定语从句that和which的区别

Answer 1

1、非限制性定语从句

引导非限制性定语从句时，通常要用which，不用that：

The current, which is very rapid, makes the river dangerous. 

水流湍急，使这条河很危险。

He has to work on Sundays, which he doesn’t like. 

他得在星期天工作，他是不喜欢这样的。

2、介词作宾语

直接放在介词后作宾语时，通常要用which：

She may be late, in which case we ought to wait for her. 

她可能晚到，那样我们就要等等她。

The documents for which they were searching have been recovered.

他们找寻的文件已找到了。

This morning some port wine came, for which I have to thank you. 

今天早上送来一些波尔图葡萄酒，为此我得向你道谢。

注：有时“介词+which”引导的定语从句可以转换成“介词+which+不定式”结构：

He had only the long nights in which he could study. =He had only the long nights in which to study. 

他只有漫漫长夜可用来学习。

He had a couple of revolvers with which he could defend himself.= He had a couple of revolvers with which to defend himself. 

他只有一两把手枪用来自卫。

3、先行词

当先行词是下列不定代词或被它们修饰时much, little, none, all, few, every(thing), any(thing), no(thing) 等时，通常用that：

All that she lacked was training. 

她缺的只是训练。

Have you everything that you need?

你需要的东西都有了吗?

The sleeping man’s subconscious mind retained everything that was said around him. 

这位酣睡的人头脑的下意识能记住他周围的人说的话。

She would never do anything that was not approved of by her parents. 

她父母不赞同的事她绝不会做。

Answer 3

which和that的区别：

只能用that而不能用which的情形
(1) 当先行词为：all, little, few, much, none 及 some-, any-, no-, every- 与 thing 所组成的复合单词时，只能用that。如：
There is nothing that will stop us making progress. 没有事情会阻止我们进步。
(2) 当先行词前面有only, some, any, no, every, little, few, much, all, very等形容词修饰时，只能用that。如：
This is the only problem that we can’t work out. 这是我们不能解决的唯一的一个问题。
(3) 当先行词由形容词的最高级或序数词修饰时，只能用that。如：
This is the most interesting book that I have ever read. 这是我读过的最有趣的书。
(4) 当先行词同时包括人和物时，只能用that。如：
Luxun and his works that we are familiar with are considered great. 人们认为我们所熟识的鲁迅及其作品都很伟大。
(5) 当先行词在定语从句 中作表语时，只能用that。如：
This is a book that I have been looking for since last week. 这就是那本自上周以来我一直在寻找的书。
(6) 当主句是以 which 开头的特殊疑问句时，只能用 that。如：
Which is the picture that you drew yesterday? 你昨天画的那张画是哪一张?
只能用which而不能用that的情形
(1) 当非限制性定语从句中的先行词指物时，只能用 which。如：
The pencil-case, which I bought last week, is missing. 那个铅笔盒，我上周买的，现在不见了。
(2) 关系代词 前面有介词时，只能用which。如：
The tree under which we used to take a rest has been cut down. 我们过去常在下面休息的那棵树已砍掉了。
(3) 先行词为代词 that 或 that 所修饰时，只能用 which。如：
I don’t take that which is too expensive. 我不要太贵的那一个。

Answer 4

which和that的区别：
1只用which,不用that的情况。
1)which可用在非限制性定语从句中。例如：
The project,which lasted four years,cost one billion dollars.这项工程历时四年，耗资十亿美元。
2)which可用前置介词宾语。例如：
This is the house in which we lived three years ago.这是我们三年前住过的那所房子。
2只用that，不用which的情况。
1)that相当于关系副词when,where,why,in the way＝in which。例如：
I'll never forget the Monday that /when you first arrived.我将永远不会忘记你初到的那个星期一！
Do you know anywhere that I can get fruit?
你知道我能在哪里买到水果吗？
2)that既可指物，也可指人。例如：
The people that worked on the project made a good effort.从事那项工程的人们做了很大努力。
3)当主句以here,there开头时，常用that。例如：
Here is the place that you've been looking for.这就是你一直找的地方。
4)当先行词是序数词、形容词最高级或先行词被序数词或形容词最高级修饰时，常用that。例如：
The first(thing)that should bed one is to get the book.应该做的第一件事是弄到那本书。
5)英语的学习不是一朝一夕的，是需要长时间的积累过程，单词，语法，听力，这些是最基本的，不过最主要的是口语的练习，多听多练是最有效的，最好是可以经常和外国人交流，进行语言的交换，文化的交流也是可以提升外语的。
