(3) The man that our headmaster talked to just now is our English teacher. (4) The man our headmaster talked to just now is our English teacher. 第4句简洁、自然,所以口语中用得最多。 3. 当关系代词泛指人时,多用that。例如: He is a man that is never afraid of failure. 他是个从不怕失败的人。(that用来泛指人)
4. 当关系代词出现在who开头的疑问句时,应用that。例如: Who is the girl that is talking to Tom in English?
用英语同汤姆交谈的那个女孩是谁?(避免重复使用who,以免造成误解或语义含混不清)
(二)关系代词which与that的区别
1. 当先行词为all, much, little以及不定代词anything, something, everything等时,关系代词多用that。例如: All that glitters is not gold. 闪闪发光物,未必尽黄金。
She told me everything that she knew. 她把她所知道的一切都告诉了我。
2. 当先行词的前面有形容词最高级、序数词或限定词the only, the very, all, every, any, no等时,关系代词一般都用that。例如:
This is the best novel that I have ever read. 这是我读过的最好的一部小说。
He is the only person that has been invited to the ball. 他是惟一应邀参加舞会的人。 3. 当关系代词出现在which开头的疑问句时,应用that。例如:
Which was the hotel that was recommended to the foreign guest? 哪一个是推荐给外宾的宾馆?(这里使用that很明显是为了避免重复which)
4. 在非限制性定语从句中,关系代词一般只用which。例如:
Beijing, which is the capital of the People’s Republic of China, will host the 2008 Olympic Games. 北京是中华人民共和国的首都,将主办2008年奥运会。 5. 介词后的关系代词用which,而不用that。例如:
She has collected 600 stamps, 60% of which are German stamps. 她收集了600张邮票,其中60%是德国邮票。
六、定语从句的位置
如前所述,定语从句一般总是直接置于所修饰的名词或代词之后。有时候,定语从句与先行词之间插入了其他的短语,这样它们被分隔了,这种情况下的定语从句被称作隔离定语从句。例如: There was a girl upstairs who was shouting and crying, obviously mad.
楼上有一个女孩,大喊大叫。很明显,她疯了。(定语从句who was shouting and crying修饰the girl,被upstairs所隔开)
A new master will come tomorrow who will teach you German. 明天要来一位新老师教你们德语了。(定语从句置于句末以示强调) B、宾语从句
宾语从句是英语复合句中的其中非常重要的从句之一。它是用一个句子做另一个句子的宾语,将这个句子叫做宾语从句。宾语从句做介词或及物动词的宾语。现在从下列三个方面总结归纳如下: 一,引导词
A,由that 引导的陈述句性的宾语从句,在很多动词如say, think, wish , hope, see, believe, agree, expect, hear , feel等动词后。连词that只起连接作用,在从句中不做句子的成分,也无词汇意义,在口语中常被省略,但在大多数情况下还是以不省为好,特别是在笔语中。 例:I told him that he was wrong.
l在think,believe, suppose, expect等动词引起的宾语从句中,有时谓语尽管是否定意义,却不用否定形式,而将think 等动词变为否定形式。
例:I don’t think you are right. (我认为你做的不对)
l在许多带有复合宾语的句子中,that引导的宾语从句经常移到句子的后面,而用it做形式宾语。 例:We think it wrong that he told a lie to everyone (我认为他向每一个人撒谎是错误的)
B,由连词if、 whether 引导的表示“是否…”的宾语从句。Whether,if 在从句中不做句子的成分,一般情况下,whether和if 可以替换。
例:I don’t know if/whether he will come tomorrow. The teacher asked if/whether we had finished the experiment. l在介词后面的宾语从句中不用if引导
例:Everything depends on whether we have enough money。 l宾语从句中有or not时不用if引导.
例:I don’t know whether the movie star will come or not. l和不定式连用作宾语时不用if引导.
例:Whether to go there or not hasn’t been decided.
C,由wh-引导的宾语从句。连接代词who,whom,whose, what, which,和连接副词when, where, why, how 等连接的宾语从句,它们在句中即有连接从句的作用,又在句中充当句子的成分。 例:Do you know which film they are talking about? (which做定语) I don’t know where he lives. (where 做地点状语) 二,宾语从句的语序,
宾语从句从句的语序必须是陈述语序,既连接词+主语+谓语+其他成分 例:I believe that they will come soon.
He asked me whether I was a teacher. They wanted to know what they can do for us. 二,宾语从句的时态。 宾语从句的时态受主句的限制,
既:主句是一般现在时态,从句根据实际情况而定。
主句是一般过去时态,从句用相应的过去的时态。如果从句的动作发生在主句之前,则从句要用过去完成时态。 例:
1)She says that she is a student. She said that she was a student.
2)She says that she will fly to Japan in a week. She said that she would fly to Japan in a week. 3)She says that she has finished her homework already. She said that she had finished her homework already. 4)She says that she can sing a song in English. She said that she could sing a song in English.
l如果宾语从句说的是客观真理、自然现象或事实时,这时宾语从句要用一般现在时态。 例:The teacher said that the earth goes round the sun. He told me that Japan is an island country.
lCould you tell me…是用来征询对方的意见,语气委婉,并不表示过去。 例:Could you tell me when we will visit the Histury Museum? 注意事项:
u由陈述句变成宾语从句时,要注意人称的变化。 例:She said: “I have been to England before.” She said that she had been to England before. She asked me: “Do you like maths?” She asked me if I liked maths. u宾语从句与简单句的交换。
由连接代词和连接副词引导的宾语从句,如果宾语从句的主语和主句的主语是同一个人时,可以用“疑问词+不定式 ”做宾语的简单句结构。
例:I don’t know what I should do next. I con’t know what to do next. He didn’t know where he would live. He didn’t know where to live.

一般来说,在主从复合句中,用作同位语的从句叫同位语从句。它通常跟在某些名词之后,用以说明或解释该名词
表示的具体内容。可以跟同位语从句的名词通常有:advice, decision, fact, hope, idea, information, message, news, promise, proposal, reply, report, suggestion, word(消息),problem, question, doubt, thought等。例如:
They were delighted at the news that their team had won. 当听到他们队获胜的消息时,他们欣喜若狂。
