一、基本概念关系副词的意思相当于“介词+which结构”,在定语从句中做状语的成分
拆分法分析几个句子,如下:1
Hewillalwaysrememberthedaywhen/onwhichhisfatherreturnedfromAmerica
他将永远记得父亲从美国返回的那一天拆分后:Hewillalwaysremembertheday
HisfatherreturnedfromAmericaontheday
Thiswasthetimewhen/atwhichsheleftforBeijing
这就是她动身去北京的时间
拆分后Thiswasthetime
Sheleftforbeijingatthetime
Idon'tknowthereasonwhy/forwhichhedidn'tcometothemeetingyesterdaymorning
我不知道他为什么没有参加昨天上午的会议
Idon'tknowthereason
Hedidn'tcometothemeetingyesterdaymorningforthereason
重要提示:在when、where、why关系副词引导的英语定语从句中,只会出现when、where、why或onwhich、atwhich、forwhich等等,绝对不会出现onwhen、atwhere、forwhy这种情况,因为关系副词引导的定语从句只能起状语作用,既不能做动词的宾语,也不能做介词的宾语
二、练习题选出正确的定语从句1、A
