as的非限制性定语从句
非限制性定语从句:
即非限定性定语从句,起补充说明作用,缺少也不会影响全句的理解,在非限定性定语从句的前面往往有逗号隔开,如若将非限定性定语从句放在句子中间,其前后都需要用逗号隔开。由as, which 引导的非限定性定语从句,as和which可代整个主句,相当于and this或and that。As一般放在句首,which在句中。
as引导的非限制性定语从句
as引出非限定性定语从句时,代替整个主句,对其进行说明但通常用于像as we all know, as it is known, as is known to all, as it is, as is said above, as always mentioned above, as is usual, as is often the case, as is reported in the newspaper等句式中。as在非限定性定语从句中作主语、表语或宾语,且引出的.从句位置比较灵活,可位于句首或句末,也可置于主句中间。通常均由逗号将其与主句隔开。as有“正如……,就像……”之意。
如:As is known to the United States, Mark Twain is a great American writer.
美国人都知道,马克·吐温是一位伟大的美国作家。
(as在从句中作主语)

他正在全神贯注地工作,他过去经常这样。
(as在从句中作表语)
As we all know, the earth is round.
众所周知,地球是圆的。
(as在从句中作宾语)
使用规则及注意事项:
1、which引导的非限定性定语从句是用来说明前面整个句子的情况或主句的某一部分。
2、as有时也可用作关系代词 。
as引导非限制性定语从句,若as在从句中作主语,其引导的句子可以放在句首,也可以放在句中。但which引导的非限制性定语从句只能放句中。
例句:
As is reported in the newspaper, some artistic treasures (艺术珍品) will beon show at the exhibition on the weekend.
3、在非限定性定语从句中,关系词不能用that。
非限制性定语从句动词用单数的情况有哪些
情况A:
写完主句后,你要看看自己的主句是不是一个名词结尾,而这个主句是不是作为从句的主语。如果不是名词结尾,关系代词用which,从句的谓语动词可以用单数
譬如说我想说:很多小公司的员工都要工作很勤奋,这已经成为一个普遍现象。
前面是主句,工作很勤奋,work hard不是名词,所以从句我用了which has
Many employees of small companies have to work very hard, which has become the norm in the workplace.
情况B:
写完主句后,如果主句是一个名词结尾,而且从句不管修饰句子还是修饰这个名词都说的过去,这个时候要看名词的性质,
B1这个名词如果是单数或者是不可数名词,相对来说比较简单。
如果我想说:很多人现在都很注意员工培训,这对事业有帮助。
前面主句的结尾是一个名词,training,这是一个不可数名词,这个时候要看名词是否是单数或者是不可数名词,如果是,谓语动词可以用单数。
Many people today pay attention to on-the-job training, which is important to their career success.
B2这个名词是复数,特别还是表示人的名词,要特别小心处理
如果我想说:很多人现在都很注意和同事的关系,这对事业有帮助。
这个句子就比较复杂,有可能结尾是colleagues,也可能是relationships
我会尽量使用情态动词,can, may等,这么写,因为情态动词没有单复数,不管修饰前面整个句子,还是前面的复数名词,语法都没问题
Many people today pay attention to their working relationships, which can be vital to their career achievement.(√)
如果我的从句谓语动词用are,就不是很好,因为如果修饰整句主句,那么谓语动词用单数才对。
Many people today pay attention to their working relationships, whicharevital to their career achievement.(×)
如果我的主句用colleagues结尾,问题就很更大,colleagues是人,和后面的关系代词which有冲突
Many people today pay attention to their relationship with colleagues, which are important to their career success. (×)
情况C:
写完主句后,如果主句是一个名词结尾,而且从句肯定只可能修饰这个名词,而不可能是前面的句子,这个时候从句的先行词和谓语单复数随著名词变化
如果我想说:很多度假的人都对历史建筑感兴趣,这些建筑都有独特的建筑方式。
这个句子的结尾是historic sites,而且铁定是从句的主语,从句不可能修饰“感兴趣”这个事情。
Many holidaymakers are interested in historic sites, which normally have unique architectural styles.(√)
