定語從句(用不用that)
(1)只能用關系代詞that的幾種情況:
1. 先行詞為something, nothing, everything, anything等不定代詞時;或者先行詞為all, each, few, much, no, some, any等不定代詞(或被這些限定代詞修飾)時。如:There is little that I can do. / All the books that you need are here.
2. 先行詞是序數詞或形容詞最高級(或被序數詞或形容詞最高級修飾)時。如:This is the best book that I have read about American culture.
3. 先行詞為the way, the time, the place等時,關系代詞常用that代替when, where, in which,又可省略(非正式場合)。如:I don’t like the way (that) he spoke to his mother. / This is the first time (that) I have given you a lesson in French.
4. 先行詞既有人也有物時。如:He talked about the teachers and schools that he had visited.
5. 先行詞被the only, the very, the just等詞修飾時。如:This is the only school that he has visited.
6. 關系代詞在從句中作表語時。如:He is not the young man (that) he used to be.
7. 主句是Who/Which特殊疑問句時,為了避免重復與混淆,定語從句引導詞用that。
1. 在非限制性定語從句中。如:Henry Royce did not like his car, that often broke down.
2. 在關系詞前有介詞時。如:We depend on the land from which we get our food.
3. 先行詞是those, he, they, one, anyone, someone, everyone等詞時,關系詞常用who,而不用that。如:One who does not work hard will never succeed.
4. 關系詞離先行詞較遠時。如:Do you know the woman in blue with a baby on her back who is working in the fields?
5. 主句是there be句型時(指人)。如:There is a big man outside who wants to see you.
6. 先行詞部分包含有that時,為了避免重復與混淆,關系詞常用who/which,而不用that。
