使用定语从句的几个误区.doc

使用定语从句的几个误区有的英语初学者在使用定语从句时，有时会在从句中误加与关系代词同义的人称代词，这是不对的。如：This is the book that I have read _ dozens of times. But I have never read _. A. it, B. ，itC. it, it D. ，此题应选B。容易误选C。本题第二句填代词 it, 这容易理解。而第一句不能填 it, 则是考生很容易忽视的。显然第一句中的 that I have read dozens of times 是修饰 the book 的定语从句，此句中的动词read不能再接用 it作宾语，因为它已有宾语that(也可省略)。在做有关定语从句的试题时，考生千万不要在定语从句中重复使用与关系词(或先行词)指代相同的人称代词。如：我们昨晚看的电影很精彩。误：The film we saw it last night was wonderful. 正：The film we saw last night was wonderful. 刚才同你讲话的那个人是谁? 误：Whos the man you just talked to him? 正：Whos the man you just talked to? 你昨天借给我的书很有趣。误：The book you lent it me yesterday was very interesting. 正：The book you lent me yesterday was very interesting. 他就是去年死了妻子的那个人。误：He is the man whosehis wife died last year. 正：He is the man whose wife died last year. 初学者在使用定语从句时，有个经常犯的错误就是分不清是定语从句还是其他从句。请看下面的题目：Is this room _ he lived in last year? Is this the room _ he lived in last year? A. that, thatB. the one, the one C. that, the oneD. the one, that此题应选D。容易误选A。为了便于分析，我们先将以上两句还原成陈述句(注意is的位置)。如：(1)This room is _ he lived in last year. (2)This is the room _he lived in last year. 第(1)句填the one, 用作表语，其后的 (that) he lived in last year是用以修饰the one 的定语从句。此句若直接填that, 则不是定语从句(因为没有先行词)，而是表语从句。但是由于引导表语从句的that不能充当句了成分，而其后的介词in又缺宾语，所以导致错误。第(2)句填 that, 它是关系代词，用以引导定语从句(he lived in last year)修饰the room。请做以下类例试题。如：(1)Is this the book _ you want to buy? Is this book _ you want to buy? A. that, that B. the one, the one C. that, the oneD. the one, that(2)Is this room _ he lived in 5 years ago? Is this the room _ he lived in 5 years ago? A. that, that B. the one, the one C. that, the oneD. the one, that答案：(1) C (2) D有的同学一看到先行词是表示时间、地点、原因的名词，就认为一定要用关系副词，其实也不一定。在此情况下，还要看关系词在定语从句中是用作什么成分，若是用作状语，则用关系副词，若不是用作状语(如用作主语、宾语等)则不能用关系副词，而用关系代词。比较：This is the factory where I want to work. 这就是我想工作的工厂。(work为不及物动词where在从句中用作状语)This is the factory that I want to visit. 这就是我想参观的工厂。(visit为及物动词，that用作visit的宾语)The reason why he cant come is that he is ill. 他没来的是因为他病了。(come为不及物动词，why在定语从句中用作状语)The reason that he put forth is very important. 他提出的理由很重要。(put forth为及物动词，that在定语从句中用作其宾语)1.误认为关系代词whose只用于修饰人whose用作疑问代词时，主要用于指人；但用作关系代词时，它既可指人也可指物。如：It was an island, whose name I have forgotten. 它是一座岛，名字我忘了。The factory, whose workers are all women, is closed during the holidays. 这家工厂工人都是妇女，在假期中工厂关门了。2.混淆定语从句与并列句请看下面两题：(1) He has two children, and both of _ are abroad.A. themB. whichC. whomD. who(2) He has two children, both of _ are abroad.A. themB. whichC. whomD. who第(1)题选A，第(2)题选C。由于第(1)题中用了并列连词and，从而使整个句子为并列句，and后应是一个独立的简单句，所以选A不选C；第(2)题没有并列连词and，both of whom are abroad为非限制性定语从句。另外，请比较下题(答案为A)：He has two children, both of _ being abroad.A. themB. whichC. whomD. who3.误认为逗号后一定是非限制性定语从句有的同学一看见逗号，就以为一定要选which而不选that，但问题是有时根本就不是定语从句。如：(1) If a book is in English, _ means slow progress for you.A. asB. whichC. whatD. that(2) When I say two hours, _ includes time for eating. A. asB. whichC. whatD. that以上两题均应选that，而不能选which，因为它们根本不是定语从句。之所以选that，是因为句中已有if和when引导的状语从句，逗号后为主句，that为主句主语。 定语从句是一种形容词的关系从句。它由关系代词或关系副词引导（1）。初中英语中的定语从句仅限于限制性定于从句，但对初中生来说，定语从句既是一个重点，也是一个难点。如何对定语从句突出重点、突破难点，是我们每个初中英语教师思考的问题，也是要帮助学生要解决的问题之一。下面我对初中英语的定语从句谈谈我的粗浅看法。 【关键词】定语从句 先行词 关系代词 关系副词一、英语中的定语从句与汉语中的定语位置不同。在复合句中，修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫做定语从句。英语中的定语从句始终要放在被修饰的词之后，而汉语中的定语则放在被修饰词之前。如：The man who / that I saw at the school gate yesterday is my English teacher.先行词 定语从句昨天我在校门口看见的那个人是我的英语老师。二、英语从句中的句型结构比较复杂，有先行词、关系代词或关系副词。被定语从句修饰的词叫先行词，引导定语从句的关联词有关系代词或关系副词。限制性关系分句和它的先行项的所指意义有着不可分割的联系（2）。关系代词或关系副词放在先行词和定语从句之间起纽带作用，关系代词或关系副词在定语从句中要充当一个成分。关系代词在句中可作主语、宾语或定语，关系副词在句中作状语。如：I am waiting for the boy who /that is wearing a red coat. （主语） 先行词 关系代词我正在等穿着红色外套的那个男孩。The dictionary that / which my sister gave me last Sunday is very expensive.(宾语)先行词 关系代词我姐姐上周星期天给我的那本字典很贵。The woman is his mother whose name is Linda Brown. (定语) 先行词 关系代词那个是他的母亲，名叫琳达布朗。That is the house where my father used to live.(状语)先行词 关系副词那是我父亲曾经居住过的房子。三、初中英语中的定语从句关系代词或关系副词的具体用法。1. who指人（也可用that），在定语从句中作主语，也可作宾语。如：Yesterday I helped an old man who / that lost his way. （主语）昨天我帮助了一位迷路的老人。Mr Wang is the man (who / that / whom )you met in the zoo this morning.(宾语)王先生就是今天早上你在动物里遇到的那个人。注意：关系代词who指人,作宾语时，可用whom代替；作宾语时，关系代词可省略。作其它成分，关系代词则不能省略。2. whose指人，也可指物。在定语从句中作定语。The boy whose mother is ill is staying at home to look after her today.其母亲生病的那个男孩今天呆在家里照顾她。I have a story book whose cover is red.我有一本封面是红色的故事书。3. which指物（也可用that），在定语从句中作主语，也可作宾语。如：Football is a game which / that is liked by most boys. （主语）足球是被大多数男孩喜欢的运动。I dont believe the news which / that Tom won the game. (宾语)我不相信汤姆赢得这场比赛的消息。四、关系代词whom, which在定语从句中作介词宾语时，可以和介词一起放在先行词与定语从句之间。如：That is the place in which I lived for five years.=That is the place which / that I lived in for five years.那就是我住过五年的地方。Mr Zhang is the man for whom I am looking.=Mr Zhang is the man who / whom / that I am looking for.张先生就是我正在找的那个人。五、具体使用关系代词或关系副词需要注意的问题。1. 先行词是地点时，如果该先行词做了定语从句的主语或宾语时，关系代词用that或which. 如：The school that / which I used to study in is becoming better and better.(the school 作了介词in的宾语。)我过去曾经学习的那所学校变得越来越好了。先行词是地点时，如果该先行词不作定语从句的主语或宾语时，关系代词用where. 如：The place where the accident happened isnt far from our school.事故发生的那个地方离我们学校不远。(定语从句中的动词happened是不及物动词，它不跟宾语，而the accident又作了定语从句的主语，因此该定语从句既不需要主语，也不需要宾语。)2.只用that，不用which的情况。（1）前有序数词修饰时。如：This is the tenth gift that I received for my birthday.这是我收到的第十个生日礼物。（2）前有形容词最高级修饰时。如：That is the most exciting game that I have ever watched.那是我曾经看过最令人兴奋的比赛。（3）先行词是all, little, few, something, anything, everything等不定代词时。如：All that he told me is true. 他告诉我的一切是真实的。（4）先行词被the only修饰时。如：The only thing that I can get is a pen. 我唯一能得到的东西就是一支钢笔。（5）先行词既指人，又指物时。如：We talked about the people and the things that we were interested in.我们谈论了我们感兴趣的人和事。 3.
