二.定语从句
在复合句中,修饰某一名词或代词的从句,称为定语从句,也叫形容词性从句.被从句所修饰的词叫先行词.
eg: a beautiful pig
This is a pig that can sing.
定语从句分为两种:限定性定语从句或非限定性定语从句
注:经典语法中把两种从句的区别说的很多,但高考考题中这方面体现的不多,同学们只需要知道有逗号的是非限,非限中不能用that
eg: He is the person who I am looking forward to seeing.
They discussed a question yesterday, which was very importance.
引导定语从句的关系词有两种:关系代词(that, who, whom, whose, which,as),关系副词(when, where, why)
1.that
即可以指人,又可以指物,不能用于非限或作介词宾语
eg: This is the box that I lost yesterday.
She is the girl that I like.
2.who
只修饰人.其中who 即可以修饰主语,也可以修饰宾语,whom只能修饰宾语
注:这里所说的主语或宾语是指在从句中所充当的成分
eg: She is the girl who likes you.
She is the girl who/whom you like.
3.which
只修饰物,也可以整句内容.
eg: She heard a terrible noise, which brought her heart to her mouth.
Tom failed in the exam, which made his father angry.
注:先行词是物,用that 不用which的情况
(1)先行词是不定代词all, none, one, any, few, everything等时.但something都可以.
(2)先行词被序数词或最高级修饰时
(3)先行词包括人和物两方面
eg: They talked about the things and the persons that they remembered in the school.
注:先行词是物,用which不用that的情况
(1)引导非限时,先行词可以是词或句子,不用that.
(2)作介词宾语时
eg: He built a telescope thought which he could study the skies.
4.as
常用于 such…as, the same…as, as…as等结构中.还可以译为“正如”,即可放句首或句末,而且常用逗号与主句隔开.
eg: This is not such a book as I expected.
As is known to all, the earth travels around the sun.
注:the same as 与the same that的区别
eg: This is the same tool as I used that time.这和我上次用的工具一样(是同类)
This is the same tool that I used that time.这和我上次用的是同一把工具(是同一个)
注:as与which的关系
(1)相同点:都能引导非限,先行词可以是整个句子,都可以在从句中作主语,宾语或表语
(2)不同点:
①as引导的从句可位于句首或句末,并有逗号和句子隔开.而which引导的从句,只能放在主句后面.
eg: As everybody can see, this elephant is like a snake.
=This elephant is like a snake, as everybody can see.
②as有“正如”的意义,which没有.此条也是高考重点.
eg: As Engels ppinted out, labour created man himself.
注:定语从句和同位从句的区别
比较下列两个句子
(1).We expressed the hope (that) they had expressed.
(2).We expressed the hope that they would come to visit China again.
a.从语法角度上看,引导同位从句的that是连词,只起连接作用,在从句并不做任何成分,而引导定语从句的that是关系代词,除了起连接作用外,还在从句中充当句子成分
b.从语意的角度上看,同位语从句与它前面的名词是同位关系,表示其具体的内容,而定语从句与它前面的名词是所属关系,起修饰作用
再比较下面两个句子
(1).Have you heard the news that a war has broken out in the Middle East?
(2).Have you heard the news that I just told you?
c.同位从句的that一般不省略,而定语从句中的that如果作宾语则可以省略
5.whose
即可以指人,也可指物,表示所属关系
eg: Everyone here will help the girl whose father died in the accident.
He bought a big house whose windows are very beautiful.
6.关系副词where ,when ,why
where表示时间, when表示地点, why表示原因,他们在从句中分别作地点状语,时间状语和原因状语.
当先行词虽然表示时间,地点或原因,而关系词在从句中作主语或宾语而不是状语时,要选用that或which,因此解决此类问题时,分析先行词在从句中作什么成分显得十分关键.
eg: I’ll never forget the day when I first came to Shenyang.
I’ll never forget the day that/which we spent together.
The reason which/that he gave isn’t believable.
The reason why he didn’t come to school yesterday is that he was ill.
解决此类问题我们所采用步骤如下:1,找先行词.2,分析先行词在从句中作什么成分.3,如果作状语,选关系副词,如果作主语或宾语,选关系代词
7. 介词+关系代词 结构
先看下面的例子:
eg: Shenyang is the city where I live.
Shenyang is the city that/which I live in.
Shenyang is the city in which I live.
最后一句话就是我们所说的结构,这一结构在高考中出现的几率十分高,解决此类题我们采用以下步骤.
1.找先行词.2,把先词换到关系代词的位置.3,将句子还原.下面举例说明
例:She is the girl ____ you’re waiting.
A. to whom B. for whom C. in whom D. of whom
通常此类问题都转化为选介词的问题了.找到先行词girl,再将放到whom的位置,将句子还原是:
You’re waiting ____ for the girl.所以,显然选B.
上题可以看出这个介词是由wait这个动词所带来的,但是实际情况要复杂很多.
注:介词+关系代词 结构里介词的选法
(1)根据与前面句词的关系
eg: I can never forget the day____ which I first met her.
(2)根据与后面动词的关系
(3)综合考虑全句内容
eg: He made a hole in the wall ____ which he could see what was happening in the next room.
注:关于引导主语从句时what的用法.
what引导的句词性从句,有时可以不译出来,因为没有准确的汉语意义和它相吻合,但它在从句中充当的成分决定了它独一无二的位置.
我们以下面的例子来感觉一下.
eg: China is no longer what it used to be
China is no longer the country that/which it used to be.
我们有下面两种方式去理解它与定语从句的关系.what一词在句中即起到了先行词又起到了连接词的作用,即双从身分.这是一,还有就是上一句话如果没有what,那么从句中就没有了表语,即真正缺少句子成分.所以,考场同学们一定要仔细分析句子的特点再作结论.
三,强调句型
因为强调句型经常会和名词性从句和定语从句相混淆,所以放在此句讲解
固定结构:
It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who + 从句
在强调人时用who,其它情况一律用that
eg: It was Tom who helped me .
It was in the park that they caught the thief.
注:由于强调句型的特殊格式,考试时同学们如果看见考题的前两个人词是 it is/was时就要首先考虑是不是强调句型.具体判断方法如下
eg: It was these poisonous products ____ could cause the disease, like flu.
A. that B. which C. why D. when
看到题目前两个单词,先考是不是强调句型.然后把it was 和要填入的空划掉,看所剩的部分是不是完整的句子,如果是,就是强调句型,否则就不是.
所剩部分为: these poisonous products could cause the disease, like flu 完整,是强调句型,而且强调的是物,所以选A.
再比较下面两个句子
It was the forest ____ we caught the thief.
It was in the forest ____ we caught the thief.
