定语从句是由关系代词(如 who、whom、whose、which、what、as)和关系副词(如 where、when、why 等)来引导的,不过需要记住以下要点:
1. what 不能用于引导定语从句。
2.对于关系词的分析,必须要考虑它在定语从句中所充当的成分。
指人的关系代词包含 who、whose、whom、that。下面我们来进行分析:
The old man who/whom/that we visited yesterday is a famous artist.
Miss Wang is taking care of the child whose parents have gone to Beijing.
The man with whom my father shook hands just now is our headmaster.(=The man who/whom that my father shook hands with just now is our headmaster.) 注:
A. 指人的时候,有时只用 who 而不适合用 that。
1. 先行词是 one、ones 或者 anyone
(1)The comrade I want to learn from is the one who studies hard and works hard.
(2)Anyone who breaks the law should be punished.
2. 先行词是 these 时
These who are going to Beijing are the best students of our school.
3. 在 there be 开头的句子中
There is a student who wants to see you.
4. 一个句子中如果带有两个定语从句,其中一个定语从句的关系代词是 that,另一个则适合用 who,以此避免重复。
The student that won the first prize is the monitor who works hards.
5. 在非限制性定语从句中
A. I met a friend of mine in the street, who had just come from Japan.
B. 主句以 who 开头的句子中,只能用 that,不能用 who。
