　　定語從句

　　分類

　　限定性定語從句：一般緊接在所修飾的名詞后，描寫主句所涉及的人或物的具體情況，是主句不可缺少的一部分。

　　非限定性定語從句：為主句所描寫的人或物提供一些附加情況，沒有它，主句意義仍然完整。位于所修飾的名詞之后，用逗號與主句分開。

　　關系代詞的選用

　　限定性定語從句

　　The man who robbed the bank has been arrested.

　　The woman( whom/who/that) I told you about came back yesterday.

　　The VCD (which) I bought yesterday broke down.

　　That’s the man whose house has been burnt down.

　　That was the year when he was born.

　　Can you tell me the reason why you are late

　　非限定性定語從句

　　He introduced me to his wife, whom I hadn’t met before.

　　His house, which he bought for $10,000 ten years ago, is now worth $ 35,000.

　　He was very nervous during his first job interview, which was understandable.

　　We will discuss the problem tomorrow, when you calm down.

　　He lived in an attic in an old house, where he had a good view of the city.

　　重要考點

　　1 限定性定語從句中，關系代詞做賓語時可以省略

　　2 當先行詞是

　　*all, something, nothing 等不定代詞時

　　*first, last, only, few, much, some, any, no 等詞修飾時

　　*形容詞修飾時

　　只用that不用which

　　3 非限定性定語從句只能用which 不用that

　　非限制性定語從句中只能用which，可以指代前面的一個詞，也可以引導從句修飾前面的整個主句，代替主句所表示的整體概念或部分概念。在這種從句中，which可以作主語，也可以作賓語或表語，多數情況下意思是與and this 相似。例如：

　　He succeeded in the competition, which made his parents very happy.

　　他比賽獲勝，令他父母十分欣慰。

　　4 As在定語從句中的用法

　　1）引導限制性定語從句和非限制性定語從句

　　（１）as多與such 或the same連用，可以代替先行詞是人或物的名詞。

　　such… as; same…as

　　It wasn’t such a good dinner as she had promised us

　　（２）as 也可單獨使用，引導非限制性定語從句，作用相當于which。例如：

　　The elephant’s nose is like a snake, as anybody can see.

　　2）As引導的非限制性定語從句的位置

　　as引導的非限制性定語從句位置較靈活，可以位于主句前面．中間或后面，一般用逗號與主句隔開，但which所引導的非限制性定語從句只能放在主句之后

　　As we all know, Taiwan is a part of China.

　　Water consists of hydrogen and oxygen, which (as ) is known to all.

　　5 做介詞賓語時，如介詞位于關系代詞前一般用which 或whom, 如介詞位于句末，也可使用that,且可省略。

　　The earth on which we are now living came into being long, long ago.

　　The earth (which/that) we are now living on came into being long, long ago.

　　6 誤區

　　That was the time that/which I still remember today.

　　That was the time when(at which) he came.

　　That is the factory that/which we are going to visit.

　　That is the factory where(in which) my brother works.
