92. 关系从句 Relative clauses 1:(clauses with who/that/which)

The woman who lives next door is a doctor.

who lives next door 叫做关系从句。

可以用that替代who,但是有些时候必须要用who来用作人(unit 95)。


讨论事物时,在关系从句总用thatwhich

I don't like stories that have unhappy endings.

That用的比which多,但是有些时候必须用which.(unit 95)


What = 'the thing(s) that'

What happened was my fault. (= the things happened)

93. 关系从句 Relative clauses2: clauses with and without who/that/which

在关系从句中,如果who/that/which是主语,不能省略;如果是宾语,则可以省略。

The woman who lives next door is a doctor.

这里从句 the woman lives next doorthe woman是主语,所以who在关系子句中是主语,所以这个who不能省略。

The woman who I wanted to see was away on holiday.

这里从句I wanted to see the womanthe woman是宾语,所以who可以省略。

The woman I wanted to see was away.


注意介词in/to/for在关系子句中的位置:

Do you know the woman (who/that) Tom is talking to?

94. Relvative clauses 3: whose/whom/where

whose在关系子句中替代 his/her/their.

we helped some people - their car had broken down.

We helped some people whose car had broken down.


whom可用来替代宾语中的who

George is a person whom I admire very much.

whom还可以跟介词一起用:

I like the people with whom I work.

Whom是一个正式的单词,我们一般不怎么用。我们经常偏好用whothat或直接省略。


当关系子句是在讨论地点时,我们用where

The restaurant where we had lunch was near the airport.


The last time (that) I saw Anna, she looked great.


The reason I'm phoning is to ask your advice.

95 Relative clauses 4: extra information clauses(1)

The woman who lives next door is a doctor My brother Ben, who lives in Hong Kong, is an architect.

96. Relatie clauses 5: extra information clauses(2)

介词 + whom/which

在非正式英语中,我们经常将介词放在动词后面,所以我们用who

All of / most of etc. + whom/ which

比较下面两个句子:

Helen has three brothers. All of them are married. (2个句子)

Helen has three brothers, all of whom are married. (1个句子)

They asked me a lot of questions. I couldn't answer most of them. (2个句子)

-ing子句来说某人在这个特殊时间正在做某事。

-ing子句也可以表示一直发生的事情。

-ed子句有被动的意思。

在这种方式下用left,表示“没有使用个,任然存在”的意思。

-ing子句和-ed子句经常用在 there is/ there was后面。
