定语从句中的十种常见错误

1、定语从句中的十种常见错误一、省去作主语的关系代词致错误：The changes have happened in the past few years make the city look even more beautiful.正: The changes that have happened in the past few years make the city look even more beautiful.误：Those want to visit the art exhibition sign your names， please.正: Those who want to visi

2、t the art exhibition sign your names， please.分析：关系代词在定语从句中作宾语时可以省，但作主语时不能省。二、从句中使用多余的代词或副词致错t been marked yet.t been marked yet.误：The compositions we handed them in two weeks ago haven正： The compositi ons we han ded in two weeks ago have n分析：从句中省去了作宾语的关系代词that 或 which，应去掉 them。误：After living in Pari

3、s for 60 years，he returned to the small town where he grew upas a child there.正: After living in Paris for 60 years，he returned to the small town where he grew upas a child.分析：关系副词 where在从句中作地点状语，使用there属语义重复，应去掉。as / it / which混用致错误： As is known to all that smoking does great harm to health.正: It i

4、s known to all that smoking does great harm to health.或 As is known to allsmok ing does great harm to health.分析：as引导非限制性定语从句，置于句首时，要用逗号与主句隔开；it放在句首，作形式主语时，将从句后置，中间不用逗号。误： Tom drinks a lot every day， as his wife doesn t like at all.正: Tom drinks a lot every day， which his wife doesn t like at all.分析：

5、as引导的非限制性定语从句既可放在主句后，也可放在主句前和主句中，而which引导的非限制性定语从句只能放在主句后。当主句与从句语义一致时，通常用as，反之则用 which。四、从句中误用人称代词或物主代词致错误： China has hundreds of islands， the largest of them is Taiwan.正: China has hundredsof islands ， the largest of which is Taiwan.或 China hashundreds of islands， and the largest of them is Taiwan.

6、分析：人称代词只能用在独立的单句或分句中，不能用在定语从句中。误： The boss in her department Ms King worked looked down upon women.正: The boss in whose department Ms King worked looked down upon women.分析：物主代词不能在定语从句中作定语，定语从句中用 whose作定语，修饰department 。五、关系代词与关系副词混用致错误：I live in Hong Kong， where is the Special Administrative Zone.正:

7、I live in Hong Kong， which is the Special Administrative Zone.误：Is this museum the one when some German friends visited the other day？正: Is this museum the one that some German friends visited the other day？分析：关系代词在定语从句中作主语、宾语、表语或定语，关系副词在从句中作状语。六、用ing结构替换定语从句致错误： The girl bringing milk here every mo

8、rning is from a mountain village.正： The girl who brings milk here every morning is from a mountain village.误:The scholars returning from abroadrecently were awarded by the localgover nment.正: The scholars who had returned from abroad recently were awarded by the localgover nment.分析：当定语从句的谓语动词表示经常性或习

9、惯性的动作或定语从句谓语动词的动作先于主句谓语动词的动作时，不宜用v.？鄄ing替换定语从句。七、that与which 混用致错误：The weather turned out to be very good， that was more than we expected.正: The weather turned out to be very good， which was more than we expected.误：The storiesaboutthe Second World War were written ， of thatthisis oneexample.正:The sto

10、riesaboutthe Second World War were written， of whichthisis oneexample.分析：that和which使用情况有别，不可混淆。在非限制性定语从句中及介词后要使用which。下列情 况须用 that : 1.先 行词为 someth in g/a nythin g/everyth ingA；thing/all/much/little等;2.先行词被形 容词最 高级、序数词修饰;3.先 行词 被all/the/very/the only 等修饰;4.先行词既有人，又有物时。八、谓语动词的人称和数与先行词不一致致错 误：I， who i

11、s your close friend ，will certainly help you when in trouble.分析：定语从句谓语动词的人称和数应与先行词保持一致。误：This is the only one of the tape ?鄄 recorders in the sound lab that don t needrepairi ng.正: This is the only one of the tape ?鄄 recorders in the sound lab that doesnt needrepairi ng.分析：one前有the only 修饰，因此one为先行词

12、，从句谓语动词用单数does t need。九、限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句区分不清致错误： Abraham Lincoln who led the American people through these years was shot ata theatre in Washington，D. C.正: Abraham Lincoln ， who led the American people through these years，was shotat a theatre in Washington，D. C.分析：限制性定语从句对先行词起修饰、限定的作用，非限制性定语从句对先行词进行补充说明。当先行词为专有名词或表示“唯一”事物时，要用非限制性定语从句。十、固定搭配不当致错误：The house was sold at such a low price that people hadn t expect
