定語從句,又名形容詞性從句,共分為兩大類:限制性定語從句和非限制性定語從句,由關(guān)系代詞who, whom, whose, that, which, as或關(guān)系副詞when, where, why等引導(dǎo)。
定語從句的關(guān)聯(lián)詞之所以命名為關(guān)系詞, 是因為它關(guān)系到先行詞, 也關(guān)系到定語從句, 在中間起重要的橋梁作用, 關(guān)系代詞代替先行詞, 同時在定語從句中作主語或賓語(whose作定語); 關(guān)系副詞相當于“介詞+先行詞”, 同時在定語從句中作狀語。
一、兩類定語從句的區(qū)別:
All the books that have pictures have been sent to them.
所有有插圖的書都給他們寄去了。(言外之意, 沒有插圖的書就沒給他們寄。)
All the books, which have pictures, have been sent to them.
所有的書都給他們寄去了, 所有的書都有插圖。
He has a brother who is a doctor.
他有一個當醫(yī)生的哥哥。(不一個)
He has a brother, who is a doctor.
他有一個哥哥, 是個醫(yī)生。(僅一個)
二、關(guān)系代詞和關(guān)系副詞的用法列舉:
三、幾組關(guān)系代詞的用法區(qū)別:
1. 當先行詞指人時, 許多情況下既可用that也可用who,但在下列情況下, 用who不用that:
2. 當先行詞指物時,許多情況下既可用that也可用which,但下列情況下, 用that不用which:
3. 關(guān)系代詞which與as引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句的區(qū)別:
(1)as引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句位于主句的前后皆可, which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句只能位于句末, as從句與主句多為并列關(guān)系, which從句與主句常為因果關(guān)系。

=Edison invented the electric light, as is known to all.

(2)as引導(dǎo)的限制性定語常用的固定搭配有:
such…as…; the same as…; such as…

四、介詞+關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)的定語從句
介詞+關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)定語從句時, 介詞的賓語只能是which或whom。
1. 當介詞位于關(guān)系代詞的前面時, 關(guān)系代詞which或whom不能省略;當介詞位于關(guān)系代詞的后面時, 關(guān)系代詞which或whom可以省略。

2. 復(fù)合介詞短語+關(guān)系代詞 which 或whom 引導(dǎo)定語從句時, 定語從句常與主句用逗號隔開, 且用倒裝語序。

五、定語從句中的謂語動詞要與先行詞保持一致:
