英语定语从句中that和which的区别有哪些？

【导语】很多同学可能都会觉得在使⽤定语从句的时候，有时不知该选择that还是which作为引导词。

那么，今天和⼀起来了解下定语从句中that和which的区别，以下内容由整理发布，欢迎阅读参考！更多相关讯息请关注！
⾸先，that和which在从句⾥都可以做宾语和主语，做宾语时可以省略。

在定语从句中,有种说法叫"关宾省",意思是关系代词在限制性定语从句中作宾语可以省略,不管是that，which，还是whom。

但是which能引导⾮限制性定语从句，that则不⾏。

其次，记得以下只能⽤that的⼏种情况：
1. 当先⾏词为all, much, little, none及由any, every, some, no所构成的复合不定代词时。

如：We should do all that is useful to the people. 我们应该做⼀切有益于⼈民的事情。

Please tell me anything that you know about the matter. 有关此事，凡是你所知道的请告诉我。

2. 当先⾏词被any, few, little, no, all, much, some等词修饰时。

如：You can take any seat that is free. 任何空着的座位你都可以坐。

There is little work that is fit for you. ⼏乎没有适合你的⼯作。

3. 当先⾏词为序数词或被序数词所修饰时。

如：When people talk about the cities of China, the first that comes to my mind is Beijing. ⼈们谈论起中国的城市的时候，我⾸先想到的是北京。

This is the fourth film that has been shown in our school this term. 这是我们校本学期放映的第四部电影。

4. 当先⾏词为形容词级或被形容词级修饰时。

如：The best that I could do was to apologize. 我能做的就是赔礼道歉了。

This is the most interesting story book that I have ever read. 这是我读过的⼀本最有趣的故事书。

5. 当先⾏词被the very, the only, the last, the just, the same等修饰时。

如： This is the very book that I'm looking for. 这正是我在找的书。

The only thing that we could do was to wait. 我们能做的事就是等待。

注意：先⾏词被the same修饰时，关系代词也可⽤as。

如：I need the same book that / as you have. 我需要有你⼀样的书。

6. 当先⾏词既包含⼈⼜包含物时。

如： They are talking of the heroines and their deeds that interest them. 他们正在谈论他们感兴趣的⼥英雄及她们的事迹。

7. 当先⾏词是疑问代词who，which，what或主句以这些词开头时。

如：Who that has ever worked together with him doesn't admire him? 曾经和他⼀起⼯作过的谁不钦佩他？
Which is the star that is nearer to the earth？哪个是离地球⽐较近的星星？
8. 当先⾏词为主句表语或关系代词为从句表语时。

如：That's a good book that will help you a lot. 那是本对你很有帮助的书。

Our school is no longer the place that it used to be. 我们的学校现在已不是过去的那个样⼦了。

9. 先⾏词为time时，当time表⽰次数，引导词⽤that, 可省略。

当表⽰时间，可⽤that或when引导，都可省略。

如：I do remember the first time(that) I had ever heard the sweetest voice in the world.我很清楚地记得当我第⼀次听到世界上最美的声⾳的时候。

I did't remember the exact time （when/that） I arrived in Shanghai last month. 我不记得上个⽉到达上海的确切时间了。

最后，请注意以下⼏种只能使⽤which的情况:
1. 在“介词＋关系代词”结构中，关系代词必须⽤which。

如： The house in which we live is very large. 我们住的房⼦⾮常⼤。

This is the reference book of which the teacher is speaking. 这就是⽼师正在谈及的那本参考书。

注意：如果介词不放在修饰事物的限定性定语从句的句⾸， which就可换为that，例如： This is the question which/that
we've had so much discussion about. =This is the question about which we've had so much discussion. 这就是我们已经多次讨论过的问题。

2. 先⾏词为“those＋表事物的复数名词”时，关系代词通常只⽤which⽽不⽤that。

如：you should grasp well those skills which may be used in the future work.
最后，记得这个特殊情况吧：当先⾏词是表⽰原因或⽅式的名词时，可以⽤that引导定语从句，相当于介词+which，that可以省略。

如： She likes the child for the very reason that (=for which) she loves his father. 她喜欢那个孩⼦因为她爱着孩⼦的⽗亲。

He didn't like the way that (=in which) she speaks to his mother. 他不喜欢她对他的母亲那样说话。

Imagine the speed that (=at which) he drives the car. 很难想象，他开车开得那么快。

The reason (that /for which /why) he came here was to ask for our help.他来这⾥的原因是寻求我们的帮助。
