which的常見用法歸類
which的常見用法歸類
which的用法是英語學習中的一個難點,下面學習啦小編給大家歸納它的相關用法,希望能對大家有所幫助:
1、在問句中作疑問代詞,在名詞從句中作為連接代詞用,其含義為“哪兒,哪些”.
2、如果非限制性定語從句的先行詞不是指主句內容,而是指具體的人、時間、地點,則不用which.
3、在后置的非限制性定語從句中代替上文出現(xiàn)的事物或者情況(單數(shù)或復數(shù)).
下面主要講解一下在定語從句中的常見用法:
一、關系代詞that和which在定語從句中作主語和賓語,放在先行詞和定語從句之間,起聯(lián)系作用,指物時,一般情況下可互換,如:
A plane is machine that/which can fly(that/which指物,做主語)
The man that works in this room is a chemist(that 指人,作主語)
Here is the pen that/which you lost yesterday(that/which 指物作賓語)
He is the most careful boy that I know(that指人,作賓語)
二、關系代詞在主語從句中作主語時,從句的謂語動詞的人稱和數(shù)須賀先行詞一致.
wheat is a plant that/which is grown in the north of China.
三、that、which在從句中作主語時,不能省略.作賓語時在口語中和非正式問題中經常省略.如上例1和3中的that、which都可省略.
四、在定語從句中,關系代詞that和which指物時,一般沒有區(qū)別,但下列幾種情況中不能互換:
1、只能用that的情況:
a、先行詞被序數(shù)詞所修飾時:
The first thing (that) we should do is to work out a plan.
b、先行詞被形容詞最高級所修飾時:
This is one of the most exciting football games(that)I have ever seen.
The nanjing yangtse river bridge is the longest bridge (that) they ever seen.
c、先行詞為all、everything、nothing、anything、little等不定代詞(something后也可以用which):
Is there anything (that) I can do for you town?
That is all (that) I Know.
d、 在“the time when”等結構和某些事件狀語中,when常被that代替,而且that往往被省略.
I may leave here any time I want to.
During the time I was there I visited him twice.
e、當先行詞中即有人又有物時:
The man and the car (that)you want to see are all here .你想見的人和車斗在這.
f、that 可指人,which則不能.
g、 way 后面可根由that引導的定語從句,但that一般都省略:
That was the way she looked after us.
who is the man that is reading new paper over there?
h、先行詞被形容詞最高級修飾時:
This is the only thing (that) we can do now.
He gave me the same pen (that) were written by Lu Xun?
2、在下列情況下,只能用which
a、放在介詞后面做介詞定語時:
This is the question about which we’ve had so much discussion
但是,如果把介詞放在從句后部.這時which 就可換為that并常省略,如上例可以改為:
This is the question that we are had so much discussion about.
b、在非限定性定語從句,無論指物指人,都不能用that,指物時,只能用which和其他關系代詞,如:
All the books there,which have beautiful pictures in them,were written by him.
