定语从句重、难点易错档案一、语意重复
定语从句的引导词在从句中都要充当一定的成分,所以从句里相应的句子成分不能再保留,否则就犯了语意重复的错误
如:The main topic people are often talking about at present is personal cars
The main topic 是先行词,关系代词 that 或 which 在从句中作宾语,被省略了,所以做宾语的替代词 it 不能再出现了
二、分裂现象
如无特殊原因,定语从句应紧跟在先行词之后
如:Everything that has weight and occupies space is called matter
初学者很容易将此意表达成:Everything is called matter that has weight and occupies space
这就是人为地造成的分裂现象
但是有时定语从句和先行词之间需要插入定语、状语或谓语时则另当别论
如:There is an expression in his eyes that I cannot understand
先行词与定语从句之间被 in his eyes 隔开了
三、主、谓不一致
当关系代词在从句中作主语时,从句的谓语动词应该和先行词的数与格保持一致,否则就是犯了主、谓不一致的错误
如:God bless this ship and all that sail in her
(Bible)本例先行词 all 指的是“所有的人”,所以定语从句的谓语不能用 sails
四、关系代词 that、who 直接置于介词后
关系代词前有介词时,关系代词必须用 which(指物)或 whom (指人),而且不能省略
如果把介词放到句子的后部去,这时关系代词可用 that 或who,也可以把它们省略
如:The c
