I know the boy. + The boy is standing at the door.
I know the boy who is standing at the door.
I lost the book. + I bought the book yesterday.

关系代词:

  1. 先行词是人:that, who, whom(宾格:可被who代替, 反之不行 )
    1. Is he the man who/that wants to see you?
      1. 关系代词在定语从句中做主语

    2. He is the man who/whom/that I saw.
      1. He is the man I saw. (关系代词在定语从句中做宾语/表语时,可直接省略)

  2. 先行词非人:which, that
    1. I bought some desks which/that have three legs.
      1. 关系词这里仅仅是代表了先行词,先行词这里是some desks 所以后面用have而非has

      2. 关系代词在定语从句中做主语

    2. I have the book which/that you like.
      1. I have the book you like. (关系代词在定语从句中做宾语/表语时,可直接省略)

  3. 关系代词:whose指代先行词的所有格
    1. I know that teacher whose hat is green.我认识那个帽子是绿色的老师。

关系代词的区别

  1. 当先行词是序数词、或被序数词、最高级、the only, the very, the same, the last, all, any no, much, little, few, every等词修饰时,关系代词常用that。
    • 总结一句话:当先行词被特指时,关系代词常用that。

    • She is the only teacher that understands me.她是唯一的一个懂我的老师。

  2. 当关系代词在定语从句中做表语时,常用that。
    • He is no longer the man that he used to be.他已经不是过去的那个人了。

    • no longer 不再,副词短语用来修饰is,意为不再是

    • used to do/be 过去常常做/是

  3. 当先行词既有人又有非人时,关系代词用that。
    • He praised the children and their homework that he saw.他称赞了他所看到的这些孩子们以及他们的作业。

  4. 当先行词是something, anything, nothing, none, few, little, much, a lot, all, any, those, everyone, everybody, anyone, anybody, someone, somebody等词时,关系代词指人常用who;非人常用that。
    • 总结一句话:不定代词后用who或that。

    • Is there anyone who can swim?有人会游泳吗?

    • All that can be done has been done.所有能做的都已经做了。

  5. 当关系代词位于介词的后面时,指人用whom,非人用which。
    • The girl is my sister. + I bought a doll for the girl. 我给买了一个娃娃的女孩是我妹妹。
      • The girl for whom I bought a doll is my sister.(将介词提前,正式书面语)

      • The girl whom I bought a doll for is my sister.(口语化,非正式)

    • I saw the table. + there was an apple on the table.我看见了那个上面有苹果的桌子。
      • I saw the table on which there was an apple.

      • I saw the table which there was an apple on.

  6. 非限定性定语从句中,关系代词不用that。
    • 所谓非限定性定语从句,一般用逗号隔开。

    • I konw the girl, who lives in Beijing.我认识这个女孩,她住在北京。

    • I like apples, which grow on a tree.我喜欢苹果,苹果长在树上。

  7. 关系代词要注意避免重复、混淆。
    • Which is the car that hit the tree?哪辆车撞着这棵树了?

    • Who is the man that is running over there?在那跑步的人是谁?

    • He wants to buy those books which sell best.他想买那些卖的最好的书。
      • those是that的复数形式,为了避免重复混淆,后面关系代词用which而非that

    • She is the gril I know who can dance.她是我认识的那个会跳舞的女孩。
      • She is the girl. + I know the gril. + The gril can dance.

      • 双定语从句,第一个whom在I之前省略掉了,因为它是关系词做宾语可省略

      • 为什么这里界定who can dance还是定语从句呢,而非I know的宾语呢,因为I know的宾语就是the gril,它的宾语已经存在了。

关系代词的省略:

  • 关系代词在定语从句中做宾语/表语时,可直接省略。

  • 关系代词做主语时,若省略,首先将关系代词和be动词(没有则忽略)一起省略,再将剩余动词变成分词形式。主动关系用现在分词;被动关系用过去分词。
    1. 现在分词做定语
      1. I know the boy who is standing at the door.
        1. I know the boy standing at the door.(省略关系代词和be动词,主动关系用现在分词)

    2. 过去分词做定语
      1. The cat which was taken to the zoo is cute.被带到动物园的这只小猫很可爱。
        1. The cat taken to the zoo is cute.(省略关系代词和be动词,被动关系用过去分词)

    3. 动词不定式做定语
      1. I bought something that is to water flowers.我买了一个浇花的东西。

      1. I bought something that is useful.我买了一个有用的东西
        1. I bought something useful.(省略关系代词和be动词,形容词做后置定语)

        2. 形容词修饰不定代词时,必须放在不定代词后面。

    5. 介词短语做定语
      1. The elephant which is in the bag is beautiful.包里的大象很漂亮。
        1. The elephant in the bag is beautiful.(省略关系代词和be动词,介词短语做定语)

"介词+which/whom"引导定语从句

关系词在定语从句中做状语时便有了"介词+which/whom"引导定语从句,且由此衍生出关系副词。

介词+关系词引导定语从句时,介词后面不跟that/who。

  • This is the classroom. + We study in the classroom.
    • This is the classroom (which/that) we study in. 语法正确,口语常用
      • 当关系词在从句中作介词的宾语时,可以省略关系词,但必须保留介词。

    • This is the classroom in which we study.最规范,正式
      • 当关系代词位于介词后面时,非人用which,人用whom,关系词不可省略

    • This is the classroom where we study.
      • in which表示地点,可以用where代替

  • I remember that moment. + I was running at that moment.
    • I remember that moment at which I was running.

    • I remember that moment when I was running.
      • at which表示时间,可以用when代替

  • This is the reason. + He is late for the reason.
    • This is the reason for which he is late.

    • This is the reason why he is late.
      • for which表示原因,可以用why代词

  • He is my father. + I bought a dress for my father.
    • He is my father for whom I bought a dress.
      • 当关系代词位于介词后面时,非人用which,人用whom

关系副词

  1. where表示地点

  2. when表示时间

  3. why表示原因

This is the school where we studied.
This is the school which we visited.
I remember the day when we met for the first time.
I remember the day which we spent together.
Tell me the reason why you cried.

关系副词的省略

  1. the place, somewhere, anywhere, everywhere, nowhere等表示地点的词后的关系副词where有时可以省略.
    • 总结,只要省略后句子关系能看懂,就可以省略

    • This is the place (where) we met years ago.

  2. the time, every time, each time, the moment等表示时间的词后的关系副词when可以省略
    • 总结,只要省略后句子关系能看懂,就可以省略

    • I remember the day (when) we met for the first time.

  3. 先行词the reason后面的关系副词why可以省略。
    • 总结,只要省略后句子关系能看懂,就可以省略

    • That's the reason (why) I asked you to come.

way后面的定语从句引导词

  • This is the way. + I walk in the way.
    1. This is the way in which I walk.这就是我走路的方式。
      • in which 引导

    2. This is the way that I walk.
      • that 引导(非简单的指代非人的那种关系代词,这是特殊情况)

    3. This is the way I walk.
      • 直接省略

谨记way后面的定语从句的三种引导方式即可。

非限定/非限制性定语从句

The boy who is running is my brother.
The young man is a teacher, who likes eating shoes.

分析以上两句话,对先行词限定性不强,用逗号隔开的定语从句,就是非限定性定语从句。

  • My room, which is a beautiful place, is bright.
    • 非限定性定语从句的引导词不用that。

  • Peter, who/whom you met in London, is now in Paris.

  • Here is a park, where people often take a walk.这有一个公园,人们常在此散步。
    • Here is a park, in which people often take a walk.

  • He'll come on May 1st, when he'll be free.他5月1号来,那时他有空。
    • He'll come on May 1st, on which he'll be free.

  • I know your reason, for which you didn't come.
    • 非限定性定语从句中,for which不用why代替。

  • He doesn't like study, which makes me angry.
    • which指代前面这句话或前面说的这件事,这是非限定性定语从句的一个经典用途。

  • He doesn't like study, as makes me angry.
    • which和as在非限定性定语从句中可以指代前面的一句话。

  • He doesn't believe me, as I know.
    • As I know, He doesn't believe me.正如我所知,他不相信我。
      • as引导定语从句,可放在句首,常翻译为"正如"。
