一、定语从句的形式1.定语从句:修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫定语从句
定语从句一般紧跟在它所修饰的先行词之后
2.先行词:被定语从句修饰的词叫,短语或句子叫先行词
3.关系词:引导定语从句的词叫关系词
关系词有关系代词和关系副词
关系代词有 that, which, who, whom, whose, as 等;关系副词有 when, where, why 等
关系词通常有下列三个作用:A、引导定语从句;B、代替先行词;C、在定语从句中担当一个成分
例如: The man who is shaking hands with my father is a policeman
该句中,who is shaking hands with my father 是定语从句,修饰先行词 the man, "who"是引导定语从句的关系词,代替先行词 the man,在定语从句中作主语
二、关系词的选择1.选用哪个关系词,关键是看关系词在定语从句中作什么成分含有定语从句的复合句可以分为两部分:主句和从句
关系词是定语从句的一个成分
选用关系词,要看关系词在定语从句中作什么成分,而不是看先行词是什么词性
句 1:He worked in the factory which produces TV sets
句 2:He worked in the factory where his father had worked
句 3:I like the school which is near to my home
句 4:I like the school where my sister studies
在句 1 和句 2 中,先行词前都有 in, 但关系词有用 which 也有用 where 的;在句 3 和句 4 中,先行词都是 the school, 但关系词有用 which 也有用
