高三英语语法知识复习(复合句)
一、名词性从句
名词性从句相当于名词,可分别在句中作主语、表语、宾语和同位语。可分为主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句和同位语从句。
从属连词that:在从句中不充当任何成分,也没有任何意思,只起连接作用,有时可以省略
从属连词if, whether:在从句中不充当任何成分,有意义,不可以省略
连接代词who, whoever, whom, whomever, which, whichever, what, whatever, whose:
在从句中充当成分,有意义,不可以省略
连接副词where, when, why, how:在从句中充当成分,有意义,不可以省略
一、主语从句
1.由从属连词引导的主语从句:
①Whether the country should build a nuclear power station is something we must discuss.
那个国家是否应该建立核电站……
②That light travels in straight line is known to all .光以直线传播….
2.由连接代词引导的主语从句:
①What we need is more time. 我们所需要的是……
②Whichever book you choose doesn’t matter to me.无论你选哪本书……
3.由连接副词引导的主语从句:
①When the plane is to take off hasn’t been announced.飞机什么时候起飞……
③How much water is flowing can be measured easily.水的流量是多少……
4.关于形式主语 it ①It + be +形容词+ that-从句
It is necessary that… 有必要…… It is important that…重要的是…
It is obvious that…很明显…… It is likely that….很可能
②It + be + -ed 分词+ that-从句
It is believed that…人们相信……It is known to all that…众所周知…It has been decided that…已决定……
③It + be +名词+ that-从句
It is common knowledge that… ……是常识 It is a surprise that… 令人惊奇的是……
It is a fact that…事实是…… 可应用于此句型的名词还有fact / shame / honor / question/pity等。
④ It +不及物动词+ that-分句
It appears that…似乎……It happens that…碰巧…… It occurred to me that… 我突然想起……
二、表语从句 可以接表语从句的连系动词有 be, look, remain, seem 等。
The problem is that millions of people die of illnesses caused by smoking.
……数百万人死于由抽烟引起的疾病
The question remains whether we can win the game…..我们是否能赢得这次比赛
值得注意的是:
1. 表语从句的表现形式除了用从属连词,连接代词和连接副词引导以外,还可以由as, as if ,as though引导. It looks as if it is going to rain. 好象要下雨了。
2、另外还要注意以下常用的两种结构:The reason why…is that … (而不用 because)
It ( This, That ) is because…
The reason why he was dismissed is that he didn’t work hard. 他为什么被开除是因为他工作不努力。
三、同位语从句 同位语从句一般由 that, whether 等连词引导,常放在 advice, doubt, fact, hope, idea, information, message, news, order, possibility, problem, question, reason, truth, word, suggestion.等名词的后面,说明该名词的具体内容。
l. The news that he had landed on the moon spread all over the world. 登陆月球…….
2. I have no idea when he will be back. ……什么时候回来
3. The thought came to him that Mary had probably fallen ill……Mary也许病了
四、宾语从句 宾语从句可以作及物动词的宾语,介词的宾语,某些形容词的宾语以及非谓语动词的宾语。
1.及物动词后的宾语从句:
She will give whoever needs help a warm support……任何需要帮助的人……
I wonder why she refused my invitation……她为什么拒绝了我的邀请
2.介词后的宾语从句:
I always think of how I can improve my spoken English.我总是在思考如何提高我的口语水平。

5.关于形式宾语it
We must make it clear that anyone who breaks the law will be punished.
I find it necessary that we should ask him for his advice.我发现我们有必要征求他的意见。
五、名词性从句重难点
1. 在名词性从句中,疑问句要用陈述句的语序。例如:
①Can you make sure ____the gold ring ?(MET90)
A.where Alice had put B.where had Alice put C.where Alice has put D.where has Alice put
2. 动词 doubt 用在疑问句或否定句中,其后宾语从句常用 that 作连接词;用在肯定句中,连接词用 whether 或 if 皆可,而不用 that。
Do you doubt that he will win ? I don't doubt that your proposition is wrong .
3. 否定转移问题。
①将think, believe, suppose, expect, fancy, guess, imagine等动词后面跟宾语从句时否定转移
I don't think I know you. 我想我并不认识你。 I don' t believe he will come. 我相信他不回来。
We don't expect he will come tonight , will he ?
注意:若谓语动词为hope,宾语从句中的否定词不能转移。 I hope you weren't ill. 我想你没有生病吧。
②将seem, appear 等后的从句的否定转移
It doesn't seem that they know where to go. 看来他们不知道往哪去。
It doesn't appear that we'll have a sunny day tomorrow. 看来我们明天不会碰上好天气。
4. 主谓一致问题。
What he wanted to see was an end to all the armies of the world.
What I bought were three English books.
5. 语气问题
① 在含有 suggest , order , demand , propose , command , request , insist, desire, require, advise 等表示要求、命令、建议、决定等意义的动词后,that从句常用“should+ 动词原形”的结构
I suggest we (should) set off at once. 我建议我们应该立刻出发。
② 在It is +过去分词+that的主语从句中 decided,demanded,desired,insisted,ordered,proposed,suggested,recommended,requested, required等。
It is desired that we(should)get everything ready this evening.
③ 在表语从句或同位语从句中
The suggestion that the mayor (should) present the prizes was accepted by everyone.
④ 在It is(was)+形容词+that从句中要用虚拟语气,即(should +)动词原形,表示建议或不满、惊奇等情绪。常用于此类的形容词有 essential,important,natural,necessary,possible,strange,等。 It is necessary that a college student ____at least a foreign language.(上海1993)
A.masters B.should master C.mastered D.will master
6.What引导名词从句的特殊含义:
What was once regarded as impossible has now become a reality.
(what为“所……的事”,相当于“the thing that…;all that…;everything that…”)
After ________ seemed a very long time,I opened my eye and found myself in bed.(M ET'93)
A.what B.when C.that D.which
(what相当于“the time that”,表示“……时间”)
He is not what he was a few years ago. Who is it that has made Fred what he is now?
(what表示“……的人”,相当于“the person that…”)
What is now the North Sahara Desert was once a civilized world.
(what表示“……的地方”,相当于“the place that…”)
Our income is now double what it was ten years ago
(what表示“……的数目”,相当于“the amount /number that…”)
7.不可省略的连词:
①介词后的连词不可省略
如:Before I came downstairs I had prepared myself very carefully for what I must say.
②引导主语从句和同位语从句的连词不可省略
如:That she was chosen made us very happy.她被选上了,我们很高兴。
We heard the news that our team had won. 我们听到消息说我们队赢了。
8.比较:whether 与 if 均为“是否”的意思。但在下列情况下,whether 不能被if 取代:
①whether 引导主语从句在句首 Whether she comes or not doesn’t concern me .
②引导表语从句 His first question was whether she had arrived yet. 他问第一个问题就是她来了没有。
③引导同位语从句 Answer my question whether you are coming.
回答我你是否来的问题。
④whether 从句作介词宾语 I worry about whether I hurt her feeling .我担心是否伤了她的感情。
⑤与or not连在一起 I don’t know whether or not he is going to Japan.我不知道他是否去日本。
大部分连接词引导的主语从句都可以置于句末,用it 充当形式主语。例如:
It is not important who will go. 谁去,这不重要。
It is still unknown which team will win the match. 到底谁赢呢,形势尚不明朗。
二、状语从句
状语从句是一种副词性从句,通常由一个从属连词或一个起连词作用的词组引导。
1.时间状语从句
由下列连词引导:when, while , as, before, after, once, till, until, once, as soon as, now that, hardly…when, scarcely…when, no sooner…than,有一些表示时间的副词(短语)或名词短语也可引导时间状语从句。如:directly, instantly, immediately, by the time,the moment, the second, the minute, the instant, every time, each time, next time, the last time等
注意点如下: 1)when, while, as引导的时间状语从句
as表示“当……的时候”,往往和when/ while通用,但它着重强调主句与从句的动作或事情同时或几乎同时发生。
①She came up as I was cooking.(同时)
② When I was walking down the street, I came across an old friend of mine.在街上走时,碰到一位老朋友
when(at or during the time that )既可以表示在某一点的时候,又可表示在某一段时间内,主句与从句的动作或事情可以同时发生也可以先后发生。
①It was raining when we arrived.(指时间点)
②When we were at school, we went to the library every day.(在一段时间内)
③When we arrived there, the film had already begun.(先后发生)
While强调一段时间里,仅表示从句和主句的动作同时发生,并且有延续意义,该从句中的动词一般要用延续性动词,从句中常用过去进行时态或一般过去时态;在when表示a period of time时,两者可以互换。
①Please don’t talk so loud while/when others are working. 其他人工作时请不要大声讲话。
②He fell asleep while/when reading. 读书时他睡着了。
③ While they were watching TV, I was preparing myself for the coming examination.
Strike while the iron is hot.( 不可用as或when,这里的while意思是“趁……”)
as表示主从句动作同时发生,所以常译作"一边…一边"。
John sings as he works.
当When引出的时间状语从句为系表结构,而且其主语和主句的主语一致,其表语又是一个名词时,就可以用 as 引导的省略句来代替。
When he was a young man (= As a young man ) he was fond of hunting.
2.原因状语从句 由下列连词引导:as, because, since, now that, considering that, seeing that(鉴于---)。
下面几点值得注意:
1) because语气最强,用于回答why的提问,可与强调词only, just 以及否定词not 连用。但不可以与so连用。如You shouldn’t get angry just because some people speak ill of you.
He failed because he was careless. 他因粗心而失败了。
because引导的从句可以被强调:It was because she wanted to study abroad that she entered for TOEFL
2) since引导的从句语气次于because引导的从句,常表示稍加分析后而推断出的原因,或指人们已知的事实,比as正式一些,常置于句首。as语气最弱,其原因只是对结果的附带说明,一般放在句首。
Since/ Now that no one is against it ,let’s carry out the plan.
As all the seats were full, he stood there. 所有的座位都满了他只好站那儿。
3) for虽解释为“因为”但只是一个并列连词,它也常引导句子表原因,但不是原因状语从句,它是一个并列句。for所提供的理由是一种补充性的说明,表推测的理由。
The day was short, for it was December.
She must have cried for her eyes are red. 她一定哭过了,她眼睛红的。
3.地点状语从句 由下列连词引导:where, wherever, anywhere, everywhere。
You are free to go wherever you like. 你可以去你想要去的任何地方。
Anywhere he went, he got warm welcome. 无论他走到哪儿,都收到热烈欢迎。
Where there is a will, there is a way. 有志者事竟成。
4.结果状语从句 由下列连词引导:that,so…that,such…that,so that等。注意以下几种结构:
1).so+adj/adv+that… 2).such(a/an+adj)+n+that…
3).so+adj+a/an+n+that=such a/an+adj+n+that… 4).so many/much/few/little(少)+n+that…
5)such +(adj) +n (u /pl )+ that
He spoke so fast that I couldn’t follow him. 他说的如此的快,我跟不上他。
It was such a lovely day / so lovely a day that we all went swimming天气好,我们大家都去游泳了。
So或such置于句首时,主句常倒装。
It was such a lovely day / so lovely a day that we all went swimming .
=Such a lovely day was it that we all went swimming.
注意以上结构与定语从句so/such…as的区别。
This is such an interesting/so interesting a film that everyone wants to see it.
This is such an interesting/so interesting a film as everyone wants to see.
5.目的状语从句
由下列连词引导:so that, in order that, for fear that, in case等。(注:so that也可用来引导结果状语从句) so that, in order that引导的目的状语从句中常需用情态动词。so that引导的目的状语从句只能放在主句之后,in order that 引导的目的状语从句可以放在主句之前或之后。
We set out early so that we could see the sunrise. 我们很早出发以便能看到日出
He sent the letter by air mail so that it might reach them in time. 他空邮这份信的以便他们能按时收到。
for fear that, in case 引导的目的状语从句谓语动词要用should do 它们本身带有否定意义,相当于so that--not, in order that---not
We hid behind the bushes in case /for fear that passers-by should see us. 我们躲在丛林中以防过路人看见。
Please remind me of it again tomorrow in case I forget. 明天请再次提醒我以防我忘了。
6.条件状语从句 分为真实条件句和非真实条件句(用在虚拟语气中)。
由下列连词引导:if, unless, suppose, supposing, providing(that),provided(that),given(that),in case, on condition that, as long as, so long as, so far as等。
(1)Unless=if not You will fail unless you study hard. 除非努力否则你就要失败。
(2)suppose, supposing, providing(that),provided(that),given(that)= if
Suppose I don’t have a day off, what shall I do?

(3) on condition that, as long as, so long as = only if
As long as you don’t lose heart, you will succeed. 只要你不灰心,你就会成功。
(4) As far as I know, he cheated in the exam.
As far as I’m concerned , making money is not the only purpose of life.
7.让步状语从句
由下列连词引导:although, though, as, even if, even though ,while, whether…or, whoever, whatever, however, no matter+疑问词等。注意以下几点:
1) although, though引导让步状语从句时,主句前不能用but,但可以加yet, still。
Though it was raining hard, yet they didn’t stop working. 尽管下着大雨,他们仍然在工作。
2) as引导让步状语从句时,必须用前置结构,通常是从句中的表语、状语或动词原形放在句首,放在句首的名词前的冠词要去掉。
Though he is a child, he knows a lot.=Child as(though)he is, he knows a lot.(在child前不要用冠词)
Good as he is , he won’t be top of class.
Though I like it very much, I won’t buy it.=Much as I like it, I won’t buy it.
Try as he would, he couldn’t lift the heavy box.
3) whether ---or (not ) 引导的从句,提供两个对比的“尽管”情况, 含有条件意味。
(Whether you) believe it or not, it is true. 信不信由你, 这是真的。
Whether you come here or we go there , the topic of discussion will remain unchanged.
4) 疑问词+ever=no matter +疑问词
Whoever you are, you must show your pass. 无论你是谁,你都必须出示你的通行证。
Whenever you come, you are welcome. 无论你啥时来,都欢迎。
8.方式状语从句 由下列连词引导:as, as if, as though ,the way等。

Do it the way you were told (to). 教你怎样做就怎样做。

I did it just as you told me.= I did it just as told to
He didn’t win the match as expected. 他没有像预料的一样赢得比赛。
1) as if和as though 引导的从句中,谓语常用虚拟语气,有时也用陈述语气。
It seems as if it were going to rain.
3)连词while 和whereas 可表示对比。Whereas he is rather lazy, she is quite energetic.
注意状语从句中的省略现象
1)连接词+过去分词 Unless repaired, the washing machine is no use.
Though _______or many times, David often drives after drinking.
A. to be warned B. having been warning C warned D. being warned
2)连词+现在分词 Look out while crossing the street.
3)连词+形容词/其他 常见的有if necessary、if possible、when necessary、if any等
4)比较状语从句中的省略句。如:He arrived home half an hour earlier than (he had been)expected.
三、定语从句
一、 定语从句与引导词 定语从句是在复合句中修饰某一名词或代词的从句。被修饰的名词或代词叫做选行词,而引导定语从句的词叫引导词,有关系代词和关系副词两类。关系词一共有九个,它们在从句中所充当的句子成分见下表。
关系词

主要用于非限制性的定语从句和such…as, the same…as, as…as,结构中。
懂得什么样的先行词后用什么样的引导词是学好定语从句的关键。
1. 关系代词有:that,which,who,whom,whose,在定语从句中作主语、宾语中表语,whose
作定语。代人的有:who,whom,whose,that;代物的有:that,which,whose.
The man who helped you is Mr White.(who代人,在定语从句中作主语)
That is the person(whom/who/that) you want to see.
(whom,who,that指代人,在定语从句中作宾语,可省略)
I´m not the fool(that) you thought me to be.(that代人,在定从中作表语)
A dictionary is a useful book which(=that) tells us the meaning of words
(which或that代物,在定从中作主语)
2. 关系副词有:when(指时间),where(指地点),why(指原因),在定语从句中作状语。
例如:Would you suggest a time(when) we can have a talk?(when可省略)
The house where they live is not very large./This is the reason why he did not came to the meeting.
注意:不是表时间的先行词都用when引导定从,不是表地点的先行词都用where
引导定从。例如:We´ll visit the factory which(=that) makes radios.
(which或that在定从中作主语,where不可用主语,故不可用)
They still remember the happy days(which/that) they spent in Beidaihe.
(which或that在定从中作spent的宾语,when不可作宾语,故不可用)
注意:①先行词是表示地点的名词时(country, school, room…),而关系词代替先行词在定语从句中充当地点状语,一般用where引导定语从句。也可以用介词+which的结构。值得注意的是which前介词的选择是根据先行词与介词的搭配关系而定。
The room where(=in which)he used to live has now been turned into a museum.
The desk where(=on which)I put my bag is his.
②先行词是表示时间的名词(year, month, day, night…),而关系词代替先行词在定语从句中充当时间状语,一般用when引导定语从句。也可以用介词+which的结构。值得注意的是which前介词的选择是根据先行词与介词的搭配关系而定。应特别注意:介词的位置变化以及相应的关系词的变化。请看下面两个句子。
那就是他工作的大学。
┏ at which he works.
┣ which he works at.
That is the college ┣ where he works.
┣ that he works at.
┗ he works at.
它出生的那一天是1952年8月20日。
┏ on which he was born
┣ which he was born on
The day ┣ when he was born was Aug.20,1952.
┣ that he was born on
┗ he was born on
二、限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句
限制性定语从句和主句之间不用逗号分开,修饰主句中的某一个名词或名词词组或代词;非限制性定语从句常用逗号和主句隔开,可以修饰主句中的某一个词,也可修饰整个句子。非限制性定语从句不能用that引导,引导非限制性定语从句的关系词不能省略。非限制性定语从句例:Li Ping’s father, who works in a factory, is an engineer./He tore up my photo, which made me very angry.(which指代主句内容,因前后两句是因果关系,此时which不可换为as。)
He is good at physics, as is known to us all.=As is known to us all, he is good at physics.(as指代主句内容,在as is known/believed, as we all know/believe这类结构中as不可换为which)
三、 只用that引导和不用that引导的场合
1. 只用that引导的场合
1) 当先行词既包括人又包括物时:He talked about the men and the books that attracted him.
2) 指物的先行词被any, every, only, very, all, no等修饰时:These are the very points that interest me./That's the only watch that I like most.
3) 指物的先行词被序数词或形容词最高级修饰时:The first step that we are to take is very difficult./This is the second card that he gave me.
4) 先行词是指物的不定代词all, little, few, much,及everything, anything, nothing等时:There is still much that can be done about it./Have you got everything that you need?
1) 先行词是who时:Who that have seen him does not like him?
1. 不用that的场合如下:
1)非限制性定语从句中 Last night ,I saw a very good film, which was about the Long March .
2)介词放在关系代词之前时 This is the man from whom I learnt the news
3)句中出现了that,或先行词是that时 I have found that which I was looking for.
四、“介词+关系代词”用法
1. 介词的确定应依据定语从句中短语的习惯性搭配,例如:Who is the girl with whom you just shook hands?(shake hands with…是习惯性搭配)
2. 介词常受先行词的制约(即介词和先行词的搭配),例如:He built a telescope through which he could study the skies.(through which 即through the telescope)
3. 当关系代词作“动词+介词”固定短语的宾语时,此时因定短语中的介词不能拆开移到关系代词前。例如:This is the watch which you’re looking for./He is a kind of man whom you can safely depend on.
五、几个名词后的引导词
1. situation后常用where, in which引导定语从句
Can you imagine a situation where/in which you can use the word?
2.way后面的定语从句,引导定语从句有三种情况:
a.在比较正式的文体中用in which
I was struck by the beauty of the way in which she stood.
It was clear that the speaker now trusted Tom from the way in which these words were said.
b.一般情况下用that
Lincoln asked the people to think of slavery in the way that these men did.
Mary,there is one way that you could stop others talking about you and criticizing you.
c.in which和that省去。
That's the way I looked at it.
The assistant who served her did not like the way she was dressed.
六、关于as引导的定语从句的问题
as引导定语从句主要用于非限制性定语从句和the same…as,such…as,as…as的结构中。
1.as与which都可以引导一个非限制性定语从句,并代表前面整个句子或主句中的表语。
He married the girl,as(which)was natural.
He seemed a foreigner, as(which)in fact he was.
不同的是:as引导的定语从句可以前置,而which不行。
As was natural, he married the girl.
在the same…as, such…as, as…as结构中,same, such, as之后应是名词或形容词+名词。
We are facing the same problems as we did years ago.
Some people have no doubt that their cat understands as many words as a dog does.
We hope to get such a tool as he is using.
这三种结构也可以用which改写。但要去掉这种结构,不能直接用which代替as。
以上三句分别可以改写成:
We are facing the problems which we faced years ago.
Some people have no doubt that their cat understands the words which a dog understands.
We hope to get the tool which he is using.
the same…as与the same…that引导的定语从句在意义上的区别是:前者修饰的是与原物同样的;而后者修饰的就是先行词同样的东西。比较:
This is the same watch as I lost.这和我丢失的那一只表一样。(不是同一只)
This is the same watch that I lost.这就是我丢失的那一只表。(同一只)
定语从句与其他从句或句型的区分
一、定语从句与并列句
用一个恰当的词完成下列句子,使之完整与正确。
①Mr Li has three daughters,none of _____ is an engineer.
②Mr Li has three daughters,but none of _____ is a dancer.
③Mr Li has three daughters;_____ are doctors.
解析:定语从句与并列句的主要区别在于:并列句有像and,but,so等并列连词或两个句子用分号连接,这时就不能再用引导定语从句的关系词了。从结构上看,①小题是定语从句,故填whom;②小题有并列连词but,是并列句,故填代词 them;③小题是两个并列分句,无需连接词,缺少主语,故填none或they。
二、定语从句与状语从句
1.定语从句的前面有名词作先行词,而状语从句没有先行词。
This is the place where we used to live a few years ago. 这是几年前我们居住的地方。(定语从句,先行词为the place)
Let’s go where we can find a better job. 我们到能找到更好的工作的地方去吧。(地点状语从句)
2.定语从句修饰、限制、说明名词,只能放在先行词的后面,而状语从句说明动作发生的情况,并且可以放在主句的前面。
Do you know the time when the class is over? 你知道下课的时间吗?(定语从句)
It was already five o’clock when the class was over.
=When the class was over, it was already five o’clock. 当下课时己经是5点了。(时间状语从句)
3.When, where和why在引导定语从句时可以用“介词+which”的结构来替换,在引导状语从句时却不行。
This is the factory in which (where) his father once worked. 这就是他的父亲曾经在那里工作过的那个工厂。(定语从句)
Put back the book where it was. 把书放回原处。(状语从句)
4.定语从句中的关系词在从句中充当某种句子成分,因此去掉它则从句成分不完整;而结果状语从句中的连接词在从句中不作任何成分,去掉后从句的成分仍然完整。如:
It is such an interesting book as we all like. 它是我们大家都喜欢的如此有趣的书。(as用作动词like的宾语,它引导的是定语从句)
It is such an interesting book that we all like it. 它是一本如此有趣的书,我们大家都喜欢它。(that不充当句子成分,故它引导的是结果状语从句)
三、定语从句与同位语从句
定语从句和同位语从句在形式结构上基本相同,都跟在名词或代词之后,且又常由that引导。但它们的句法功能却不相同。我们可以从以下几个方面把它们区别开来:
1.先行词的范围不同
定语从句的先行词范围很广,可以指人、物等,没有限制;同位语从句的被修饰词通常是少数一些表示抽象意义的名词,不指人。同位语从句修饰的词常见的有:belief, doubt, fact, hope, idea, news, thought, order, suggestion, wish, answer, information, conclusion, decision,
knowledge, opinion, problem, promise, question, plan, report, truth, view等。例如:
This is the place that / which we visited yesterday . 这就是昨天我们参观过的地方。(定语从句)
The text tells us a fact that smoking does great harm to people’s health .
这篇课文又告诉我们一个事实,吸烟对健康危害很大。(同位语从句)
I had no idea when the sports meet will take place. 我不知道运动会何时举行。(同位语从句)
2.从句和先行词的关系不同
定语从句在复合句中相当于形容词,对先行词起修饰、描述或限制的作用,与先行词之间有从属关系。同位语的作用相当于名词,对前面的名词给予补充说明或进一步解释,是前面名词的具体内容,与先行词之间是同位关系。例如:
The news that she had passed the exam made her parents very happy.
她考试及格的消息使她父母很高兴。(同位语从句)
此句中的同位语从句 The news that she had passed the exam
可以改写成表语从句:The news is that he passed the exam.
The news that he told us interested all of us. 他告诉我们的消息使大家都感兴趣。(定语从句)
The news that he told us 是定语从句,此句就不能改写为:The news is that he told us.
3.引导词及其作用不同
引导定语从句的词是关系词,常见的关系词有that , which , who , whose , whom , when , where , why , as 等。关系词除了连接主从句的作用外,还在定语从句中充当一定的句子成分,如主语、宾语、状语、定语、表语等。引导同位语从句的that只起连接主从句的作用,不在从句中担任任何成分。what, whether 和 how 可以引导同位语从句,但不能引导定语从句。例如:
The fact that(which) we talked about is very important.
我们所谈论的那个事实很重要。(定语从句,that在从句中作about的宾语)
The fact that he succeeded in the experiment pleased everybody.
他实验成功这个事实使我们大家很高兴。(同位语从句,that只起连接作用)
三、定语从句与强调句
用一个恰当的词完成下列句子,使之完整与正确。
①It is on the morning of May 1st _____ I met Liang Wei at the airport.
②It is the factory _____ Mr Wang works.
解析:定语从句与强调句的主要区别在于:强调句的结构为“It is/was+被强调部分+that+从句”。被强调部分可以是除谓语以外的任何成分,当被强调部分是人时,还可用who代替that。这一句型中,一定不能因为被强调部分是表时间或地点的词就用when或where代替 that。从结构上看,①小题是强调句,故填 that。此种情况检测的标准是:先把强调句中的It is/was去掉,再把被强调部分还原,在不增加或减少任何单词的情况下,如句子仍然成立则为强调句,否则为定语从句。将第①小题改为:I met Liang Wei on the morning of May 1st at the airport.显然,这句话是正确的,故为强调句。②小题则是定语从句,用上述方法转换便知the factory前差个介词in,故填 where。
四、定语从句与习惯句型
用一个恰当的词完成下列句子,使之完整与正确。
①It is the first time _____ she has been in Shanghai.
②It was the time _____ Chinese people had a hard life.
解析:这里①小题是一个习惯句型,其结构为:It is/was the first/second ... time +that从句。故①填that,其意为:这是她第一次在上海。②小题the time是先行词,其后是表示时间的定语从句,故填 when。
五、定语从句与单句
用一个恰当的词完成下列句子,使之完整与正确。
①The mother told the lazy boy to work,_____ didn't help.
②The mother told the lazy boy to work._____ didn't help.
解析:含有定语从句的复合句与两个单句的主要区别在于:前者有主句,有从句,必须有关系词;而后者则是两个单独的句子,不需要任何关联词。①小题两个句子用逗号连接且没有并列连词,显然应是主从句关系,因此需用关系词 which,前面整个句子作先行词;②小题则填It,代替前面的整个句子。解题时,注意标点符号的运用。
