大学英语四级定语从句

定语从句■有关定语从句的概念(1)定语从句：就是在复合句里充当定语的从句，它通常紧靠在所修饰的名词或代词后面。

(2)先行词：就是被定语从句修饰的名词或代词。

(3)关系词：引导定语从句的词叫关系词。

关系词有关系代词who, whom, whose,which和that等；关系副词有when, where, why等。

关系词不仅起连接作用，而且还代表先行词并在定语从句中担任某一句子成分，关系代词作主语、宾语、定语、表语等，关系副词作状语。

如：This is the book that my father bought yesterday. 这就是我父亲昨天帮我买的那本书。

说明：句中修饰the book的that my father bought yesterday就是定语从句；被定语从句所修饰的the book这是先行词；代表the book的关系代词that在定语从句中作bought的直接宾语。

The time when he arrives is not known. 他到达的时间还不知道。

说明：句中when he arrives是定语从句，被定语从句修饰的the time是先行词，关系副词when作时间状语。

■关系代词的一般用法先行词是人，在从句中作主语用who，作宾语用whom或who，作定语用whose；先行词是物，在定语从句中作主语或宾语都用which，作定语用of which或whose均可。

在限制性定语从句中which, who, whom都可用that代替。

关系代词作宾语时常被省略。

This is the man who helped me yesterday. 这就是昨天帮助我的那个人。

(作主语) The teacher (who/whom/that) you want to see is coming. 你要见的老师来了。

(作see 的宾语，可以省略)I met a boy whose father was an astronaut. 我认识一位男孩，他的父亲是宇航员。

大学英语四级考试语法：—定语从句

大学英语四级考试语法：—定语从句很多同学在大学英语四级考试中会存在一些误区，认为语法不那么重要，其实英语语法是学习英语的指南，对我们帮助很大。

以下是小编给大家整理的大学英语四级考试语法：—定语从句，希望可以帮到大家1、mary is a beautiful girl.名词的扩展靠限定，最基本的就是在名词的前面增加一个形容词这样的定语，上面的句子就是表语girl的前面加了一个形容词。

显然，如果只是mary is a girl这样的句子会让人觉得非常枯燥，没有什么意义，所传递的信息量极其有限。

所以，名词前面加定语，可以使被限定的名词更加生动，更加形象而富有生命。

如果要对名词给出更多限定，挖掘更多内部信息，我们可以在名词前面加多个定语来限定，如mary is a beautiful chinese girl.放在名词前面起到限定作用的定语有很多种形式，形容词，名词，动词现在分词，动词过去分词等。

虽然形式多样，但是这类定语还是比较好理解，只要顺着句子的顺序，就基本可以明白是怎么回事。

2、the computer that i bought yesterday works well.有时候，我们需要对名词给出很多的说明，用大量的信息来限定名词。

这时，如果还是把长长的限定成分放在名词前面，就会头重脚轻，所以英语中会用跟在名词后面的定语从句来限定前面的名词。

根据定语的功能还可以分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。

两者的区别在于前者与被限定名词之间没有逗号，而后者则有逗号隔开;前者起到限定作用，不可或缺，后者起到补充作用，舍去后对剩余部分影响不大。

本句子通过“that i bought yesterday”这个that引导的定语从句，使得主语the computer得到限定而明确，是我昨天买的计算机而不是别的。

如果明白了这个名词可以通过后面加定语从句来扩展，我们的句子马上可以变得复杂起来，请看下例：another popular spectator sport, which is known as the sport of kings, is horse-racing, which is controlled by the jockey club.译文：另一种以特大型运动著称的流行观赏运动是赛马，这种比赛由赛马总会控制。

英语专四语法之定语从句

英语专四语法之定语从句
定语从句是英语语法中的一个重要部分，它用于描述或限定句子中的某个名词或代词。

定语从句通常由关系代词(如who, whom, whose, which, that)引导，这些代词在从句中分别作主语、宾语、所有格、指示词等。

定语从句的位置可以在名词前面或后面，它通常用于修饰一些特定的人、事、物或概念。

例如，我们可以说“the book that I borrowed from the library is very interesting”，这句话中“that I borrowed from the library”就是一个定语从句，用于修饰名词“book”。

在使用定语从句时，我们需要注意以下几点：
1. 关系代词的选择：不同的关系代词用于不同的情况，需要根
据先行词的性质和定语从句的意义来选择。

2. 从句的位置：定语从句可以放在名词前或名词后，但从句的
位置会影响句子的语调和语气。

3. 从句的语态：定语从句的语态需要与主句的语态保持一致，
如主句是被动语态，从句也需要使用被动语态。

定语从句是英语学习中的重点和难点之一，需要我们进行反复练习和巩固。

只有通过不断的实践和总结，我们才能掌握定语从句的用法和技巧，从而提高我们的英语语言能力。

四级定语从句、状语从句、名词性从句知识点整理

一、定语从句1．什么是定语从句？定语从句就是用一句话做定语，放在被修饰名词的后面。

the girl 为先行词who 为关系词2．构成定语从句的两大要素（先行词，关系词）①先行词（定语从句所修饰名词）先行词可以是一个词，短语，一个分句，一个完整的句子He who laughs last laughs best.He likes climing mountains, which is a good exercise.He said that he had no time, which isn’t true.He arrived an hour later, which annoyed his girlfriend.②关系词（也可以称为引导词，引导从句）两大作用：连词作用和代词作用∴关系词分为：关系代词: who, that, which, whom, whose, （which, that 指物，who 作主语时指代人，whom 作宾部时指代人whose 指代所有格，…的）关系副词: when , where, whyPS: when = on/at whichwhere = in/on/at whichwhy = for whichI like people who are honest. 这里面who 指代的people, 作关系代词I like the library where I can read.where= in which, 引导的定语从句修饰library, 把library 带回定语从句中，Ican read in the library. 做状语，因此where 是关系副词。

大学英语四级考试语法：—定语从句

显然，如果只是mary is a girl这样的句子会让人觉得非常枯燥，没有什么意义，所传递的信息量极其有限。

所以，名词前面加定语，可以使被限定的名词更加生动，更加形象而富有生命。

虽然形式多样，但是这类定语还是比较好理解，只要顺着句子的顺序，就基本可以明白是怎么回事。

2、the computer that i bought yesterday works well.有时候，我们需要对名词给出很多的说明，用大量的信息来限定名词。

这时，如果还是把长长的限定成分放在名词前面，就会头重脚轻，所以英语中会用跟在名词后面的定语从句来限定前面的名词。

根据定语的功能还可以分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。

本句子通过“that i bought yesterday”这个that引导的定语从句，使得主语the computer得到限定而明确，是我昨天买的计算机而不是别的。
