where引导定语从句例句
一、where引导的定语从句
请分析下面两个简单句:
句①I know a garden.
句②You can find wild strawberries there.
把句②变为句①的定语从句,句①中的agarden做定语从句的先行词。在句②中there指句①中提到的agarden也就是定语从句的先行词,there在句中做地点状语,因此要用where引导定语从句,代替句②中的there,也就是说there就不能出现在定语从句中了。由此得到句 ③I know a garden where you can find wild strawberries.
句②还可以写作句 ④You can find wild strawberries in it。把句④变为句①的定语从句,因为it做介词in的宾语,先行词是agarden,指物。在这种定语从句中介词常常提到定语从句的开始,这时关系代词只能使用which替代it,it就不能在定语从句中出现了。由此得到句⑤即:I know a garden in which you can find wild strawberries.
请把下面每组的两句话合并为一句,把第二句话变为第一句的定语从句。
第一组:
This is the village.
I was born there.
This is the village where I was born.
二、如何确定定语从句的引导词
1. 定语从句如果修饰人,常常用关系代词who,有时也用that(作主语时多用who)。例如:
He is a man who / that often helps others. 他是一位经常帮助别人的人。
如果这个关系代词在从句中作宾语, 就应当用whom或that, 但这种情况往往都可以把引导词省略,且在口语中可用who代替whom。例如:
Here is the man (whom / that / who) you would like to see. 这就是你想见的那个人。
值得注意的是,如果是在介词的后面就只能用whom。例如:
The boy to whom I spoke is my brother. 刚才和我说话的那个男孩是我弟弟,英语语法《如何确定定语从句的引导词》。
如果表示“……的”时,就用who的所有格whose。例如:
Is there anyone in our class whose father is a doctor? 我们班有谁的父亲是当医生的吗?
whose的先行词也可是物。例如:
The house whose windows face the street is my uncle‘s. 窗户面朝街的那座房子是我叔叔的`。
2. 定语从句如果修饰“物”,用关系代词that的时候较多,有时也用which。例如:
It‘s a computer which / that costs six thousand yuan. 这是一台价值六千元的电脑。
当这个代词在从句中用作宾语时,往往都会把它省略。例如:
The present(that / which) you gave me is very beautiful. 你给我的那件礼物非常漂亮。
在介词的后面只能用which。例如:
This is the book about which they are talking. 这就是他们正在谈论的那本书。
3. 定语从句修饰一个表示时间的词时,用关系副词when。例如:
I will never forget the day when I met her. 我将永远不会忘记我见到她的那一天。
4. 定语从句修饰地点名词时,用关系副词where。例如:
This is the place where we lived for five years. 这就是我们曾经住过五年的地方。
5. 定语从句修饰一个表示原因的词时,用关系副词why。例如:
I know the reason why she didn‘t come yesterday. 我知道她昨天没来的原因。
