1、 定语从句用法详解英语句子中用来修饰名词、代词或句子的从句叫做定语从句。定语从句在句子中的作用相当于形容词，因此也被称为形容词性从句，它可以用来修饰一个名词或代词，也可用来修饰句子中的某个短语，甚至整个句子。1. 被定语从句修饰的词称为先行词。2. 引导定语从句的词被称为关系词，它包括关系代词和关系副词两种。I 定语从句中关系词的分类及用法 关系词不仅在先行词与定语从句之间起连接作用，而且作从句中的一个成分。 关系词例词所修饰的先行词在从句中所作成分省略情况关系代词who人主语、宾语作宾语时可省略关系代词whom人宾语可省略关系代词which物主语、宾语作宾语时可省略关系代词that人或物主语

3、e same company. 他有两个在同一家公司工作的儿子。 2）Ill never forget the day when we first met each other. 我将永远忘不了我们初次见面的那一天。 3）This is the factory where/in which I worked ten years ago. 这是我十年前工作过的工厂。2. 非限制性定语从句：非限制性定语从句对先行词或主句起补充说明的作用，即使省去也 不影响主句的语义完整性。非限制性定语从句与先行词或主句之间常 用逗号隔开。 Yesterday Jimmy left for Canada, wher

4、e he had stayed for two years. 昨天吉米动身到加拿大去了，他曾在那儿呆过两年。 We have three foreign teachers, two of whom are from America. 我们有三个外教，其中两个来自美国。3. 间隔式定语从句：间隔式定语从句是指为了某种特殊的需要，与先行词分离的定语从句。 The day will come when the people all over the world will win peace. 全世界人民得到和平的日子就要到来了。 There are altogether eleven books o

5、n the shelf, of which five are mine. 书架上共有十一本书，其中五本是我的。III关系代词引导的定语从句1. 关系代词的作用：1）代替先行词 2）连接先行词与定语从句 3）在定语从句中作句子成分注意：关系代词的用法与分类有三点依据：1） 根据所引导的从句的限制性和非限制性；2） 根据所替代的先行词是指人还是指物；3） 根据它在从句中所充当的成分-主语、宾语、表语或定语。2. 关系代词的用法：关系代词指代的是先行词，在定语从句中作主语、宾语、表语等。 作宾语时，口语中常可以省略； 如果关系代词作介词的宾语且介词提到关系代词的前面时，关系代词不能省略。1） who

6、; whom; whose who, whom二者都用于指人。who在定语从句中作主语、宾语，whom在定语从句中作 宾语。 作宾语时二者可以换用，也可省略； 但在宾语且介词提到关系代词的前面时，关系代词不能省略。 The policeman to whom I spoke is my brother. 刚才和我讲话的那个警察是我弟弟。（作介词宾语） He is a man who doesnt care about anything. 他是个对什么都不在乎的人。（作主语） Yesterday I happened to meet the professor (who/whom)I got t

9、非医生的建议）2） which: which 指代事物，可做主语、宾语等，作宾语时可以省略。 The letter which came this morning is from my father. 今天早晨收到的那封信是我父亲寄来的。（作主语） This is the necklace (which)I received as a birthday present. 这就是我收到的作为生日礼物的那条项链。（作宾语） 在非限制性定语从句中，只用which。 The house, which we bought last month, is very nice. 我们上个月买的这幢房子很漂亮。
