四大连词的用法

　　一、which可以做疑问代词和关系代词。

　　1. 用作疑问代词时，意思是"哪一个,哪一些"

　　Which is my seat? 哪个座位是我的?

　　2. 用做关系代词时，意思是"那一个,那一些"

　　He also had a gun with which to defend himself. 他还有一把自卫用的枪。

　　二、That可以做副词，代词，形容词和连词，但是做连词时是最常见的，也是最难鉴别的，that 用作连词，引导名词性从句,状语从句和强调句。

　　1. that在名词性从句中。

　　①引导宾语从句。及物动词后的引导词that可省略。

　　I didn't expect (that) he could win the championship.

　　The teacher pointed out that Tom was not working hard enough.

　　②引导主语从句。通常采用it作形式主语的句型。

　　That the earth goes around the sun is known to everyone.

　　(It is known to everyone that the earth goes around the sun.)

　　③引导表语从句。

　　④引导同位语从句。

　　引导同位语从句的that和引导定语从句的that是不同的。前者只起语法作用，在从句中不作任何成分;而后者在定语从句中作主语、宾语或表语。举例说明：

　　The news that he resigned from office surprised us.

　　The idea that he holds is very common nowadays on campus.

　　2. that引导状语从句

　　④引导让步状语从句。意为"虽然、尽管"。

　　⑤引导条件状语从句。意为"假使、假设"。

　　Supposing that you were in my position, what would you do?

　　On condition that you were lost in the desert, you should ask for help as soon as possible.

　　3. 引导强调句。

　　It is Mrs. White that makes the decision in her family, not her meek little husband.

　　It is an ill wind that blows nobody good.

　　附加：that引导定语从句(做关系代词)

　　2. (用作关系副词,引导关系从句)在那里往那里
