which 与 that 在定语从句中 被称为:关系代词
which 引导定语从句时,先行词是物,在从句中可做主语、宾语、表语
that 引导定语从句时,先行词既可以是人,也可以是物,在从句中也可做主语、宾语、表语
关于which和that的常考点:
一、在限制性定语从句中,只能用that不能用which的情况:
1)当先行词是指物的不定代词
例:Do you have anything that you want to say for yourself?
2)当先行词前面有下列词修饰时:the only,the very,just,any,every,some等
例:This is the very busy that I’m waiting for.
3)当先行词是形容词的最高级或先行词的前面有形容词最高级修饰时
例子:This is the best that has been used against pollution.
4)当先行词是序数词或前面有序数词修饰时
例:The train is the last that will go to Suzhou.
5)当先行词既有人,又有物
例:Do you know the things and persons that they are talking about?
6)当主句的主语是疑问词 who 或 which 时
例:which is the bike that you lost?Who is the boy that won the gold medal?
7)主句是there be句型且关系词在从句中作主语时
例:there is a seat in the corner that is still available.
二、当先行词指物,定语从句中只能用which不用that的情况:
1)在非限制性定语从句中,只能用 which
2)当动词短语中的介词提前时,只能用 which
3)先行词后面有插入语时,只能用which.
例:Here is the English grammar book which,as I’ve told you,will help you improve your English.
4)先行词本身就是that时
例:What’s that which flashed in the sky just now?
