先行词是everything的定语从句

英语语法,一些关于定语从句的疑问
先行词是all,nothing,everything等不定代词的时候,关系词只可以用that.something可以吗?为什么有些语法书表明不可以,有些语法书却说可以呢?

Answer 1

不定式都用that通常只用关系代词that,不用 which,who或whom的几种情况
1.当先行词是all,everything,nothing,something,anything,little,much,none,few等时.如：
All that you want are here.
2.当先行词被all,no,some,any,every,a few,a little,much,only,very等修饰时.如：
There is no person that doesn’t make mistakes.
3.当先行词被序数词或形容词最高级修饰时.如：
This is the best film that I have ever seen.
4.当出现两个或两个以上的先行词,并同时兼指人和物时.如：
　We are talking about the people and countries that we have visited.
5.当主句是以which 或 who 开头的特殊疑问句时.如：
　Who is the person that is standing over there?
6.当定语从句为there be 句型时,关系代词只能用that,但经常可以省略.如：
　I know the difference (that) there is between you.
7.当关系代词在从句中作表语时,常用that.如：
He does not seem to be the man that he was.他似乎和过去不一样了.
