Question

—Where did you buy the T-shirt？ —It was in the shopping mall __ my mother works.

A.that B.where
我认为，如果选A，则是强调句；
如果选B，则是定语从句。
可答案是选B， 为什么啊？

Answer 1

其实这道题考查的是强调句中又复合定语从句的知识点，语法中规定定语从句应该包含在强调句之中，而强调句的后面部分可以省略，这句话完整的是It was in the shopping mall where my mother works (that I buy the T-shirt.)

Answer 2

此句是定语从句 如何选择关系词，只要看从句的谓语，work是不及物动词，根据意思后要接表示地点的关系词。

那如果要改为强调句，那该怎么改？？

追答

“It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who + 句子其他部分”是强调句型。除了谓语动词不能强调外，句子中其它成分都可以用该句型加以强调。
一、强调句型的功能：
1. 强调主语
被强调的主语是人时，可用it is/was ... that/ who ...，但如果被强调的部分既包括人又包括物，只能用that。
It is Wei Fang who has broken the record. 是魏方打破了纪录。
2. 强调宾语
It was me that she helped yesterday. 昨天她帮助的人是我。
3. 强调宾语补足语
It was chairman of the meeting that we elected him. 我们选他是做会议的主席。
4. 强调状语
英语中的状语种类很多,一般都可以用it is / was ... that ...来强调。
① 时间状语
It was at the age of 5 that he left his hometown for Taiwan.
注意：如果强调由not…until/till 引导的时间状语时，要否定前移。如：
It was not until after liberation that he returned to his hometown.
② 频率状语
It is once in a while that he comes to see me.
③ 地点状语
It was in this street that the car accident happened yesterday.
④ 方式状语
It was by turns that they took care of their sick mother.
⑤ 目的状语
It was to catch the early bus that he got up early.
⑥ 原因状语
It was because the water had risen that they could not cross the river.
二、强调句的一般疑问句和特殊疑问句
1. 强调句的一般疑问句句型是：Is/Was + it + that +句子其它成分。如：
Was it in the office that he saw you just now？他刚才见你的地方是在办公室吗？
2. 强调句的特殊疑问句的基本句型是：疑问词+ is/was + it + that + 句子其它成分。如：
When was it that you first went to the Great Wall？
你究竟什么时候第一次去长城的？

Answer 3

直觉是B，用that的话，从句部分就应该是 my mother works in
(work in the shopping mall)

Answer 4

当然选择B拉。。。强调句是去掉了it is ..that句子仍成立，可是上面这个句子明显去掉了不成立呀。望采纳

追问

In the shopping mall my mother works.成立！

追答

不对的。work是不及物动词，in 应该不能提前的吧。不是in the shopping mall ，而应该是the shop mall（that)my mother works in.
