定语从句: (Attributive Clause / Relative Clause) 1. 定义:一个句子做定语叫做定语从句。E.g. She is our new teacher who has just come back from the United States. 2. 先行词:被修饰的部分叫先行词。先行词可以是一个词,也可以是一个句子。定语从句一般要在先行词之后。E.g. a. This is the baby whom you will look after. b. They invited me to visit their country, which is very kind of them. 3. 关系词 1)关系代词:that, which, who, whom, as, 在从句中作主语,宾语或表语;作宾语时一般可省略;whose在从句中作定语。 E.g. a. That was all that I wanted to tell you about . b. A scientist is a person who does scientific research. c. The house whose door is brown is mine.
2)关系副词:where, when, why 在从句中作状语。 a. This is the school where I studied twenty years ago. b. I thought of my childhood when I lived in the village. c. That's the reason why I'm not in favour of your plan. 4. 该用关系副词还是关系代词先行词是表示时间或地点的名词时,并不都是用关系副词引导,而是要看关系词在从句中所作的成份。作状语时,用关系副词;作宾语时,仍然要用关系代词。a. She is going to spend the summer holidays in Qingdao, where she has some relatives. b. This is the place which I visited last year. c. Did you still remember the days when we spent together in Hainan? d. October 1st is the day which we Chinese people will never forget.
2)关系副词:where, when, why 在从句中作状语。 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。A. when, where, why 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,E.g. :a. There are occasions when (on which) one must yield. b. Beijing is the place where (in which) I was born. c. Is this the reason why (for which) he refused our offer? B. that代替关系副词that可以用于表示时间、地点、方式、理由的名词后取代when, where, why和“介词+ which”引导的定语从句,在口语中that常被省略,E.g. :His father died the year (that / when / in which) he was born. He is unlikely to find the place (that / where / in which) he lived forty years ago.
