语法专题一 定语从句
定语从句在句中作定语,修饰名词或代词。被修饰的名词或者代词被称为先行词,定语从句一般放在先行词的后面。引导定语从句的词被称为关系词,关系词有关系代词和关系副词,它们在先行词和定语从句之间起引导作用,在意义上代替先行词,在定语从句中充当一个成分。其基本解题方法是:第一,找出先行词;第二,看先行词在定语从句中充当的成分,作主语、宾语、表语或定语时要用关系代词,如果作状语,则要选用关系副词;第三,看先行词是否为特殊词,然后根据需要选用合适的关系词。
考点一 关系代词与关系副词的区别
关系代词有who,whom,which,that和whose,另外,as也可充当关系代词。关系代词在定语从句中充当主语、宾语、表语和定语。关系副词有when,where和why,在定语从句中充当状语。
