中考英语之定语从句
什么是定语从句
定语从句是指在复合句中充当定语的从句,用来修饰名词或代词。被修饰的词叫先行词,引导定语从句的词叫关系词。
结构公式:先行词 + 关系词 + 定语从句
例句:
The man who is talking is my teacher. (正在说话的那个人是我的老师。)
The book which I bought is interesting. (我买的那本书很有趣。)
核心特征:定语从句相当于一个形容词,对先行词进行修饰或限定。
关系词的分类
关系词分为关系代词和关系副词两类,根据先行词和关系词在从句中充当的成分来选择。
1. 关系代词
who人主语、宾语
The man who is singing is my uncle.
whom人宾语
The man whom you met is my uncle.
which物主语、宾语
The book which is on the desk is mine.
that人或物主语、宾语
The book that I bought is good.
whose人或物定语(……的)
The boy whose father is a doctor is Tom.
2. 关系副词
when时间名词 (day, year, time)时间状语
I remember the day when I met her.
where地点名词 (place, city, room)地点状语This is the school where I studied.
why原因名词 (reason)原因状语
That's the reason why he left.
如何选择关系词
两步法:先看先行词是人还是物,再看关系词在从句中作什么成分。
第一步先行词是人→ 用 who / whom / that / whose
先行词是物→ 用 which / that / whose
第二步在从句中作主语→ 用 who / that / which
在从句中作宾语→ 用 who / whom / that / which(可省略)
在从句中作定语→ 用 whose
在从句中作状语→ 用 when / where / why
