whose引导的定语从句
whose引导的定语从句用法如下:
一、whose为who的所有格,作“某(些)人的……”解,它所指代的先行词必须是人,其引导的定语从句修饰它的先行词,同时它本身在从句中作定语。
This is the little girl whose parents were killed in the great earthquake.
这就是在那次大地震中失去双亲的那个小姑娘。
Mr Liu wants to talk to the students whose homework hasn't been handed in.刘老师要跟那些没交家庭作业的学生谈话。
二、whose也可作which的所有格,作“某(些)物的……”解,它所指代的先行词必须是物,其语法功能同上。
The company whose name was Notco was in Australia.那个名叫诺特可的公司设在澳大利亚。
We live in a house whose windows open to the south.我们居住在一所窗户朝南开的房子里。
三、whose可修饰定语从句中的主语、宾语、介词宾语等不同成分。
Mr King,whose legs were badly hurt,was quickly taken to hospital.金先生的腿受了重伤,很快就被送往医院。(whose修饰定语从句中的主语legs)
We shall have to make a decision about Ms King,whose story I've just told you.关于金女士的情况,我刚才已经告诉你们了,我们得对她的事情作出决定。(whose修饰定语从句中的宾语story)
四、whose既可引导限制性定语从句,亦可引导非限制性定语从句。
The boss in whose department Mr King worked called at the hospital.金先生工作单位的老板到医院来探视。(限制性定语从句)
关系代词whose引导定语从句时,既可指人,又可指物。关系代词与其后的名词构成所有格,即whose+名词=the+名词+of which/whom=of which/whom the+名词。
1、whose用作关系代词时,它并不表示“谁的”,而是表示“……的……”,在具体语境中需要灵活处理。
He is the man whose car was stolen.他就是汽车被窃的人。
2、不要以为whose引导定语从句时,其先行词一定是指人,其实也可以是指事物(包括动物)的名词。
It was an island whose name I have forgotten.这是一座岛,名字我忘了。
3、Whose不仅可以引导限制性定语从句,也可以引导非限制性定语从句。
One of the Britons,whose identity has not been revealed,was taken to hospital.其中一位英国人被送往医院,他的身份还没有透露。
4、引导定语从句的“whose+名词”有时可以换成其他结构,注意词序的变化。
The house whose windows are broken is empty.破了窗户的那座房子是空的。
5、根据语境需要,whose前可以使用语义需要的介词。
I wish to thank Professor Smith,without whose help I would never have got this far.我要感谢史密斯教授,没有他的帮助,我不会走到今天这一步。
