高中定语从句的详细讲解

一 定语：修饰名词或代词的词、短语或从句称为定语。汉语中常用‘……的’表示。 定语主要由形容词担任。此外名词、代词、数词、副词、介词短语以及动词不定式（短语）、分词也可以做定语。

a beautiful city; a bag full of money.注意：汉语的定语无论多长都放在被修饰词的前面，而英语中的定语则不然，是一个词时，放在被修饰词的前面， 若是两个以上的词组、短语或从句则放在被修饰词的后面，

thirty women teachers ; his father; the girl in red. the boy from America

Our monitor is always the first student to enter the classroom.

falling leaves; fallen leaves; the boy playing basketball; the book bought by my mother; a reading room; a swimming pool

He is the man who you are looking for.

二：定义及相关术语

1．定语从句：修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。定语从句一般紧跟在它所修饰的先行词之后。

2．先行词：被定语从句修饰的名词或代词叫先行词。

3．关系词：引导定语从句的词叫关系词。关系词有关系代词和关系副词。关系代词有that, which, who, whom, whose, as等；关系副词有when, where, why.

1. I have an apple. An apple is red.

I have an apple that/which is red. ↑ ↑

先行词 关系代词

关系词通常有下列三个作用：A、引导定语从句，连接主从句；B、代替先行词；C、在定语从句中担当一个成分。

关系代词引导的定语从句

1．who 指人，在定语从句中作主语。

The boys who are playing football are from Class One. Those who want to go to the museum must be at the school gate at 7 tomorrow morning. Yesterday I helped an old man who had lost his way. That is the teacher who teaches us physics. 2．whom 指人，在定语从句中做宾语，常可省略。

Mr Liu is the person ( whom ) you talked about on the bus. Li Ming is just the boy ( whom ) I want to see. The professor ( whom ) you are waiting for has come. The girl ( whom ) the teacher often praises is our monitor.

注意：关系代词whom 在口语或非正式文体中常可用who 来代替，也可省略。

（一）限制性定语从句中只能用that 引导定语从句的`情况

1．当先行词是everything, anything, nothing (something 除外), all, none, few, little, some等不定代词时，或当先行词受every, any, all, some, no, little, few, much等不定代词修饰时。如：

2．当先行词被序数词修饰时。如：

6．当先行词为人与物时。如：

（二）关系副词引导的定语从句

1． when 指时间，在定语从句中作时间状语。当先行词是表时间的名词，比如time, day, week, month, year等；且定语从句中缺时间状语时用when. 若先行词是表时间的名词，定语从句中缺主语或宾语时，用that/which引导。

I didn’t believe the reason (that/which) he explained to me

注意：关系副词引导的定语从句经常可以用“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句来表示。如：

From the years when / in which he was going to primary school in the country he had known what he wanted to be when he grew up. Great changes are taking place in the city where / in which they live. The reason why / for which he refused the invitation is quite clear.

（三）“介词+关系代词which/whom”引导的定语从句

关系代词在定语从句中作介词宾语时，从句常常由“介词+关系代词”引出。

The school (which / that) he once studied in is very famous.

The school in which he once studied is very famous.

Tomorrow I’ll bring here the magazine (which / that) you asked for.

注意：

１． 含有介词的固定短语动词一般不拆开，介词仍放在短语动词的后面。如：look for, look after, take care of 等。

This is the watch (which / that) I am looking for. (正)

This is the watch for which I am looking . (误)

The babies (whom / who / that) the nurse is looking after are very healthy. (正)

The babies after whom the nurse is looking are very healthy. （误）

２．若介词放在关系代词前，关系代词指人时只可用whom，不可用who, that；关系代词指物时只可用which，不可用that。

The man with whom you talked just now is my neighbour. (正) The man with that / who you talked just now is my neighbour. (误)

The plane in which we flew to Canada was really comfortable. (正) The plane in that we flew to Canada was really comfortable. (误)

３．“介词+关系代词”前还可有some, any, none, all, both, neither, many, most, each, few等代词或者数词。如：
