定语从句修饰什么成分
定语从句:在主从复合句中用作定语的从句叫做定语从句.
(2) 先行词:被定语从句修饰的成份.先行词可以为一个词,短语,或整个主句.
(3) 引导定语从句的词叫关系词,分为关系代词和关系副词.
关系词的作用:
1) 引导定语从句,连接主句和从句,相当于一个连词;
2) 必在从句中作某个句子成份(可以做主语,宾语,表语,定语,状语) 常用的关系代词:that、 which、 who、whom、whose 在从句中作主语,宾语),常用的关系副词(在从句中只作状语):when、why、 where
The student who answered the question was John..
句子中 who answered the question 是定语从句,修饰the student
I know the reason why he was so angry.
why he was so angry 作the reason 的定语
The boy (whom) you are talking to is my brother.
you are talking to 作The boy的定语
I'd like a room whose window faces south.
whose window faces south作room的'定语,room与 window是所属关系,因此用关系代词whose
能不能看懂呢?
附:定语从句详解
定语从句(Attributive Clauses)在句中做定语,修饰一个名词或代词,被修饰的名词,词组或代词即先行词。定语从句通常出现在先行词之后,由关系词(关系代词或关系副词)引出。
关系代词有:who, whom, whose, that, which等。
关系副词有:when, where, why等。
关系代词引导的定语从句
关系代词所代替的先行词是人或物的名词或代词,并在句中充当主语、宾语、定语等成分。关系代词在定语从句中作主语时,从句谓语动词的人称和数要和先行词保持一致。
1)who, whom, that
这些词代替的先行词是人的名词或代词,在从句中所起作用如下:
Is he the man who/that wants to see you?
他就是你想见的人吗?(who/that在从句中作主语)
He is the man whom/ that I saw yesterday.
他就是我昨天见的那个人。(whom/that在从句中作宾语)
2) Whose 用来指人或物,(只用作定语, 若指物,它还可以同of which互换), 例如:
They rushed over to help the man whose car had broken down. 那人车坏了,大家都跑过去帮忙。
Please pass me the book whose (of which) cover is green. 请递给我那本绿皮的书。
