关系代词的用法

关系代词

∙1、关系代词用来引导定语从句。它代表先行词，同时在从句中作一定的句子成分，例如：The girl to whom I spoke is my cousin. 跟我讲话的姑娘是我表妹。（该句中whom 既代表先行词the girl，又在从句中作介词to的宾语。）

2、关系代词有主格，宾格和属格之分，并有指人与指物之分。在限定性定语从句中，that

可指人也可指物，见表：

∙例如：

This is the pencil whose point is broken. 这就是那个折了尖的铅笔。

(whose 指物，在限定性定语从句中作定语)

He came back for the book which he had forgotten. 他回来取他丢下的书。

（which指物，在限定性定语从句中作宾语，可以省略）
