英语中什么是定语从句
定语从句是初中英语的一个重要知识点,下面总结了英语定语从句的相关知识点,供大家参考。
什么是定语从句
定语从句(也称关系从句、形容词性从句),一个句子跟在一个名词或代词(先行词)后进行修饰限定(对词句进行补充、修饰、限定,进而使原句内容更完整),就叫做定语从句。按语法句式,定语从句在整个句子中做定语的成分 。被修饰的词叫先行词。定语从句不同于单词作定语的情况,它通常只能放在被修饰的词(即先行词)之后。
定语从句由关系词(关系代词、关系副词)引导,关系代词、关系副词位于定语从句句首。
定语从句易错易混点归纳
1.关系代词和关系副词的混用。
例:I’ll never forget the days when I spent in New York with you.改:when应改为which或that。
2.固定句式出差错。
例:Mary is so lovely a girl as everybody loves her.改:as应改为that。
3.主谓不一致。
例:Tom is one of the students who likes swimming.改:likes应改为like。
4.与强调句型及其他句型的混合。
例:Was it in the shop that you bought the recorder that you lost your pen?改:第一个that应改为where。
5.特殊名词作先行词时关系词的选取错误。
例:I don’t like the way which you speak to her.改:应在which前加in或将which改为that或去掉。
