一、定语从句的概念
在复合句中,修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。被修饰的名词或代词叫先行词,定语从句一般放在先行词的后面。
二、定语从句的关系词
引导定语从句的关系词有关系代词和关系副词,常见的关系代词包括 that, which, who(宾格whom,所有格whose)等,关系副词包括where, when, why 等。关系代词和关系副词放在先行词及定语从句之间起连接作用,同时又作定语从句的重要成分。
三、定语从句的分类
根据定语从句与先行词的关系,定语从句可以分为限制性定语从句及非限制性定语从句。限制性定语从句紧跟先行词,主句与从句不用逗号分开,从句不可省去,非限制性定语从句主句与从句之间有逗号分开,起补充说明作用,如省去,意思仍完整。
四、关系代词的用法
1. that 既可以用于指人,也可以用于指物。在从句中作主语或宾语,作主语时不可省略,作宾语可省略。
例如:Mary likes music that is quiet and gentle.
玛丽喜欢轻柔的音乐。(that 作主语)
The coat (that) I put on the desk is blue.
我放在桌子上的那件外套是蓝色的。(that 作宾语)
2.which 用于指物,在句中作主语或宾语,作主语不可省略,作宾语可省略。
例如:The building which stands near the train station is a supermarket.
位于火车站附近的那座大楼是一家超市。(作主语)
The film (which) we saw last night was wonderful.
我们昨天晚上看的那部电影很好看。
3.who, whom 用于指人, who 用作主语, whom 用作宾语。在口语中,有时可用who代替whom,
也可省略。
例如:The girl who often helps me with my English is from England.
经常在英语方面帮助我的那个女孩是英国人。(作主语)
Who is the teacher (whom) Li Ming is talking to?
正在与李明谈话的老师是谁?(作宾语)
注意:
(1)当定语从句中含有介词,介词放在句末时,who / that / which 可省略,但介词在关系代
词前时,只能用“ 介词 + which / whom ”结构。
例如:This is the house in which we lived last year.
这是我们去年居住的房子。
Please tell me from whom you borrowed the English novel.
请告诉我你从谁那借的这本英文小说。
(2)含有介词的固定动词词组中,介词不可前置,只能放在原来的位置上。
例如:This is the person whom you are looking for.
这就是你要找的那个人。
(3)that 作介词的宾语时,介词不能放它的前面,只能放在从句中动词的后面。
例如:The city that she lives in is very far away.
她居住的城市非常远。
(4)关系词只能用 that 的情况:
a. 先行词被序数词或形容词最高级所修饰,或本身是序数词、基数词、形容词最高级时,只能
用 that,而不用 which。

d. 先行词里同时含有人或物时,只能用 that, 而不用 which。
例如: I can remember well the persons and some pictures that I saw in the room.
我能清楚记得我在那个房间所见到的人和一些照片。
e.以 who 或 which 引导的特殊疑问句,为避免重复,只能用 that。
例如: Who is the girl that is crying?
正在哭泣的那个女孩是谁?
f.主句是 there be 结构,修饰主语的定语从句用 that,而不用 which。
例如: There is a book on the desk that belongs to Tom.
桌子上那本书是汤姆的。
(5)关系词只能用 which,而不用 that 的情况:
a.先行词为 that,those 时,用 which,而不用 that。
例如:What’s that which is under the desk?
在桌子底下的那些东西是什么?
b.关系代词前有介词时,一般用 which,而不用 that。

参考答案:1-5BBCAC 6-10 ABCCC
(第十题解析:首先这句话的主句是完整的,且被修饰的名词“The world”在句子中充当成分,因而这个句子是定语从句,所以排除AB;又因为CD中的从句完整,所以被修饰词跟从句之间应该有一个关系副词,故第十题选C。)
