用一個句子作定語,這個句子就叫定語從句。定語從句通常緊靠在它所修飾的名詞或代詞后面。定語從句相當于一個形容詞,用來修飾名詞、代詞或句子。
1.定語從句與時間語狀語從句的區(qū)別
當定語從句的引導詞與時間狀語從句的連接詞都是when時,定語從句修飾、限制、說明表示時間的名詞,只放在先行詞的后面;而時間狀語從句說明動作發(fā)生的時間,既可以放在主句的前面,也可以放在主句的后面。如:
Do you know the time when the class is over ?你知道下課的時間嗎?(定語從句)
It was already five o'clock when the class was over .當課結(jié)束時,已經(jīng)是五點鐘了。
=When the class was over ,it was already five o'clock.當課結(jié)束時,已經(jīng)是五點鐘了。(時間狀語從句)
2.定語從句與地點狀語從句的區(qū)別
當定語從句的引導詞與地點狀語從句的連接詞都是where時,定語從句修飾、限制、說明表示地點的名詞;而狀語從句說明動作發(fā)生的地點,where前沒有對應(yīng)的地點名詞或代詞。如:
This is the place where we used to live a few years ago .這就是幾年前我們常居住的地方。(定語從句)
Let's go where we can find a better job .我們到能找到更好工作的地方去吧。(地點狀語從句)
3.定語從句與強調(diào)句型的區(qū)別
定語從句對名詞或代詞起修飾和限制的作用,關(guān)系詞可能是that,which,who,whom,whose等;另一方面,句子中的It有所指;而強調(diào)句型是對某部分加強語氣,而強調(diào)語氣的連接詞只能是that,who,并且句子中的It 沒有任何意義;一般比較明顯,有時就難以區(qū)別,還需要根據(jù)上下文的語境來判斷。如:
It is a book that he wants.
它究竟是強調(diào)句型還是定語從句,需要從語境上來考察。如果它是用來回答What is this/that?這樣的問題,意思是:它是一本他想要的書。句子顯然是定語從句。如果是用來回答What does he want?這樣的問題,那么意思就是:他想要的是一本書。顯然,句子是強調(diào)句型。
4.定語從句與結(jié)果狀語從句的區(qū)別
定語從句中的關(guān)系詞在從句中還要作某種成分,因而從句成分不完整;而結(jié)果狀語從句中的連接詞不作句子任何成分,因此句子成分是完整的。如:
It is such an interesting book as we all like .它是一本有趣的書,我們都喜歡。(定語從句)
It is such an interesting book that we all like it .它是一本如此有趣的書,大家都喜歡它。(結(jié)果狀語從句)
比較:It is such an interesting book that we all like.強調(diào)句型。意思是:我們都喜歡的是一本如此有趣的書。
5.限制性定語從句與同位語從句的區(qū)別
關(guān)系副詞引導限制性定語從句中的關(guān)系詞,有跟他們含義相應(yīng)的先行詞;而引導同位語從句時則沒有與他們含義相應(yīng)的先行詞。如:
Sorry,I've forgot the day when we met for the first time .抱歉,我記不起我們第一次見面的日子了。(定語從句,先行詞the day與when含義相應(yīng))
I've no idea when we met for the first time.我不知道我們第一次是什么時候見面的。(同位語從句,idea與when沒有任何聯(lián)系)
6.定語從句與獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)的區(qū)別
定語從句一般有關(guān)系詞、主謂結(jié)構(gòu)完整;而獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)沒有關(guān)系詞,也沒有謂語動詞。如:
The book being very interesting,we all like it. 由于這本書有趣,我們大家都喜歡它。
The book which/that is very interesting was published last year.這本有趣的書是去年出版的。
