定语从句讲解
在复合句中修饰名词或代词的从句是定语从句。被定语从句修饰的名词或代词叫先行词,定语从句必须放在先行词的后面。定语从句一般由关系代词that, which, who, whom, whose和关系副词 when, where, why引导。关系代词和关系副词有两个作用: 1 把主句与从句连接起来 2 在从句中担当一定的句子成分。关系代词在从句中可做主语,宾语,表语,定语;关系副词在从句中只能做状语。
(一)定从引导词
⑴由关系代词引导的定语从句
| ① | who先行词是人,在定从中可以做主语或宾语
The man who has no inner life is miserable. | | ② | which 先行词必须是物,在定从中可以做主语或宾语
Love is the key which opens the gate of happiness. | | ③ | that 先行词既可是人,又可是物,在定从中做主语或宾语
To live is an art that everyone must learn. | | ④ | whom 先行词是人,在定从中做宾语
It is unwise to make friends with those whom one does not know well. | | ⑤ | whose 先行词既可是人,又可是物,在定从中做定语
Success is a journey whose initial step is always tough. | ⑵关系副词引导的定从,where\why \ when 这三个词在定从中做状语,后面加一个完整句。
1. | There will be moments in life when one is presented with new options. | 2. | Work is the place where happiness lives. | 3. | Unsuccessful people can always find reasons why they are not doing well. | ㈡ 定从分类:
| Œ | 限制性定从:由一个定从直接加在先行词后,无逗号隔开,去掉后影响整句的意思。
Success is a process that begins from within.
Passion is any emotion that moves you. | | | 非限制性定从:与主句之间用逗号隔开,去掉后不影响整句的意思。
The youth need to have ambition and dreams, which are vital.
The youth need to have ambition and dreams, which is vital. | ㈢ 介词提前放在引导词前共有如下三种情况:
| ① | 定从中的某介词的需要:

Honesty is the foundation on which many other qualities are based. | | ② | 先行词决定:

(四) 只可用关系代词that的几种情况。
| 1. | 先行词为all, everything, nothing, something, anything, little, few, much等不定代词时。

| 1. | 在非限定性定语从句中,只宜用which, 不宜用that。
