way引导的定语从句
方法1 way作先行词,如果是在定语从句中 是作主语或宾语 与其他名词做先行词 用法一样
如 this is the way that/which helps me a lot 作主语 这就是 对我帮助很大的方法 this is the way that/which /省略he told me 作宾语 这就是他告诉我的那种
方法2 way作先行词,如果是在定语从句中 作状语
有三种引导方法：
a .the way in which
b.the way that
c.the way
省略关系词如 this is the way /in which/that/ he studies english 这就是他学习英语的方法the way 在定从中 作方式状语 修饰 学习 也就是 他用这种方法 学习英语
way引导的定语从句
(一)the way作先行词，后接定语从句
以下3种表达都是正确的。例如：“我喜欢她笑的样子。”
1. the way+ in which +从句：I like the way in which she smiles.
2. the way+ that +从句：I like the way that she smiles.
3. the way + 从句(省略了in which或that)：I like the way she smiles.
上述句子都正确，意思也完全相同。但是，the way之后用in which引导的定语从句最为正式；省略了that或in which是最自然、最常用的表达；然而，the way之后用that引导定语从句，最不常见。
注意，在先行词the way之后不用how。因为引导定语从句的关系词是that而不是how,因此，《现代英语惯用法词典》中所给出的下面两个句子是错误的：
This is the way how it happened.
This is the way how he always treats me.
(二)the way的语义
1. the way=as(像)
Please do it the way I’ve told you.请按照我告诉你的'那样做。
I'm talking to you just the way I'd talk to a boy of my own.我和你说话就像和自己孩子说话一样。
Plant need water the way they need sun light. 植物需要水就像它们需要阳光一样。
2. the way=how(怎样，多么)
No one can imagine the way he misses her.没人能够想象出他是多么想念她!
I want to find out the way a volcano has formed.我想弄清楚火山是怎样形成的。
He was filled with anger at the way he had been treated.他因遭受如此待遇而怒火满腔。
That’s the way she speaks.她就是那样讲话的。
3. the way=according as (根据)
The way you answer the questions, you must be an excellent student.从你回答问题来看，你一定是名优秀的学生。
The way most people look at you, you'd think a trashman was a monster.从大多数人看你的目光中,你就知道垃圾工在他们眼里是怪物。
The way I look at it, it’s not what you do that matters so much.依我看，重要的并不是你做什么。

The boy must be a stranger here, the way he looks into the shop windows.根据男孩向商店橱窗张望德样子，看来他一定是这里的陌生人。
4.the way=because(因为)
No wonder that girl looks down upon me, the way you encourage her.难怪那个女孩看不起我, 原来是你怂恿的。
How silly she is, the way she asks questions about this and that!她不断地问这问那，显得好不愚蠢!
5. the way=that(引导名词性从句)
It was boring the way he kept complaining to his wife.他一直向他妻子抱怨令人心烦。
It was shameful the way she was treated. 她竟然受到那样的对待，太不象话了。
It's a crime the way he bullies his children. 像他那样欺负自己的孩子真缺德。
例子拓展：
In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. 1770年，这间琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。
the way在句中的语法作用是什么?其意义如何?在阅读时，学生经常会碰到一些含有the way的句子，如：No one knows the way he invented the machine. He did not do the experiment the wayhis teacher told him.等等。他们对the way 的用法和含义比较模糊。
在这几个句子中，the way之后的部分都是定语从句。第一句的意思是，“没人知道他是怎样发明这台机器的。”the way的意思相当于how；第二句的意思是，“他没有按照老师说的那样做实验。”the way 的意思相当于as。在In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted.这句话中，the way也是as的含义。随着现代英语的发展，the way的用法已越来越普遍了。
