定语从句及相关术语
1.定语从句：修饰一个名词或代词的从句称为定语从句，一般紧跟在它所修饰的先行词后面。2.关系词：引导定语从句的关联词成为关系词关系词有关系代词和关系副词。关系代词有that, which, who, whom, whose, as等；关系副词有where, when, why等。关系词常有3个作用：1，引导定语从句。2，代替先行词。3，在定语从句中担当一个成分。

1 定语可以由形容词，名词，代词，数词，分词，副词，不定式以及介词短语来担任，也可以由一个句子来担任．
定语从句是由关系代词或关系副词引导的从句，其作用是作定语修饰主句的某个名词性成分，相当于形容词，所以又称为形容词性从句．
2 定语从句用来修饰名词，代词或整个主句．
3 定语从句分为限定性和非限定性从句两种。
4 定语从句存在的条件:先行词+关系词（有的版本作关联词）+从句

（一） 限定性定语从句
1. that即可代表事物也可代表人，which代表事物；它们在从句中作主语或宾语，that在从句中作宾语时常可省略关系词，which在从句中作宾语则不能省略。而且，如果which在从句中作“不及物动词＋介词”的介词的宾语，注意介词不要丢掉，而且介词总是放在关系代词which的前边，但有的则放在它原来的位置
2. which作宾语时，根据先行词与定语从句之间的语义关系，先行词与which之间的介词不能丢
3. 代表物时多用which，但在带有下列词的句子中用that而不用which，这些词包括all, anything, much等，这时的that常被省略
4. who和whom引导的从句用来修饰人，分别作从句中的主语和宾语，whom作宾语时，要注意它可以作动词的宾语也可以作介词的宾语
5. where是关系副词，用来表示地点的定语从句
6. when引导定语从句表示时间〔注〕值得一提的是，表示时间“time"一词的定语从句只用when引导，有时不用任何关系代词，当然也不用that引导
By the time you arrive in London, we will have stayed there for two weeks. I still remember the first time I met her. Each time he goes to business trip, he brings a lot of living necessities, such as towers, soap, toothbrush etc.
7. whose是关系代词，修饰名词作定语，相当于所修饰成分的前置所有格
8. 当从句的逻辑主语是some, any, no, somebody, anybody, nobody, something, anything, everything或nothing时，常用there is来引导

（二）非限定性定语从句
非限定性定语从句的作用是对所修饰的成分作进一步说明，通常是引导词和先行词之间用逗号隔开，将从句拿掉后其他部分仍可成立
1. which引导的非限定性定语从句来说明前面整个句子的情况或主句的某一部分
2. 在引导限定性定语从句时，that有时相当于in which, at which, for which或at which
Attitudes towards daydreaming are changing in much the same way that(in which) attitudes towards night dreaming have changed.
人们对白日做梦的态度正在改变，这与人们对夜间做梦的看法的变化有非常相似之处。
I like the music for the very reason that(for which) he dislike it.
我出于某种原因喜欢这种音乐，而他恰恰与我相反。
We arrived the day that(on which) they left.
刚好我们到的那天他们走了。
3. 有时as也可用作关系代词
4. 在非限定性定语从句中，不能用that，而用who, whom代表人，用which代表事物.

1.who指人，在从句中做主语

4. that指人时，相当于who或者whom；指物时，相当于which。

(1) This is the watch which/that I am looking for. (T)
(2) This is the watch for which I am looking. (F)
2. 若介词放在关系代词前，关系代词指人时用whom，不可用who或者that；指物时用which，不能用that；关系代词是所有格时用whose

（七）介词+关系词

Answer 2

定语从句
在复合句中修饰名词或代词的从句叫做定语从句。被定语从句修饰的名词或代词叫做先行词。定语从句必须放在先行词之后。
引导定语从句的关系代词有 who，whom，whose（一般指人），which（一般指物），that（指人或物）等。引导定语从句的关系副词有where（地点），when（时间），why（原因）等。
（一） 由 who，whom，whose引导的定语从句
在这类定语从句中who用作主语， whom用作宾语， whose用作定语。例如：
The student who answered the question was Jack.
The doctor whom they wanted to visit is a scientist.
I know a lady whose husband is a Nobel Prize winner.
（二） 由which引导的定语从句
1） which在从句中作主语或谓语动词的宾语。例如：
I found a door which was unlocked.
Where is the book I bought yesterday?
2） which（whom）在从句中作介词的宾语时，介词一般可放在which（whom）之前，也可放在从句原来的位置上，在含有介词的动词固定词组中介词只能放在原来的位置上，而不能放在which（whom）之前。例如：
Please tell me from whom you borrowed the English novel. （=Please tell me whom you borrowed the English novel from.）
This is the magazine which you are looking for. （look for是固定词组）
（三） 由that引导的定语从句
在这种定语从句中that可以指人或物，代替who，whom，which，在从句中作主语或谓语动词的宾语（不能放在介词后面作介词宾语）。例如：
Would you like to have lunch at a new restaurant I heard about? (that可省略)
但下列两种情况只能用that
1） 序数词或最高级形容词修饰先行词时，要用that. 例如：
The first English novel that I read was A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.
2） all, everything, nothing, something, anything等不定代词作先行词时，要用that。例如：Everything that we saw at the Industrial Exhibition greatly interested us.
（四） 由when, where, why引导的定语从句
I will never forget the day when I arrived in London.
Everyone wants to visit the place where Mr. Jackson once worked.
We don’t know the reason why they didn’t complete their production plan according to schedule.
（五） 限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句
限制性定语从句是句中不可缺少的组成部分，如果没有从句，先行词的意思就不明确，主句也不完整，从句和主句之间一般不用逗号分开。上面所举的定语从句都属于这一类。
非限制性定语从句是主句先行词的补充说明，没有从句并不影响主句意思的明确或完整，这种定语从句一般用逗号与主句分开。在非限制性定语从句中通常不用关系代词that。例如：
He once bought a railway ticket for a woman, which was reported in the newspapers.（which代表主句所述事实）
（这是一本语法手册里的，我自己摘录下来的，第一次在网上见光啊！）

Answer 3

非限定性定语从句的作用是对所修饰的成分作进一步说明，通常是引导词和先行词之间用逗号隔开，将从句拿掉后其他部分仍可成立
1. which引导的非限定性定语从句来说明前面整个句子的情况或主句的某一部分
2. 在引导限定性定语从句时，that有时相当于in which, at which, for which或at which
Attitudes towards daydreaming are changing in much the same way that(in which) attitudes towards night dreaming have changed.
人们对白日做梦的态度正在改变，这与人们对夜间做梦的看法的变化有非常相似之处。
I like the music for the very reason that(for which) he dislike it.
我出于某种原因喜欢这种音乐，而他恰恰与我相反。
We arrived the day that(on which) they left.
刚好我们到的那天他们走了。
3. 有时as也可用作关系代词
4. 在非限定性定语从句中，不能用that，而用who, whom代表人，用which代表事物.
