定语从句中whose的用法
定语从句中whose的用法如下:
1、whose为who的所有格,作“某(些)人的……”解,它所指代的先行词必须是人,其引导的定语从句修饰它的先行词,同时它本身在从句中作定语。
This is the little girl whoseparents were killed in the great earthquake.这就是在那次大地震中失去双亲的那个小姑娘。
2、whose也可作which的所有格,作“某(些)物的……”解,它所指代的先行词必须是物,其语法功能同上。
The company whose name was Notcowas in Australia.那个名叫诺特可的公司设在澳大利亚。
3、whose可修饰定语从句中的主语、宾语、介词宾语等不同成分。
Mr King,whoselegs were badly hurt,was quickly taken to hospital.金先生的腿受了重伤,很快就被送往医院。(whose修饰定语从句中的主语legs)。
We shall have to make a decisionabout Ms King,whose story I‘ve just told you.关于金女士的情况,我刚才已经告诉你们了,我们得对她的事情作出决定。(whose修饰定语从句中的宾语 story)。
4、whose既可引导限制性定语从句,亦可引导非限制性定语从句。
The boss in whose department MrKing worked called at the hospital.金先生工作单位的老板到医院来探视。(限制性定语从句)。
5、由于whose具有兼作who和 which的所有格的双重功能,故在指人时可用of whom代替whose,指物时可用ofwhich代替whose。
This kind of book is for childrenwhose native language(=the native language of whom)is Chinese.这种书是给母语是汉语的儿童看的。
