最新定语从句讲解

一、定语从句概述

定语可以由形容词、名词、代词、数词、分词、副词、不定式以及介词短语等来担任，也可以由一个句子来担任。在句子中起定语作用的从句称为定语从句。定语从句在句中的作用相当于形容词，故又称为形容词性从句。被定语从句修饰的名词叫先行词，引导定语从句的词叫关系词。

二关系词的用法。

关系词可分为关系代词和关系副词。关系词指代先行词，放在先行词与定语从句之间起连接作用，同时又充当定语从句中的某一种成分（主语、宾语、状语等）。

引导定语从句的关系代词有"at，who，whom，whose，which;关系副词有when，where，why等。关系词在句子中的指代作用及成分如下表
