The Attributive Clause
grammar
有关系代词或关系副词引导用来修饰主句中的某一个名词或代词并起定语作用的从句, 叫定语从句。定语从句所修饰的词叫先行词, 从句跟在先行词后面。
定语从句的构成方法是：关系代词或副词+陈述句语序, 关系代词有: who, whom, whose, which, that, as等; 关系副词有when, where, why等。
关系代词有双重功能, 一方面代表前面所修饰的先行词, 把从句与先行词连接起来; 另一方面引导出从句并在从句中充当某种句子成分。
1.The number of people who/that lost
homes reached as many as 250,000.
2.It sounded like a train which/that
was going under my house.
关系代词只用which不用that的情况
(1) 关系代词在从句中作介词宾语并且介词提前至关系代词前时只用which, 但当介词在从句句尾时, 两者皆可。
This is the question about which we’ve had so much discussion.
= This is the question which / that we’ve had so much discussion about.
(2) 在非限定性定语从句中必须用which不能用that。
This is the book which/that I’m looking for.
They have invited me to visit their country,
which is very kind of them
当关系代词作look after, look for等不能拆开使用的及物动词性短语的宾语时, 介词不可以提前。
1. 关系副词where之地点, 在从句中作地点状语。
This is the house where he lived.
2. 关系副词when指时间, 在从句中作时间状语。
I’ll never forget the days when we played together.
3. 关系副词why指原因, 在从句中作原因状语。
He explained the reason why he was late.
注意: 关系副词有时可用介词+which来 代替。如上句中where=in which; when=on which; why=for which
