, the very修饰时,只用that。
d) 先行词为序数词、数词、形容词最高级时,只用that。.
e) 先行词既有人,又有物时。例如:
II. 关系副词引导的定语从句
关系副词可代替的先行词是时间、地点或理由的名词,在从句中作状语。关系副词when, where, why的含义相当于"介词+ which"结构,因此常常和"介词+ which"结构交替使用。
1.when = 介词+which 表示时间状语
(1).I still remember the day when (on which ) I fisrt met him.
(2).Do you remember the day on which you joined our club?
2. where =介词+which 表示地点状语
(1).Beijing is the place where(in which) I was born. 北京是我的出生地。
(2).This is the house in which(where) I lived two years ago.
3. why =for which 表示原因状语 (先行词一般为 reason ,reason 可以没有)
Is this the reason why (for which) he refused our offer? 这就是他拒绝我们帮助他的理由吗?
一.判断关系代词与关系副词
方法一: 用关系代词,还是关系副词完全取决于从句中的谓语动词。及物动词后面无宾语,就必须要求用关系代词;而不及物动词则要求用关系副词。例如:
This is the mountain village where I stayed last year. 这是我去年呆过的山村。
I'll never forget the days when I worked together with you.我永远不会忘记与你共事的日子。
判断改错:
(错) This is the mountain village where I visited last year.
(错) I will never forget the days when I spent in the countryside.
(对) This is the mountain village (which) I visited last year.
(对) I'll never forget the days (which) I spent in the countryside.
方法二:准确判断先行词在定语从句中的成分(主、谓、宾、定、状)也能正确选择出关系代词/关系副词。
例1. Is this museum ___ you visited a few days age?
A. where B. that C. on which D. the one
例2. Is this the museum ____ the
exhibition was held. (in the museum)
A. where B. that C. on which D. the one
关系词的选择依据在从句中所做的成分,先行词在从句中做主、定、宾语时,选择关系代词(who, whom, that, which, whose); 先行词在从句中做状语时,应选择关系副词 ( where 地点状语,when 时间状语,why 原因状语) 。
III.限制性和非限制性定语从句
1) 定语从句有限制性和非限制性两种。限制性定语从句是先行词不可缺少的部分,去掉它主句意思往往不明确;非限制性定语从句是先行词的附加说明,去掉了也不会影响主句的意思,它与主句之间通常用逗号分开。
(1).This is the house which we bought last month. 这是我们上个月买的那幢房子。(限制性)
(2).The house, which we bought last month, is very nice.
这幢房子很漂亮,是我们上个月买的。(非限制性)
(3). Charles Smith, who was my former teacher,
retired last year.
(4). This novel, which I have read three times, is very touching.
2).非限制性定语从句还能将整个主句作为先行词, 对其进行修饰, 这时从句谓语动词要用第三人称单数,
He seems not to have grasped what I meant, which greatly upsets me.
他似乎没抓住我的意思,这使我心烦。
