(三)怎么连接?
关键是看先行名词(被修饰或说明的那个名词)在从句中充当什么成分(主语、宾语、表语?状语?定语?)这是能否辨别定语从句和能否正确选择连接词的关键所在。
(在从句中)当主语、宾语、表语时:
↗ 人 who (宾格用whom)
限制性定语从句:that
↘ 物 that ( = which)
注意:虽然在限制性定语从句中,关系代词that = which, 但是,当:
(1) 先行词是all, both, none, nothing, anything, everything, much, such等不定代词时;
(2) 先行词被形容词最高级修饰时;
(3) 先行词被序数词(如第一,第二等)修饰时;
(4) 先行词被the very, the only, any, no等词修饰时
只能用that,不能用which连接。
也就是说,在限制性定语从句中,连接物的关系代词用that 总是对的。
这是考试判题的重要思路。不一定要刻意去死背硬记上面四条具体的规则。
↗人 who (宾格用whom)
非限制性定语从句:
↘物 which (不要用that)
注意:非限制性定语从句(连接词前面一般有,号)中,不会出现that
记住上述要点了吗?做几道题,巩固一下上面所讲的内容:
尽量不要查字典!
1)The book ______ is now out of stock
A. which he bought it last week
B. which he bought last week
C. which he had bought last week
D. which it was bought last week
解题思路:如果你选择了A或D,说明你对句子成分的概念,或对关系代词在句子中可以做什么成分还不清楚,应该好好复习什么叫定语从句?一节;如果选C,说明你对时态概念仍不清楚,再复习过去完成时一节;正确答案为B,which在从句中做动词bought的宾语。这里能不能将which改成that呢?当然可以,而且现在更多的是用that.实际使用中,该句子中的which或that可以省掉,即:The book he bought last week is now out of stock. (他上周买的那本书现在脱销。) ,即:当关系代词在从句中当宾语时,可以省掉。
2) He is the man ______ is capable of finishing this task.
A. he
B. whom
C. who
D. which
解题思路:正确答案为C,关系代词在从句中当主语,故选择主格who而不是whom;任何A、D选择说明学生缺乏最基本的语法概念,应补最基础的语法课。
3)The only thing _____ can be done is to stop them from going there.
A. which
B. that
C. what
D. who
解题思路:记住:定语从句中永远不可能出现what做连接词, 记住这句话对理解名词性从句会大有帮助; 既然先行词为thing(事情), 就不能用who连接;同时出现which和that,又没有,号,当然选B(the only thing只能用 that连接,不能用 which连接)。下面一题的思路是一样的:
4)All ______ is a continuous supply of the basic necessities of life.
A. which is needed
B. that is needed
C. what is needed
D. is needed
正确答案是:B 注意:all that = what, 不可能出现all what
5) Some of the roads have been flooded(淹没), ______ our journey more difficult.
A. it makes
B. they make
C. which makes
D. which make
解题思路:四个答题中有两个区分点:第一个区分点是:C、D都用了连接词which,而A、B没有用,根据逗号不能连接两个句子的原则,A、B肯定不对;第二个区分点是:C、D中,动词一个用单数形式makes,一个用复数形式,这里应选择C.为什么?非限制性定语从句中,除了说明先行的某个名词外,还可以说明整个句子的内容,此时动词用单数形式。全句意思:有的路已被洪水淹没,这使我们的旅行更加困难。which代表有的路已被洪水淹没这件事情。
考试时,当出现类似形式的题目而确实又看不懂句子意思时,应倾向于选择which + 单数动词的那个选项。
