定语从句简析精练

1. 意义：在复合句中，修饰某一名词或代词的从句，就是定语从句。如：I love music that is quiet and gentle. 我喜欢柔和的音乐。

2. 先行词：被定语从句修饰的词，就是先行词。如：上句中的music。

3. 关系代词、关系副词：引导定语从句，指代先行词，并在从句中充当一定的句子成分，如：上句中的that, 指代music, 在从句中充当主语。

关系代词、关系副词用法一览表 that who 指代 人/物 人 用法（在从句中充当句子成分等） 主语 宾语 可以代表整个主句或者主句的部分内容 主语 宾语 表语 *状语 不能引导非限制性定语从句 主语 宾语 宾语 定语（......的）：= the + noun + of which/whom 时间状语 地点状语（可抽象化） 原因状语 主语 宾语 表语 可以代表整个或部分主句的内容 There is no child but loves his/her parents. = There is no child who does not love his/her parents. = Every child loves his/her parents. 备注 which/that/who/whom在限制性定语从句中作宾语时，可省略。 which 物 whom 人 whose 人/物 when why as *but 时间 原因 人/物 人/物 where 地点 *but= which/that /who … not 4. 非限制性定语从句

非限制性定语从句与主句关系松散，只起着补充说明的作用，要用逗号和主句分开来。 My friend, who is playing tennis, comes from Ethiopia. It is snowing, which makes children feel excited. The professor gave me a lot of advice, from which I benefit a lot. 5. 定语从句解题技巧：

(1) 分清主、从句，找出先行词；

(2) 认真思考先行词和定语从句之间的联系，看一看定语从句中缺少什么成份； (3) 确定关系代词或关系副词。

如：The famous basketball star, tried to make a comeback, attracted a lot of attention. A. where B. whom C. which D. who 1. I love London, (which/where) is the capital of England. 2. I love London, (which/where) the 2012 Olympic Games will be held.

3. I’d like to give my thanks to those (who/with whose) help my son to survive the disease. 4. I’d like to give my thanks to those (who/with whose) help my son will be able to survive the disease.

6. 介词 + which/whom/whose（介词选用的两个原则）

（1）介词与先行词的关系，如：I have five balloons, of which three are yellow.

该句中的which指代the five balloons, 为of 提供了范围。

（2）介词与定语从句中动词搭配，如：This is the professor, from whom I’ve learned a lot.

向某人学习：learn from sb. 7. 介词 + which/whose + 名词
