Question

拜求：the way做定语从句先行词的用法.

Answer 1

在the way+从句中,the way 是先行词,其后是定语从句.它有三种表达形式:

1) the way+that

2)the way+ in which

3)the way + 从句(省略了that或in which),

在通常情况下,用in which 引导的定语从句最为正式,用that的次之,而省略了关系代词that 或 in which 的,反而显得更自然,最为常用.如下面三句话所示,其意义相同.

I like the way in which he talks.

I like the way that he talks.

I like the way he talks.
