新概念2 28课笔记
Lesson 28语法点：1.关于定语从句一、概念：像形容词一样，起修饰的作用，对名词或代词做进一步的修饰。
有关系词（关系代词和关系副词）来引导，放在被修饰的名词或代词（先行词）的后面，这就是定语从句。
二、引导定语从句的关系代词：who . whom . which . that . whose 等（1）who指人，在定语从句中做主语，有时可用that替换（尽量不用）eg:The girl who is drinking milk is Linda.正在喝奶的女孩是琳达。
The boy who often hits me isn’t my brother .经常打我的男孩不是我哥哥。
(2)whom在定语从句中做宾语，有时可用that 替换（尽量不用）eg:He is the boy whom you saw in the garden yesterday .他就是你昨天在公园里看到的男孩。
They aren’t the teachers whom you often meet .他们不是你经常看到的老师。
（3）that指物在定语从句中既可以做主语也可以做宾语，有时可与which替换。
eg: The doy that is sleeping is mine .正在睡觉的狗是我的。
This isn’t the book that I have just bought.这不是我刚刚买的书。
（4）which指物，在定语从句中既可以做主语，也可以做宾语，有时可与that替换。
eg: The apple which is in the bag is big .书包里的苹果是大的。
This is the new pen which he gave me .这就是他给我的新钢笔。
（5）whose既可以指人又可指物。
含义“…的”。
在定语从句中做定语，不可省略掉，whose 后面必须有名词。
指人时：whose = of whom指物时：whose = of which※eg: 他就是名字叫Jackson的老师。

他刚在城里买下一所新房子，但自从搬进去后，就和汽车及车主们发生了磨擦。
当他夜里回到家时，总是发现有人把车停在他家大门外。
为此，他甚至一次也没能把自己的车开进车库。
贾斯珀曾把几块“禁止停车”的牌子挂在大门外边，但没有任何效果。
现在他把一个丑陋的石雕头像放在了大门上边，这是我见过的最丑陋的头像之一。
我问他那是什么？他告诉我那是蛇发女怪美杜莎。
