 绿色的竹叶林 2012-03-25

语法The Attributive Clause定语从句A

一、语法术语及基本概念:

 1. 先行词 -----被定语从句所修饰的那个词。

2. 关系代词 关系副词-----用来引导定语从句的关联词。

关系代词 who, whom, whose, that, which

关系副词 when where why

3. 定语从句----一个句子用作某一名词或代词的定语时,我们称这个句子为定语从句。

二、关系代词的用法:

1). 先行词是人,关系代词在定语从句中做主语时,用 who that 来引导。e.g. Do you know the man who / that is standing over there?

 The girl who / that took you to my place is my friend.

2). 先行词是人,关系代词在定语从句中做宾语时,用 whom that 来引导,但通常可以省略。先行词是人,关系代词在介词后面必须用 whom,而且不能省略,也不能用 that

The boy (whom / that) we saw yesterday is Mr. Wang’s son.

 The old man with whom I often go to the films is my grandfather.

3). 先行词是物,关系代词在定语从句中做主语时,用 which that 来引导e.g. The train which / that has just left is for Guangzhou.

The earthquake which / that happened in 1906 was the biggest in American history.

 4). 先行词是物,关系代词在定语从句中做宾语时,用 which that 来引导,但通常可以省略。

e.g. The bird (which / that) we caught the other day flew away yesterday. The pen with which I am writing was bought in the Shopping Center.

三、关系代词做介词宾语的情况:

1). 关系代词做介词宾语时,我们可以将介词置于定语从句的句首放在关系代词前这时关系代词不能省略。我们也可以把介词仍放在定语从句的后部,当我们把介词放在定语从句的后部时,关系代词可以省略;也可以使用关系代词 that 

e.g. Do you know the man (whom / that) she was talking to?

= Do you know the man to whom she was talking ?

The clever boy made a hole in the wall, through which he could see what it was going on inside the house.

2). 介词前置有这样几个要求:

 a. 关系代词指人时,只能用介词+whom”,不能用介词+that;省略关系代词时,介词不能前置。

1. The boy (who / whom / that) you should write to is Tom.

 

2. The boy to whom you should write is Tom.

b. 关系代词指物时,只能用介词+which” 不能用介词+ that”,省略关系代词时, 介词不能前置。

1. This is the hospital (which / that) my sister was born in.

2. This is the hospital in which my sister was born .

c. 固定短语动词不能拆散使用。即:不能把其中的介词或副词移至从句的句首。1. This is the child (whom / that) she takes care of.

4. 关系代词 whose 的用法:

 1). 关系代词 whose 意思是谁的什么的;它是 who which 的所有格形式,它可以用来引导定语从句,并且在定语从句中做定语,修饰从句的主语或宾语。

e.g. This is the house whose door              faces east.

the door of which       faces east

of which the door       faces east.

 5. 关系代词 which as 在引导定语从句时的区别:

 1). 关系代词 which as 都能用来引导非限制性的定语从句,代表整个主句的内容。有时候可以互换使用。

e.g. She failed in the exam, which / as was natural.

 He is an honest boy, which / as anybody can see.

 2). 定语从句放在句首时,只能用 as 来引导,不能使用 whichas 引导的定语从句也可以放在句中。

 e.g. She comes from Africa, as can be seen from her skin. 句型转换(用 which____________________________________________________

As we all know, the earth moves around the sun. 句型转换(用宾语从句)__________________________________________________

3). as 在定语从句中做主语时,从句的谓语动词常常用被动语态;如果从句的谓语是主动语态,则用 which

e.g. As is well known to all, China is a developing country. 句型转换(用主语从句)__________________________________________________

She is from the south of China, which I know from her accent.

This kind of computer, as is well known, is out of date.

4). 非限制性的定语从句如果是否定句,则常常用 which 来引导。

 e.g. Tom made great progress in Chinese, which made us delighted.

6). as 常用于某些固定句型之中如 “as often happens”, “as was pointed out”, “as was said above”, “as I remember”, “as I understand”.

11. “one of the + 复数名词后面的定语从句中 谓语动词的单数与复数用法: He is one of the teachers that play basketball very well.

He is the only one of the teachers that is good at singing.

结论 A. 先行词是“one of the + 复数名词这一结构后面的定语从句中的谓语动词通常用复 数形式。

e.g. He is one of the few teachers who know Japanese well. She is one of the students who study very hard in Class I.

结论 B.如果“one of the + 复数名词这一结构前面带有 the only 之类的限定词,后面的定 语从句中的谓语动词通常用单数形式。这是因为定语从句在意义上修饰 the only one,而不 是那个复数名词。

e.g. Mr. Chen is the only one of the teachers who has published many English books in our school.

He is the only one of the students who studies very hard in Class III.
