定语从句错题集

2.定语从句在选择关连词that 与which时,常常容易出错,所以应记住什么时候只能用that,什么时候只能用which.(1).只能用that 的情况归纳4种:即先得词被序数词最高级修饰过;先行词为all 、everything、nothing等不定代词;先行词同时是人和物并列时;最后先行词分别被the only 、the very the same、the last 修饰。
(2) 只用which is 情况有两种情况:一是非限制性定语从句,关连词要用which;二是做介词宾语时只能用which。
三、在定语从句的非限制性定语中,which 和as 是容易混淆的。
在很多情况下两者兼可互换,但在下列情况中不可互换:1、通常As 可以放在整句的句首,而which,只能在逗号之后,as 本身含有“正如”,as 在定语从句中既可是主语也可做宾语As appear from her paper ,she has read widely in Romantic literature.She is remarkable, as I have told you .2、which 在做非限制性定语从句关联词时可以无明确先行词,指前句整个的意思,如:she has warried again,which surprises us .四、在定语从句中,许多人往往分不清all that 和what,what 实际上只引导名词性从句,它相当于all that两个字,例如:All that I know is that he has made up his mind to heave the country for a new place.= what I know is that ……1 ) 1.先行词(人)在从句中做主语或宾语关联词为who eg:who saved the .这就是救了孩子生命的医生。
(who who可以代替whom,也可以被省whom)2.先行词物在从句中做主语或宾语关联词为which eg:Please pass me the book which is lying on the table. 请递给我摆在桌上的那本书。
