关于定语从句（The Attributive Clause）在含有主句和从句的复合句中，用来修饰主句中的某一名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。它所修饰的词叫先行词。定语从句跟在先行词的后面。引导定语从句的词叫关系代词（that /which /who /whom /whose 等）或关系副词（when / where/why 等）。关系代词或关系副词放在先行词和定语从句之间起联系的作用，同时又充当定语从句中的一个成分，即从句中主语或宾语或状语。初中阶段主要初步学习由关系代词引导的定语从句。例一：This is the pen that (which) he is looking for .例二：Did you see the person who (that) stole the necklace ?关系代词的功能及选择关系代词的选择取决于两点：一是先行词是人还是物；二是关系代词在从句中作主语还是作宾语。1、 当先行词是人时，关系代词可用 who 或者 that ; 当先行词是物时，关系代词可用 which 或者 that 。例三：The boy who (that) is sitting in the sun is Tom .例四：The film that (which) they saw was very instructive .含有定语从句的名言名谚选读1.
