定语从句:在复合句中作定语用修饰句子中某一名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。
① 定语从句的位置:放在名词或代词的后面。如:The man who has an umbrella in his hand is my uncle. (手上抓了一把雨伞的人是我的叔叔。)
② 语法术语的改变:被修饰的名词或代词称为先行词;引导定语从句的连接词称为关系词,其中that、which、who称为关系代词,where、when、how称为关系副词。
③ 关系代词或关系副词的作用:
关系代词who、whom 和whose指人,分别在从句中作主语、宾语和定语。which指物that多指物, 有时也指人,它们在从句中可以作主语或宾语。定语从句中关系代词作从句宾语时可以省略。This is the thief (that/who/whom) we have been looking for these days. (这个就是我们近日一直在找的小偷。) / Please find a room which is big enough for all of us to live in. (请找一间足够大能住下我们全体的房间。)
关系副词when或where引导定语从句时,它们在从句中分别作时间状语和地点状语。如:This is the room where they had a quarrel a week ago. (这是一个星期前他们吵架的房间。) / I can never forget the day when I first saw you. (我永远不会忘记第一次见到你的日子。)
④ 限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。限制性定语从句在句中不能省略,否则主句意思就不完整。非限制性定语从句和主句之间往往用逗号分开,这种从句是一种附加说明,如果从句子中省去,也不致于影响主句的意思。如:She spent the whole evening talking about her latest book, which none of us had heard of. (她一个晚上都在谈论她最近的书,我们一个人都没有听说过那本书。)
[注解]
1、关系代词只能用that的情况:当先行词是指事物的不定代词(all, anything等),或先行词部分含有最高级,或含有序数词时,不能用其他的关系代词,只能用that. 如:All that Lily told me seems untrue. (Lily告诉我的话似乎不真实。) / Can you give me anything that has no sugar inside? (能不能给我点里面没有糖的东西?) / This is the first two-story bus that runs in our city. (这是第一辆运行于我市的双层公交车。)
2、关系代词在从句中作主语时一般用who(指人)、that(指物),而不用that指人或用which指物。 如:Do you know the woman who is weeping in the corner? (你认识那个在角落里哭泣的女人吗?) / Do not tell me any words that have nothing to do with me. (跟我无关的话,请一个字也不要说。)
3、关系代词作从句的宾语时,常用which或whom,较少使用that或who,而且,关系代词常常省略。如:Tom’s father was the first parent whom our teacher talked to. (Tom的父亲是我们老师第一个谈话的人。)
4、当关系代词紧跟在介词后面时,必须用which或whom,而当介词移到句尾时,则又可以使用that或who. 如:This is the room in which Miss Li once lived. (= This is the room Miss Li once lived in.) (这是李小姐曾经居住过的房间。)

2、先行词为时间名词、地点名词和reason时,是选用关系代词,关系副词还是“介词+which”呢?
在考查定语从句时往往结合一定的情景,因此,在解答时,必须根据情景和结构功能来选择所给的引导词。同时,还必须牢记一条:引导词不一定都是由先行词的定义来确定的,而是由先行词在定语从句中作什么成分来确定的。换句话说,先行词是表示时间的词,关系词不一定都是when,先行词是表示地点的词,关系词有时非where,先行词是the reason时,关系词why决非唯一。我们应仔细分析先行词在定语从句中充当什么成分。
请比较下面的句子,看看你能否作出正确的选择。试一试吧,你能行的!
①I still remember the days____we spent in the countryside ten years ago.
A.when B.on which C.that D.for which
②Daye,____I visited ten years ago, has turned big city.
A.where B.x C.which D.to which
③Have you asked her for the reason____may explain for her absence?
A.why B.that C.x D.for which
④The days are gone forever____we didn’t have enough to eat.
A.since B.that C.where D.when
⑤This is the very place____the anti-Japanese soldiers fought over 60 years ago.
A.that B.which C.where D.there

3、定语从句必须修饰一个名词或代词,没有先行词的定语从句是不可想象的。有时,先行词并非一个词乃为一个完整的句子。
“介词+which”前一定有一个时间、地点名词;而“介词+what”前往往无时间、地点名词。

1、He lives in _____is called Da Quangou. (B)
2.Do you know the place in____he used to live? (D)
3.Is there a hospital around____I can buy some medicine for cough? (A)
4.Do you know the hospital around____stand a lot of buildings? (D)
5.He is still working ____he has worked for ten years. (A)
A.where B.what C.that D.which
4、as和 which引导的非限制性从句之异同
as和which引导非限制性定语从句时,其用法既有相同之处,也存不同之点。具体情况是:
(1)as和which都可以在定语从句中作主语或宾语,代表前面整个句子。如:
He married the girl, as / which was natural.
(2)as引导的非限制性定语从句可以放在主句之前或之后,甚至还可以分割主句,且常见于as is known, as sb. can know, as sb. know, as is wellknown, as it is, as is said above 等句型中。which引导的非限制性定语从句只可放在主句之后。另外,as常常有“正如”,“好象”的含义。如:As is known to all, China is a developing country.
He is from the south, as we can know from his accent.
John, as you know, is a famous writer.
Zhang hua has been to Paris more than ten times, which I don’t bielieve.
(3)当定语从句的结构为“主语+谓语+宾语”时,常用which.
如:He came late this morning, which made the teacher very angry.
(4)当先行词由such, the same修饰时,关系词常用as。如:
This is the same dictionary as I lost last week.
注意:当先行词由the same修饰时,偶尔也用that引导定语从句,但与as引导的定语从句意思有区别。如:
She wore the same dress that she wore at Mary’s wedding.
她穿着她在玛丽婚礼上穿过的用一条连衣裙。
She wore the same dress as her younger sister wore.
她穿着跟她妹妹所穿的一样的连衣裙。
5、定语从句与同位语从句之区别
(1)定语从句修饰先行词,它与先行词是修饰关系;同位语从句说明先行词的具体内容,它与先行词是同位关系。
The plane that has just taken off is for Beijing. (定语从句)
The fact that he has already died is quite clear(同位语从句)
(2)定语从句的关系词在从句中担当相应的句子成分,同位语从句主要由连接词that引导,在从句中一般不充当成分;有时也由where,how, when, who, whether,what等连词引导。但其说明之词并非时间、地点、方式等名词。
The problem that we are facing now is how we can collect so much money.(定语从句)
The problem how we can collect so much money is difficult to solve.(同位语从句)
I have no idea when he will come back. (同位语从句)
6、定语从句与强调句型之区别
关键是要抓住强调句型的特点,去掉it is (was) …tha后,看这个句子经过整理后是否仍然成立,而在定语从句中that是在从句中充当一定的成分的,若去掉that句子是不成立的。
It is the factory where I worked ten years ago.(定语从句)
It is in the factory that he works.(强调句型)
7、where,when引导定语从句与其连接的状语从句之辨别
当where、when从句是定语从句时,其前必有一地点名词、时间名词,此时,可换用“介词+which”。当前面没有地点名词、时间名词时,我们不可用 “介词+which”来取代where连接的从句,因为此时的where、when从句乃名词性从句或状语从句。
