5．关系代词作从句的主语时，从句的动词必须和先行词的人称和数一致：
例：These are the operating instructions that/which are written in English 。

这就是用英文写成的使用说明。

So far as I know, there are many VIPs who are going to attend the reception.
就我所知有很多达官贵人将出席这个招待会。

6．非限定性定语从句不用that，只用who（whose, whom）和which代表人和物；
例：Her brothers, both of whom work in America, ring her up every week。

她的兄弟们？？两个人都在美国工作？？每个星期都给她打电话。

The buses, most of which were already full, were surrounded by an angry crowd，那些公共汽车？？大多已经坐满了人？？被一群愤怒的人围着。

The accounts of the company ,which I’ve been paying great attention to, are in balance.
公司的账目是保持平衡的。

我一直非常注意这些账目。

例：I shall never forget the day when (=on which) we first met.
我永远也不会忘记我们第一次见面的那一天。

他没给任何解雇我的理由

这就是我父母以前住过的房子。

注意事项：
（1）在非正式场合， that有时可用来代替关系副词或相当于关系副词的“介词+which”，而且经常全部省略，
如：In all the years that (=when/during which) I was at collage
在我读大学的那些年里
the reason that(=why/for which)he is not happy

He is unpopular because people don’t like the offensive way (that)(=in which) he talks.
他不受欢迎的原因是他说话的方式让人讨厌。

（2）是用关系代词还是用关系副词：
关系词（包括关系代词和关系副词）是学习英语定语从句的关键。

用关系代词还是用关系副词，一要看关系词在从句当中作什么成分；二要看关系词所代表的是人、物、时间、地点还是原因；三要看所引导的是限定性定语从句还是非限定性定语从句。

所以同样的先行词会有不同的关系词，这是因为关系词在从句当中担当的作用不同而决定的。

如：This is the room where/in which we’ll celebrate the New Year.
这是我们将要在里面庆贺新年的房间。

（充当地点状语）
This is the room(that /which)we’ll celebrate the New Year in.
这是我们将要在里面庆贺新年的房间。

（充当介词宾语，可省略。

）
This is the room which /that will be used for the celebration of the New Year.
这是那个将要被用来庆贺新年的房间。

（充当主语）
This is the room (which/that) we’ll use for the New Year dinner party.
这是我们将要用来举行新年晚宴的房间。

（充当宾语，可省略。

）
The reason (that /which) he had given was not sound enough.

（充当宾语，可省略）
The reason why/for which he had done that was not sound enough.
他做那件事的理由不够充分。

（充当原因状语）

【比较：This is the house (that/which) she has bought. 这是她买的房子。

the house that/which I’ve told you is extremely expensive.这就是我和你说过极其昂贵的那幢房子。

】
I met him in t he year when I was first in Xi’an.
我刚到西安的那年遇到了他。

That is the reason why he did not come that morning.
那就是那天上午他没来的原因。

（3）定语从句中的时态。

如果主句是一般将来时或过去将来时，从句的动作与主句的同时发生，那么该从句要用一般现在时表示一般将来时、用一般过去时表示过去将来时。

例：Anyone who/that touches the wire will get an electric shock.
任何碰这根电线的人将受到电击。

（不用will touch）
I would give her anything that she asked for.
她要什么我就给她什么。

（不用would ask）

第一个开门的人将被吓一跳。

（不用will open）
There will be a special price for anybody who orders a suit in the next two weeks.
任何人在下两周内定做套装都将享受优惠价格。

（不用will order）
但是，如果从句和主句的动作在将来不同的时间发生，则两部分都要用来将来时，
如：Those who will go abroad for training next year will start learning English tomorrow.
那些明年出国受训的人员，将从明天开始学习外语。

如：We were deeply impressed by the workers and their working conditions that we had visited.
我们参观过的工人及他们的工作条件留下了深刻印象。

We listened to him talk about the men and books that interested him。

我们听他谈论他感兴趣的人物和书籍。
