(完整版)地点状语从句用法及例题解析

地点状语从句
地点状语从句表示地点、方位，这类从句通常由where引导。

用法
例如：
Where there is a will, there is a way.
有志者，事竟成。

They will go where they are happy.
他们想到他们觉得快乐的地方去。

连词含义说明
where在……地方通常表示一个确定的wherever无论什么地方表示“任何地方”anywhere无论何处
everywhere到处
(1)地点状语从句由where，wherever，引导，
如：
We must camp where we can get water.
我们必须在能找到水的地方露营。

(2)地点状语从句与定语从句的区别:
在于分句在句中作什么成分。

作状语，则是状语从句；作定语修饰名词，则是定语从句where引导定语从句时，从句前应有一个表示地点的名词作先行词；而状语从句前则无需先行词。

如：
Go back where you came from.(where引导地点状语从句）
你从何处来到何处去。

Go back to the village where you came from.(where引导定语从句，修饰village)
回到你来的那个村子里去。

(1)We went home, where we had dinner.此句是where引导的"非限制性"定语从句,这里"where"= at home(先行词是home)从句还原" we had dinner at home"全句译：我们回到家，在家里吃了顿饭.
(2)I walk into the canteen where students are eating此句也是where 引导的定语从句，与上句不同之处在于此句是一个"限制性"定语从句.全句译：我走进了这个同学们都在吃饭的食堂。

（限定说明了是一个什么样的食堂)
(3)地点状语从句与定语从句其本身属性就不同：地点状语从句相当于大的副词;定语从句相当于大的形容词,副词是用来修饰动词的,
例：you can go where you want to go . 你可以去你想去的地方。

(3)地点状语从句的省略，
如:
Fill in the blanks with articles necessary.(necessary前省略了where it is)
在需要的地方填上冠词。

（4）地点从句一般位于主句之后，但为了强调，也可以放在句首。

With a car a preson can go where he pleases and when he pleases.
有了汽车，人可以想去哪儿就去哪儿，想什么时候去就什么时候去。

And where there is shale there is likely to be oli.
哪儿有页岩，哪儿就可能有石油。
