定语从句有哪些?
定语从句就其与先行词的关系而言,可分为限定性和非限定性两种,这两种的主要区别如下:
限定性定语从句,起限定作作用,若省去,原句意义不完整;其紧跟先行词后,无逗号隔开;起修饰先行词的作用,常译为先行词的定语,关系词有时可由that代替,有时也可省略。
非限定性定语从句,起补充说明作用,若省去,原句的意义不受影响;有逗号与主句分开,既可以修饰先行词也可以修饰整个主句;常译为另一分句,关系词不可用that,也不可省略。

限定性
限定性定语从句
意义:
限定性定语从句对被修饰的先行词有限定制约作用,使该词的含义更具体,更明确。限制性定语从句不能被省略,否则句意就不完整,例如I met some one who said he knows you.
在引导限定性定语从句时,that有时相当于in which,at which,for which或on which
(1)Attitudes towards daydreaming are changing in much the same way that(in which) attitudes towards night dreaming have changed. 人们对白日做梦的态度正在改变,这与人们对夜间做梦的看法的变化有非常相似之处。
(2)I like the music for the very reason that(for which) he dislike it. 我出于某种原因喜欢这种音乐,而他恰恰与我相反。
(3)We arrived the day that(on which) they left. 刚好我们到的那天他们走了。
在限定性定语从句中,当关系代词在从句中担任动词宾语时,关系代词可省略。
(1)The book (that/ which) I am reading is very interesting. 我在读的书很有趣。
(2)Is there anything (that) you wanted? 想要什么东西吗?
非限定性
非限定性定语从句
意义:
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。在非限制性定语从句的前面往往有逗号隔开,如
(1)The house,which I bought has a lovely garden. 我买的房子带着个漂亮的花园。
(2)This novel, which I have read three times, is very touching. 这本我已经读过三遍的小说很感人。
1.非限定性定语从句可将整个主句作为先行词, 对其进行修饰,这时从句谓语动词要用第三人称单数,例如:
(1)He seems not to have grasped what I meant, which greatly upsets me.他似乎没理解我的意思,这使我心烦。
(2)Liquid water changes to vapor, which is called evaporation. 液态水变为蒸汽,这就叫做蒸发。
2. 在非限定定语从句中,有时as也可用作关系代词,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。例如:
(1)The boy has as much progress as we had expected. 正像我们所预料的那样,这个男孩取得了大的进步。
(2) As everyone knows ,China is a beautiful country with a long history . 每个人都知道,中国是一个有着悠久历史的美丽国家。
3. 在非限定性定语从句中,不能用从句做主语
(1)[错]The boys ,who are playing football ,are from Class One. 在踢足球的男孩们是一班的。
(2)[错]I helped an old man ,who lost his way ,yesterday . 昨天,我帮助了一个迷路的老人。
