高考英语复习6.定语从句（语法）

高考英语复习6.定语从句（语法）语法讲座：定语从句一、先行词、关系代词和关系副词1．先行词(antecedent)就是被定语从句所修饰的名词。

在英语中，定语从句跟在被修饰词之后，所以被修饰词就是“先行”的词。

2．连接定语从句，要用关系代词(relative pronoun)和关系副词(relative adverb)。

关系代词和关系副词与连接词不完全相同，因为它们除了连接主句和定语从句，还在定语从句中代替一定的成分。

二、关系代词1．who先行词是“人”，在从句中代替主语。

注意：代替从句中的主语，who不能省略。

who的单复数由先行词决定。

但是要注意“one of +先行词”与“the only one of +先行词”的情况。

2．whom先行词是“人”，在从句中代替宾语。

whom在从句中经常可以省略，但如果在介词后面，则不能省。

3．which先行词是“物”，在从句中可以代替主语或宾语。

which代替主语时，不能省略，它的单复数由先行词决定。

which 代替宾语时则经常省略，但如果在介词后面，那么也不能省略。

which的先行词有时还可以是前面的整个句子，这时它总是看成单数，也不能省略。

4．that先行词可以是“人”，也可以是“物”，在从句中可以代替主语或者宾语。

that代替主语时，不能省略，代替宾语时则经常省略。

that不能用在介词之后。

在以下三种情况时，我们一般不用关系代词who, whom, 和which，而只用that：1）先行词是不定代词如anything, something, all等词，或由all, every, little, any, much, the very 等词所修饰；2）先行词前有最高级形容词或序数词所修饰；3）先行词是由and连接的两个词，分别指“人”和“物”。

5．whose先行词可以是“人”，也可以是“物”，在从句中代替定语。

whose不能省略。

如果先行词是“物”，我们也可以用sth. of which代替whose。

6．as先行词是“such+名词”，或者“the same +名词”，在从句中代替主语或者宾语。

as不能省略。

as的先行词有时还可以是一个句子，这个句子可以放在as之前，也可以放在as之后。

三、关系副词1．when先行词是表示时间的名词，如time, day, year, century等，when 在从句中代替时间状语。

when一般不能省略。

定语从句中，when可以用“介词+which”代替。

注意：表示时间的名词后面并不都是用when引导的定语从句，也可以是由which或that引导的定语从句。

2．where先行词是表示地点的名词，如place, room, house, school, factory等，where在从句中代替地点状语。

where一般不能省略。

定语从句中，where可以用“介词+which”代替。

注意：表示地点的名词后面并不一定都是用where引导的定语从句，也可以是由which或that 引导的定语从句。

3．why先行词是reason。

why一般不省略。

reason为先行词的时候，也可能是由which或that引导的从句。

四、限制性和非限制性定语从句限制性定语从句跟主句的关系比较密切，如果缺少，对方将不明白你要表达的确切的意思，它跟主句之间不用逗号隔开，中文翻译的时候，常把从句放在名词之前。

非限制性定语从句只出现在书面，一般情况下，没有这个定语从句，对方也不会误解，或者说，这类定语从句只是一种补充说明，它与主句之间要用逗号隔开，翻译成中文时，常为两个句子。

非限制性定语从句经常是用在先行词是专有名词的时候，或先行词表示的“人”或“物”是“独一无二的”。

非限制性定语从句不能用that连接。
