英語定語從句例句

英語三大從句：賓語從句（在句子中起賓語作用的從句）、定語從句（在複合句中修飾名詞、代詞的從句），以及狀語從句（在複合句中由從句表示的狀語）。

       賓語從句

       一、定義

       在句子中起賓語作用的從句叫做賓語從句。

       二、連線詞

       That: I think that you can pass the exam.

       Whether/if:I wonder if / whether I can get some advice from you.

       Ask him whether / if he can come.

       What: I don’t know what the word means.

       Where: I don’t know where he found the book.

　　只用whether的情況：

　　1. 與or not連用：

　　I don’t know whether it’s raining or not.

　　2. 與動詞不定式連用：

　　He doesn’t know whether to accept the invitation.

　　3. 連線詞前有介詞時：

　　It depends on whether he is coming.

　　三、時態

　　1. 主句是一般現在時態，從句根據實際情況而定(各種時態均可)

　　She wants to know what he has done for the exam.

　　2.主句是一般過去時態，從句用相應的過去的時態。

　　1)She said that she was a student.

　　2)She said that she would fly to Japan in a week.

　　3)She said that she had finished her homework already.

　　3. 如果賓語從句說的是客觀真理、自然現象或事實時，這時賓語從句要用一般現在時態。

       定語從句

　　一、定義

　　在複合句中修飾名詞、代詞的從句叫定語從句。

　　先行詞指物 which/ that

　　定語從句一般緊跟被修飾的名詞或代詞(即先行詞)後

　　三、關係代詞

　　關係代詞代替先行詞在句子中擔當成分，所以從句中不可再出現其他代替先行詞的代詞

　　四、翻譯方法 “…. 的”

　　Whom: 先行詞指人，則代替先行詞在定語從句中充當賓語(包括介詞的賓語), 與who的區別是如果前面帶介詞則必須用whom

　　1. This is the teacher whomwho we like best.

　　2. I don’t like the boy to whom you are talking.

　　Whose : 指人或物，作定語，表示 “…的”

　　eg: Harry is the boy whose mother is our math teacher.

　　關係代詞只能 that 的特殊情況：

　　1.先行詞前有序數詞修飾時：

　　This is the first gift that my parents bought me.

　　2.先行詞前有形容詞最高階修飾時：

　　This is the most exciting film that I have ever seen.

　　3. 先行詞是不定代詞something, anything等時.

　　e.g. Is there anything that you want in this shop

　　4. 先行詞是人和物時, 用that.

　　e.g. He talked about some writers and books that were unknown to us all.

　　5. 先行詞被all , little , the only , the very(就是，正是), the last 等詞修飾時,只能用that

　　e.g. This is the last place that I want to visit.

　　6. 特殊疑問句以who 或which 開頭，只能用that引導.

　　Who is the girl that is making a speech on the platform?

　　當關系代詞前使用介詞時：

　　物+介詞+which ; 人+ 介詞 + whom

　　當關系代詞前使用介詞時：

　　e.g. 1. This is the train by which we went to Beijing.
