第七章 定语从句
相关概念
主句、从句、关系词
例句:This is the boy who won the first prize in the English Speech Competition.
主句:在含有定语从句的复合句中,除去定语从句后的部分,是句子的主句。 (例句中,This is the boy.是主句。)
定语从句:相当于形容词,修饰主句中的一个名词或代词(有时修饰整个主句,相当于主句的一个定语。) (例句中,who won the first prize in the English Speech Competition是定语从句,修饰the boy。)
先行词:先行词就是被定语从句修饰的名词等,它总是出现在定语从句的前面。 (例句中,the boy是先行词。)
关系词:关系词指用来引导定语从句的词,分为关系代词和关系副词。(例句中,who是关系代词。)
关系词的三个作用
作定语从句的一个句子成分。
起着连接主句和从句的作用(参看P. 63考点5)。
代指被修饰的先行词。(例句中,who作定语从句的主语,同时起着连接作用,在意思上,指代的是前面的先行词the boy。)
关系代词
指人时可以用who, 也可用that。
Do you know the boy who/that is my desk mate?
The man who/that was killed in the accident is Tom’s uncle.
指物时可以用which, 也可用that。
I like visiting places which/that are not far away.
How do you like the film which/that was shown last Sunday.
who可以指人也可以指物。
He was a painter who pictures were not well- known in his life time.
The tree who leaves are red was planted last year.
关系代词作宾语时可以省略。
I like the meal that/which / ( ) we had last night.
Do you know the boy who/whom/that/( ) we talked about just now?
注:()表示关系代词省略
关系副词
关系副词在从句中只能作状语。when 指时间,where指地点,why指原因,how不能作关系词。如:
We will put off the picnic until next week when the weather may be better.
He has reached the point where a change is needed.
That is no reason why you should leave.
This is the way how I did it. (how不能作关系词)
