Relative Clauses

定语从句

先行词 · who / whom / which / that · whose · 介词+which · when / where · 限制/非限制

① 定语从句是什么 · 融合四步法

学习路径:背清四步法与先行词 → 精读②③④引导词 → 对照⑤总表 → 熟读⑥语料 → 完成⑨⑩默写 → 对照⑪口诀。

定语从句 = 形容词性从句:放在名词(先行词)后面,补充说明「是哪一个 / 什么样的」。与宾语从句不同:定语从句修饰名词,关系词紧跟先行词

  1. 共同名词(先行词 antecedent)
  2. 写主句到先行词为止
  3. 在先行词后写从句;删去从句中与先行词重复的人/物
  4. 用关系词(who / whom / which / that …)替换被删去的人/物,关系词紧挨先行词

骨架示例

  • 两句:The man is my father. + He is waiting at the gate.
  • 合并:The man who is waiting at the gate is my father.
  • 两句:The teacher is experienced. + We met the teacher yesterday.
  • 合并:The teacher whom we met yesterday is very experienced.

② who / whom(指人)

who · 从句中作主语

从句里缺的是「人 + 做动作的人」→ 用 who

  • The man who is waiting at the gate is my father.
  • People who are exposed to too much stress may get ill.
  • I still remember the teacher who always encouraged me.
  • Anyone who breaks the law should be punished.
whom · 从句中作宾语

从句里「人」作动词/介词的宾语 → 用 whom;whom 必须紧接先行词

  • The student whom the teacher likes very much is feeling sick.
  • The teacher whom we met yesterday is very experienced.
  • ✗ The student the teacher likes whom …(whom 不能放在句末当宾语标记)
  • 口语/部分考试:who 代 whom 作宾语也常见

八九年级重点:who = 人 + 主语whom = 人 + 宾语 + 紧跟先行词。先判断从句里关系词担任的成分,再选词。

③ which / that(指物)· whose(所属)

which / that · 指物

which / that 可作主语或宾语;限制性定语从句中 that 常可换 which

  • Harry Potter is a film which tells the story of a young wizard.
  • The building that stands at the corner is a hotel.
  • The pen which I bought yesterday was broken.
  • The novel which you recommended is fascinating.
whose · 表所属

= …的(人/物均可);后接名词

  • The boy whose father is a doctor studies hard.
  • This is the school whose library is open on weekends.
  • who father → ✓ whose father

which 在从句中的成分

成分例句说明
主语 The match which took place yesterday was exciting. which 后接谓语,不能再缺主语
宾语 The pen which I bought yesterday … which 作 bought 的宾语,可省略(口语)
选词 人 → who / whom;物 → which / that;所属 → whose

④ 介词 + which · when · where

先行词在从句中作状语时,介词与先行词构成义群(on the day / in the space),不可拆开 → 介词与 which 一起移到先行词后。

时间 · prep. + whichwhen
  • on that day → on which / when
  • I will never forget the day when I gave a speech.
  • High school is a period during which we grow rapidly.
  • The graduation day on which we say goodbye is coming.
  • Lack of sleep is the reason for which many teens feel tired.
地点 · prep. + whichwhere
  • in this space → in which / where
  • The library is a quiet space where we can focus on study.
  • Our school provides a stage where we can show our talents.
  • The stadium in which we used to play has been rebuilt.
  • The moment at which we won the championship was exciting.

when / where 作关系副词,从句中不再出现时间/地点状语;若保留介词短语,则用 prep. + which,不用 when/where 叠床。

⑤ 引导词速查总表

关系词先行词在从句中记忆
who 主语 who 当「主」
whom 宾语 whom 紧跟先行词
which / that 物(人也可 that) 主语 / 宾语 which 指物
whose 人 / 物 定语(+ 名词) whose = …的
prep. + which 时间 / 地点 / 原因 状语 介词不拆开
when 时间名词 时间状语 = 时间 prep.+which
where 地点名词 地点状语 = 地点 prep.+which

宾语从句区分:定语从句修饰名词,关系词在名词后;宾语从句作动词宾语,语序为陈述语序(见 L12 讲义)。

⑥ 实用语料库(口语 · 写作 · 本讲话题)

写作事物 · 阅读

写作时间 · 地点

⑦ 易错红线 · 10 条

  1. The man which is waiting…The man who is waiting…(人不用 which)
  2. The book who I like…The book which I like…
  3. The student the teacher likes whom…The student whom the teacher likes…
  4. The day which I gave a speech(缺介词)→ the day when … / on which
  5. The place which we live in itThe place where we live(where 后不再加 in it)
  6. The reason why … for which 叠用 → 二选一:whyfor which
  7. 定语从句用陈述语序,不倒装:who is the manwho helps us
  8. whose + 动词 → ✓ whose + 名词
  9. 混淆宾从:I know the boy who he isI know the boy who helped me
  10. 关系词后重复先行词:✗ the book which it … → ✓ the book which
写作自检:① 先行词是人是物?② 关系词在从句中作主/宾/状?③ whom / prep.+which 是否紧跟先行词?

⑧ 测前自检清单

  1. 能否用四步法把两句话合成带定语从句的一句?
  2. 指人:从句缺主语 → who;缺宾语 → whom(紧跟先行词)。
  3. 指物:which / that;所属 → whose + 名词。
  4. 时间/地点状语:介词不拆开 → prep. + which;或 when / where。
  5. 能区分定语从句(修饰名词)与宾语从句(作动词宾语)。
  6. 辨错题:标出先行词、关系词、从句语序、介词位置。
  7. 合并句练习:先划共同名词,再写关系词。
  8. 阅读:圈关系词,回指找先行词,理解修饰对象。
