“介词 + which / whom”引导的定语从句 “介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,是定语从句一种介词前置的定语从句句型,介词与关系代词之间存在一种介宾关系
当关系代词在定语从句中作介词宾语时,把介词置于关系代词前,即演变出“介词+关系代词"句型
例如: The man who/whom /that you spoke to is a teacher
=The man to whom you spoke is a teacher
一、基本构成 1
“介词+关系代词”结构引导的定语从句中,关系代词只能用 which(指物)或 whom(指人) ,即:介词+which/whom
(1)The man to whom you spoke is a teacher
(2)The city in which she lives is far away
(3)The little girl is reading a book,in which there are many cartoons
注意:当介词放在关系代词的前面时,用在介词后的关系代词不能省略
在限制性定语从句中,当介词置于定语从句的谓语动词之后时,可用 that/which(指物);that/who/whom(指人)作介词的宾语
且此处关系代词可以省略,特别是在口语中
如: (1) The man (who/whom /that )you spoke to is a teacher
(2)The city(which/that)she lives in is far away
注:通常介词放在定语从句中动词后,也可以放在关系代词前面,但有些特别动词短语搭配不能拆分,介词只能放在动词后,如: look for, look after, pay attention to ,take care of , look f
