IV.定语从句
(一)基本概念
1.由一个句子作定语,修饰句中一个名词或代词,有时也可以修饰整个句子或句中的部分内容,这样的从句就是定语从句,被其修饰的名词或代词叫先行词。
2.关系词分为两大类,即关系代词和关系副词,其作用一是引出一个定语从句,二是代替其所修饰的先行词,三是在句中充当某个句子成分。

(二)定语从句的注意点
本部分的内容比较复杂,为便于考生一目了然,我们试图用表格的形式呈现给考生。
1.that与which, who, whom的用法区别
情 况 |
用法说明 |
例 句 | |
只用that的情况 |
①先行词为all, everything, anything, nothing, little, much,等不定代词时 ②先行词被all, any, every, each, much, little, no, some, few等修饰时 ③先行词有形容词最高级和序数词修饰时 ④先行词既指人又指物时 ⑤先行词被the only, the very修饰时 ⑥句中已经有who或which时,为了避免重复时 |
①He told me everything that he knows. ②All the books that you offered has been given out. ③This is the best film that I have ever read. ④We talked about the persons and things that we remembered. ⑤He is the only man that I want to see. ⑥Who is the man that is making a speech? | |
只用which, who, whom的情况 |
①在非限制性定语从句中,只能用which指代物,用who/whom指人 ②在由"介词+关系代词"引导的定语从句中,只能用which指物,whom指人。 ③先行词本身是that时,关系词用which, 先行词为those, one, he时多用who。 |
①He has a son, who has gone abroad for further study. ②I like the person to whom the teacher is talking. ③Those who respect others are usually respected by others. | |
只用that,in which或不用关系词的情况 |
the way做先行词时 |
①Mary,there is one way that you could stop others talking about you and criticizing you. ②I was struck by the beauty of the way in which she stood. ③What surprised me was not what he said but _______ he said it. A. the way B. in the way that C. in the way D. the way which |
2.as、which和that的区别
从句 |
区 别 |
例 句 |
限制性 定语从句中 |
名词前有such和the same修饰时,关系代词用as,不能用which |
He is not such a fool as he looks. Don't read such books as you can't understand. |
非限制性 定语从句中 |
as和which都可以指代前面整个主句。如果有"正如,象"的含义,并可以放在主句前,也可以放在后面,那么用as;而which引导的从句只能放主句后,并无"正如"的意思。 |
They won the game, as we had expected. They won the game, which we hadn't expected. As is well known, he is a famous film star in the 1980s. |
the same... as和 the same ...that |
the same... as指同类事物 the same ...that 指原物 |
That's the same tool as I used last week.(同类工具,不是同一把) That's the same tool that I used last week.那就是我上周用过的工具。 |
3. where、when与why引导的定语从句
关系副词 |
用 法 |
例 句 |
where |
关系副词where引导定语从句时,只能在定语从句中作地点状语,其修饰的名词必须是表示(具体或抽象的)地点的名词。 |
We're just trying to teach a point___both sides will sit down together and talk. A. where B. that C. when D. which |
when |
关系副词 when引导定语从句时, 只能在定语从句中作时间状语,其修饰的名词必须是表示时间的名词。 |
