第一章定语从句
第1讲关系词的选择技巧
考点1.相关概念
A.主句、从句、关系词
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:修饰主句中的一个名词或代词的句子是定语从句。 (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。)
B.关系代词
I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.
II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?
IIIwho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.
IV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
C.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。
1We will put off the picnic until next week when the weather may be better.
2He has reached the point where a change is needed.
3That is no reason why you should leave.
4This is the way how I did it. (how不能作关系词)

考点2.关系词的三个作用
A.作定语从句的一个句子成分
B.起着连接主句和从句的作用(参看P. 15考点5)
C.指代先行词的意思
He works in a factory, which is not far from his home.
本句中,关系词是which,在定语从句中作主语,指代先行词factory的意思,起着连接两个分句的作用。
考点3.关系词的选择技巧
A.选用关系词的方法:一找、二还、三提问
I找:就是先把句子分为主句和从句两部分(关系词划分在从句里面),再找出先行词和关系词。
II还:根据先行词提示的意思,大胆地把定语从句还原为完整的一句话(可以添词)。
III提问:用关系词替换定语从句中还原后添加的部分。实际上就是对定语从句中添加部分进行提问。对主语和宾语提问,要用代词;对状语提问要用副词。时间状语用when,地点状语用where, 原因状语用why。关系词是who/whom和which时也可用that
例如:
应用举例:
1This is the school ______ I once studied.
一找: This is the school (______ I once studied).
二还:先行词是the school,由于关系词指代先行词的意思,所以横线上词的词义是“那个学校”。把定语从句“那个学校I once studied”恢复成完整的一句话为:
I once studied at the school.
三提问:添加的at the school在从句中作地点状语,要用where来提问,因此这里要填关系副词where。
2This is the school ______ is the most famous in the city.
一找:
This is the school (______ is the most famous in the city).
二还:先行词是the school,由于关系词指代先行词的意思,所以横线上词的词义是“那个
学校”。把定语从句“那个学校is the most famous in the city”恢复成完整的一句话为:The school is the most famous in the city.
