where : 当先行名词在从句中当地点状语时,用关系副词where连接
例如:
The crime rate rises in cities where the unemployment rate increases. 句中的where = in cities, 表示行为发生的地点。
这里的要点是能否区分是用that 还是用 where, 即:是做主语、宾表语,还是做地点状语,例如:
I love the small town that we visited last week.
句中town做动词visited的宾语,即参观过的小镇,故用that连接。
I love the small town where I lived during my childhood.
句中town 是动词lived的地点,即童年时住过的小镇,故用where.
这也是定语从句的一个考点。
when : 当先行名词在从句中当时间状语时,用关系副词when连接, 例如:
July is the month when we have a lot of rain.
注意when定语从句后推的现象,例如:
I think the day will finally come when air pollution can be put under control.
放在主句后面作非限制定语从句时,when一般译为此时,那时, 例如:
The meeting will be put off until next month, when we will have made all the preparations.
另一个关系副词是why,由于它固定与the reason搭配, 即: the reason why,不难理解,一般也不作为考试的重点。例如:
This is the reason why the electronic computer cannot entirely replace man. 这就是电子计算机不能完全代替人的原因。
whose :做先行词的定语,汉语为的,不要考虑是否是限制性或非限制性定语从句, 例如:
Pay attention to that boy whose temperature is very high. / 注意那个体温很高的男孩。
介词 + which
先看两个句子:
This is the house. He has lived in the house for over 30 years.
变为定语从句
This is the house in which he has lived for over 30 years.
上述句子中,先行词在从句中充当介词宾语,形成介词 + which / whom的形式,考试时要求作出1)要不要介词;2)若要,使用什么介词的判断。由于英语中介词搭配多为习惯用法,没有多少规律可循,因此这是定语从句考试的一个难点。
记住四个字:瞻前顾后
瞻前:先看看先行词一般与什么介词搭配,例如:
There are occasions _____ which joking is not permissible.
Joking is not permissible _____ occasions.
常与occasion搭配的介词是什么?on, 即:
Joking is not permissible on occasions.
There are occasions on which joking is not permissible.
顾后:看看谓语动词常与什么介词搭配,例如:
This car, ____ which I paid a lot of money, is now out of date.
I paid a lot of money ______ this car.
Pay for something 是一个固定的搭配,因此应填介词 for
当A、B、C、D中出现 介词 + which / whom 选项时,而你又确实看不懂时,应倾向于选择 介词 + which / whom的形式,例如:
The two elements _____ water is made are the gases oxygen and hydrogen.
A. that
B. which
C. with which
D. of which
倾向选择C、D;正确答案D,be made of :
The two elements are gases .
Water is made of the two elements.
两个句子一合并,便是该句选择。
其他应注意的确问题:
同位语从句只能用that连接
常见的同位语先行词有:fact, possibility, idea, belief, doubt, news, order, promise, evidence, suggestion等,例如:
Is there any possibility that all the villagers can send their children to school?
There can be no doubt that he is a qualified doctor.
as 也可以做关系代词用于连接定语从句,特别是在suchas, the same as 以及正如的结构中,例如:
I have never seen a thing as he described.
As was expected, the performance was a great success.
把该句理解为:The performance was a great success, which was expected,就比较容易理解as的这种用法。
将定语从句的连接用三句话归纳一下:
↗ 人用who / whom
先行词在从句中当主、宾、表语 定语用whose
↘ 物用that / 非限制用which
↗地点状语用:where
先行词在从句中当 原因状语用:why
↘ 时间状语用:when
介词 + which / whom结构:瞻前顾后
