定 語 從 句

編寫人：陳尚琢

在復合句中修飾名詞或代詞的從句叫定語從句，被修飾的名詞或代詞叫先行詞，引導定語從句的詞叫關系代詞或關系副詞，關系代詞有that, which, who, whom, whose, as，關系副詞有when, where, why.

一、關系詞的基本用法

who 指人，在從句中作主語、賓語或表語

whom 指人，在從句中作賓語

whose 指人或物，在從句中作定語

that 指人或物，在從句中作主語、賓語或表語

which 指物，在從句中作主語或賓語

as 指人、物，在從句中作主語、賓語或表語

when 指時間，在從句中作時間狀語

where 指地點，在從句中作地點狀語

why 指原因，在從句中作原因狀語

（1）The man (whom /who/that) my mother saw in the street is my teacher.

（2）The book which/ that tells us about the earth is interesting.

（3）She lives in a house whose windows faces south.

（4）Do you know the boy whose father is an English teacher?

（5）I have never heard such stories as he tells.

（6）I’ll never forget the day when /on which I joined the army.

（7）I won’t forget the factory where / in which my father worked.

（8）Tell me the reason why you came late.

二、必須用“that”引導的定語從句

1、當先行詞是不定代詞all，little, few, much, anything , everything, none, nothing, no one, some等時。

He did everything that he could to help us.

2、先行詞被all, every, no , some, any , little, much, the only, the very, the right, last , few , just 等修飾時。

The only thing that we can do is to give you some advice.

3、先行詞被序數詞或形容詞最高級修飾時，或先行詞本身就是序數詞或形容詞

最高級時。

This is the most interesting film that I’ve ever seen.

4、當先行時前有such 或the same修飾時，先行詞和關系代詞指同一物時。

She is wearing the same dress that she wore yesterday.

5、先行詞既有人又有物時，

Later they talked of things and persons that they remembered in the school.

6、當主句是以who或which開始時的特殊疑問句時，

Who is the boy that won the gold medal?

7、在同一個句子里，若有兩個定語從句，其中一個關系詞已用了which， 另一個宜用that.

Edison built up a factory which produced things that had never been seen before.

8、當關系代詞在從句中作表語時。（只限于限制性定語從句中）

China is no longer the country that it used to be.

9、當先行詞是集體名詞時，多用that，

He wants to join the team that won the game.

10、that在有些句型中可作為關系副詞，且可省略。

I don’t like the way (that) he talks to me.

三、只用which不用that時情況

1、引導非限制性定語從句時，

Bruce went toward the fire, which was still smoking.

2、先行詞在從句中作介詞的賓語且介詞前置。

This is the house in which Lu Xun lived.

3、先行詞本身是that時，

What’s that which flashed in the sky just now?

4、先行詞后有插入語時，

Here is the English grammar book which, as I’ve told you, will help improve your English.

5、which 用作表語，指人時，一般指從事某種職業或是有某種特性、品質或才能的人。

He is an engineer, which I am not。

關系代as：在限制性定語從句中用在such, the same, as, so之后，as引導的定語從句常采用省略形式。

I have the same book as you（have）.

Take as many as you want.

Here is so big a stone as no man can lift.

This is such a book as was given to me.

四、關系代詞的省略情況

1、關系代在從句中作賓語時。

Have you received the book (that) I sent you last week?

2、關系代詞在從句中作表語時。

Mary is no longer the girl (that) she used to be.

3、關系代詞在從句中作介詞的賓語，而這個介詞又在句末時。

This is the artist (whom) I spoke to you about.

注意：關系代詞的省略是指在限制性定語從句中，在非限制性定語從句中，關系代詞不能省略。

五、帶介詞的定語從句

1、固定詞組，介詞置于后，關系代詞使用靈活。

This is the child (whom / who/ that) she is looking after.

2、非固定詞組，介詞位置靈活，關系代詞使用嚴格。

The man (whom/ who/ that) I spoke to is a friend of mine.

The man to whom I spoke is a friend of mine.

3、介詞詞組（關系代詞遠離先行詞）

In front of, on top of ,at the foot of, with the help of, as a result of.

We stand in a building in front of which stands a lab.

We arrived at a hill, on top of which stood a tower.

4、代詞/數詞+of +關系代詞

He has written many books, most of which are fo可以修飾名詞、

代詞、短語、主句的一部分或全句，它和主句之間常用逗號隔開，朗讀時前后有停頓。

I live in Beijing where my parents worked ten years ago.

His sister, who works in WuHan , is coming to see him tomorrow.

as 引導非限制性定語從句與which 的區別

1、用于非限制性定語從句時，可以指代整個主句的內容，as 和which 可以換用。

He left her, as/ which was strange.

2、as 姻骶淶墓叵凳分密切，不可用逗號隔開，在口語中前后沒有停頓?br>He is the man whose father died last week.

That is the reason why I didn’t open the door.

非限制性定語從句與主句的關系不十分密切，只是對先行詞起描述或補充說明的作用，省略后也不影響全句的意思，非限制性定語從句可以修飾名詞、

代詞、短語、主句的一部分或全句，它和主句之間常用逗號隔開，朗讀時前后有停頓。

I live in Beijing where my parents worked ten years ago.

His sister, who works in WuHan , is coming to see him tomorrow.

as 引導非限制性定語從句與which 的區別

1、用于非限制性定語從句時，可以指代整個主句的內容，as 和which 可以換用。

2、as 引導非限制性定語從句，指代整個主句的內容，從句可置于句首，句中和句尾。

As everyone knows, Tom is good at English.

The earth, as we know, moves round the sun.

3、非限制性定語從句中謂語為被動時，常用as 作主語。

as is said/ known/ announced/ reported/ mentioned/ expected/ disused等。

As is known to all, Taiwan is part of China.

4、as引導非限秩藎從句意思可與主句相反，即從句為否定式或帶否定前綴的形容詞?br>He can write a letter in English, which I cannot.

He was married again, which was unexpected.

1、（1）是用the one還是用that , which, where.

（2）Is this school _______ you study in?

（5）Is this school ______ is a senior one?

A. that/which B. where C. the one

D. the one where E. C9在句中或句尾。

（5）Is this school ______ is a senior one?

A. that/which B. where C. the one

D. the one where E. the one that / which

遇到這類句子，先將其變成肯定句，再看主句是否缺少表語。若缺表語，則必須用the one的形式，接著再看the one在從句中作什么成分，若作狀語，則必須用the one where，若作主語或賓語時，則用the one (that/ which)

2、是用when還是用that, which

（1）May 1 is the day ______ we spent toge I met you.

（2）定語從句與結果狀語從句的區別是看從句的邊接詞是否在從句中作成分，作成分的是定語從句；若連接詞在句中不作成分時，則為結果狀語從句。

試比較：

He is such a kind person as everybody likes.

He is such a kind person that everybody likes him.

The mews (that) he told us surprised us all.

5、way 后面的定語從句（用that/ in which 或省略）
