Unit 5 Nelson Mandela—a modern heroSection Ⅲ Grammar——定语从句(Ⅱ)[思维导图][语法精讲]一、关系副词引导的定语从句关系副词先行词功能when表示时间的名词时间状语where表示地点的名词地点状语whyreason原因状语1
when 表示时间,引导的从句修饰时间名词,在定语从句中作时间状语
I'll never forget the time when we worked on the farm
我将永远不会忘记我们在农场工作的时光
2.where 表示地点,引导的从句修饰地点名词,where 在定语从句中作地点状语
The hotel where we stayed was very clean
我们住的那个旅馆很干净
3.why 表示原因,其先行词一般是 reason,在定语从句中作原因状语
The reason why he was late was that he missed his train
他迟到的原因是他错过了火车
二、“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句当关系代词在定语从句中作介词的宾语时,我们通常用“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句
如果指“人”,用“介词+whom”
如果指“物”,用“介词+which”;关系代词有时也用whose(作定语)
选用介词的依据:1.根据定语从句中谓语动词的搭配习惯(即固定短语)
1Yesterday we visited the West Lake for which Hangzhou is famous
昨天我们参观了西湖,杭州因其而出名
(be famous for“因……而出名”)2.根据先行词的搭配习惯(约定俗成,不一定是短语)
This is the camera with which he often takes photos
这就是他经常用来拍照的
