在復合句中修飾名詞或代詞的從句叫定語從句，被修飾的名詞或代詞叫先行詞，引導定語從句的詞叫關系代詞或關系副詞，關系代詞有that, which, who, whom, whose, as，關系副詞有when, where, why.

一、關系詞的基本用法

who 指人，在從句中作主語、賓語或表語

whom 指人，在從句中作賓語

whose 指人或物，在從句中作定語

that 指人或物，在從句中作主語、賓語或表語

which 指物，在從句中作主語或賓語

as 指人、物，在從句中作主語、賓語或表語

when 指時間，在從句中作時間狀語

where 指地點，在從句中作地點狀語

why 指原因，在從句中作原因狀語

（1）The man (whom /who/that) my mother saw in the street is my teacher.

（2）The book which/ that tells us about the earth is interesting.

（3）She lives in a house whose windows faces south.

（4）Do you know the boy whose father is an English teacher?

（5）I have never heard such stories as he tells.

（6）I’ll never forget the day when /on which I joined the army.

（7）I won’t forget the factory where / in which my father worked.

（8）Tell me the reason why you came late.

二、必須用“that”引導的定語從句

1、當先行詞是不定代詞all，little, few, much, anything , everything, none, nothing, no one, some等時。

He did everything that he could to help us.

2、先行詞被all, every, no , some, any , little, much, the only, the very, the right, last , few , just 等修飾時。

The only thing that we can do is to give you some advice.

3、先行詞被序數詞或形容詞最高級修飾時，或先行詞本身就是序數詞或形容詞

最高級時。

This is the most interesting film that I’ve ever seen.

4、當先行時前有such 或the same修飾時，先行詞和關系代詞指同一物時。

She is wearing the same dress that she wore yesterday.

5、先行詞既有人又有物時，

Later they talked of things and persons that they remembered in the school.

6、當主句是以who或which開始時的特殊疑問句時，

Who is the boy that won the gold medal?

7、在同一個句子里，若有兩個定語從句，其中一個關系詞已用了which， 另一個宜用that.

Edison built up a factory which produced things that had never been seen before.

8、當關系代詞在從句中作表語時。（只限于限制性定語從句中）

China is no longer the country that it used to be.

9、當先行詞是集體名詞時，多用that，

He wants to join the team that won the game.

10、that在有些句型中可作為關系副詞，且可省略。

I don’t like the way (that) he talks to me.

三、只用which不用that時情況

1、引導非限制性定語從句時，

Bruce went toward the fire, which was still smoking.

2、先行詞在從句中作介詞的賓語且介詞前置。

This is the house in which Lu Xun lived.

3、先行詞本身是that時，

What’s that which flashed in the sky just now?

4、先行詞后有插入語時，

Here is the English grammar book which, as I’ve told you, will help improve your English.

5、which 用作表語，指人時，一般指從事某種職業或是有某種特性、品質或才能的人。

He is an engineer, which I am not。

關系代as：在限制性定語從句中用在such, the same, as, so之后，as引導的定語從句常采用省略形式。

I have the same book as you（have）.

Take as many as you want.

Here is so big a stone as no man can lift.

This is such a book as was given to me.

四、關系代詞的省略情況

1、關系代在從句中作賓語時。

Have you received the book (that) I sent you last week?

2、關系代詞在從句中作表語時。

Mary is no longer the girl (that) she used to be.

3、關系代詞在從句中作介詞的賓語，而這個介詞又在句末時。

This is the artist (whom) I spoke to you about.

注意：關系代詞的省略是指在限制性定語從句中，在非限制性定語從句中，關系代詞不能省略。

五、帶介詞的定語從句

1、固定詞組，介詞置于后，關系代詞使用靈活。

This is the child (whom / who/ that) she is looking after.

2、非固定詞組，介詞位置靈活，關系代詞使用嚴格。

The man (whom/ who/ that) I spoke to is a friend of mine.

The man to whom I spoke is a friend of mine.

3、介詞詞組（關系代詞遠離先行詞）

In front of, on top of ,at the foot of, with the help of, as a result of.

We stand in a building in front of which stands a lab.

We arrived at a hill, on top of which stood a tower.

4、代詞/數詞+of +關系代詞

He has written many books, most of which are for children.

We have many students, two of whom have won prizes of international competitions.

5、介詞+關系代詞+代詞/數詞

He has written many books, of which most are in Chinese.

6、介詞+whose 修飾后面的名詞

He is the very man in whose pocket I found my lost money.

六、限制性定語從句與非限制性定語從句的區別

限制性定語從句對先行詞起限制確定作用。如果沒有它，主句的意思就不完整，這種%s strange.

2和主句的關系十分密切，不可用逗號隔開，在口語中前后沒有停頓。

He is the man whose father died last week.

That is the reason why I didn’t open the door.

非限制性定語從句與主句的關系不十分密切，只是對先行詞起描述或補充說明的作用，省略后也不影響全句的意思，非限制性定語碏拗菩遠ㄓ锎泳洌有“正如”的含義，因此，下列句式中多用as.

as has been said above as anybody can see

as we had expected as (it) appears

Things are not always as they appear.

5、which 引導非限制定語從句，指代整個主句的內容，從句只能置于句尾。

The decision was postponed, which was exactly what he wanted.

6、which 引導非限制性定語%tudy?

（5）Is this school ______ is a senior one?

A. that/which B. where C. the one

D. the one where 2as 引導非限制性定語從句，指代整個主句的內容，從句可置于句首，句中和句尾。

As everyone knows, Tom is good at English.

The earth, as we know, moves round the sun.

3、非限制性定語從句中謂語為被動時，常用as 作主語。

as is said/ known/ announced/ reported/ mentioned/ expected/ disused等。

As is known to all, Taiwan is part of China.

4、as引導非限制性定語從句，有“正如”的含義，因此，下列句式中多用as.

as has been said above as anybody can see

as we had expected as (it) appears

Things are not always as they appear.

5、which 引導非限制定語從句，指代整個主句的內容，從句只能置于句尾。

The decision was postponed, which was exactly what he wanted.

6、which 引導非限制性定語從句，指代主句中的一個詞（先行詞）從句置于先行詞后，可在句中或句尾。

The football match, which I watched yesterday, is very interesting.

7、which 引導非限制性定語從句，指代整個主句的內容，從句的謂語帶有賓語，有的還帶賓語補足語。

After that things improved, which astonished me.

Water changes into steam, which is known to be a physical chang (that/ which)

2、是用when還是用that, which

（1）May 1 is the day ______ we spent together.

（2）May 1 is the day ________i joined the army.

A. that/ which B. when

當先行詞是表示時間的名詞時，作時間狀語時，用when, 若作主語或賓語時，就用that/ which.

3、定語從句與強調結構的區別

（1）It was in this house ______ he was born.

（2）It was this house ______ he was born.

（3）It was in the house ________ he used to live that the exhibition was held..

A. 5那別主要是看連接詞是否在從句中作成分，作成分的?B E. the one that / which

遇到這類句子，先將其變成肯定句，再看主句是否缺少表語。若缺表語，則必須用the one的形式，接著再看the one在從句中作什么成分，若作狀語，則必須用the one where，若作主語或賓語時，則用the one (that/ which)

2、是用when還是用that, which

（1）May 1 is the day ______ we spent together.

（2）May 1 is the day ________i joined the army.

A. that/ which B. when

當先行詞是表示時間的名詞時，作時間狀語時，用when, 若作主語或賓語時，就用that/ which.

3、定語從句與強調結構的區別

（1）It was in this house ______ he was born.

（2）It was this house ______ he was born.

（3）It was in the house ________ he used to live that the exhibition was held..

A. where B. that C. which D. there

判斷是否是強調結構的方法是去掉it is /was …that, 若整個句子結構和意義不受影響，則為強調結構，否則為定語從句。

4、定語從句與其他從句的區別

（1）定語從句與地點狀語從句的區別是看有無表示地點的名詞作先行詞，有則是定語從綼tion:
