初中英语语法特辑⑧:|定语从句关系词,一张表分清
初中英语语法精讲 · 第 30 期
导语
单选题里最经典的一组:
❌ This is the best movie which I have ever seen.
换个普通的句子,I like the movie which I saw yesterday.,用 which 完全正确。可是一旦前面出现 the best,which 就得让位给 that。that 和 which 大部分时候通用,但各有几条"独占"规则,中考就爱考这几条边界。今天把它们放在拳台上,一个回合一个回合打。
一、先建立地图:关系词五行表
定语从句的关系词,先看先行词是"人"还是"物",再看从句里缺什么成分。
| who | |||
| whom | |||
| which | |||
| that | |||
| whose |
一句话先记住:指物 that、which 通吃;指人优先 who;whose 后面必须跟名词。
二、10 个高频易错点(对决式)
1. 先行词是不定代词 → 只能用 that
all, everything, anything, nothing, something, little, much 这些不定代词作先行词,关系词只收 that。
❌ All which can be done has been done. ✅ All that can be done has been done.(能做的都做了。)
口诀:不定代词说了算,关系词只认 that。
2. 先行词被最高级、序数词修饰 → 只能用 that
❌ This is the best film which I have ever seen. ✅ This is the best film that I have ever seen.(这是我看过的最好的电影。) ✅ The first English song that I learned was Twinkle Twinkle.(我学的第一首英文歌是《小星星》。)
口诀:最高级、序数词一露面,which 请靠边。
3. 先行词被 the only / the very / the last 修饰 → 只能用 that
❌ This is the only book which I want to buy. ✅ This is the only book that I want to buy.(这是我唯一想买的书。) ✅ This is the very pen that I'm looking for.(这正是我在找的那支钢笔。)
口诀:only、very、last 一修饰,还是 that 的地盘。
4. 先行词里既有人又有物 → 只能用 that
❌ They talked about the people and things which they remembered. ✅ They talked about the people and things that they remembered.(他们聊起了记得的人和事。)
口诀:人和物混编一队,领队只能是 that。
5. 逗号后面 → 恰恰不能用 that
前面四种场合都只收 that,唯独"逗号"例外:非限制性定语从句(前面有逗号)不能用 that,指物用 which,指人用 who。
❌ I gave him the book, that he liked very much. ✅ I gave him the book, which he liked very much.(我把书给了他,他非常喜欢。) ✅ My mother, who is a nurse, works in a hospital.(我妈妈是护士,在医院工作。)
口诀:逗号一隔开,that 不许进来。
6. 介词提前 → 只能用 which / whom
介词挪到关系词前面时,指物只用"介词 + which",指人用"介词 + whom",that 和 who 都不能跟在介词后。
❌ The house in that I lived has been pulled down. ✅ The house in which I lived has been pulled down.(我住过的那座房子已经拆了。) ✅ The friend with whom I traveled is from Qingdao.(和我一起旅行的朋友来自青岛。)
口诀:介词一提前,which、whom 来站岗。
7. 从句里不许再留 it / him:关系词已经占了这个位置
最高频的错法:关系词作宾语,从句里又塞一个 it / him。
❌ I like the present which my mother gave it to me. ✅ I like the present which my mother gave me.(我喜欢妈妈送我的礼物。) ❌ The girl who we saw her yesterday is my classmate. ✅ The girl who we saw yesterday is my classmate.(我们昨天见的那个女孩是我同学。)
口诀:一个萝卜一个坑,关系词坐了位,it、him 得走人。
8. 作宾语可省略,作主语一步都不能离开
✅ The book (that / which) I bought yesterday is interesting.(作宾语,可省) ❌ The book is on the desk I bought yesterday.(省掉关系词后从句悬空,不行——作主语不能省) ✅ The book that/which is on the desk is mine.(作主语,不能省)
口诀:宾语能省主语不能,省完通读一遍保平安。
9. 谓语的单复数,看先行词不看关系词
✅ I have a friend who lives in Shanghai.(先行词 a friend 单数 → lives) ✅ He has two friends who live in Shanghai.(先行词 two friends 复数 → live)
关系词本身没有"数",单复数全由先行词决定。这和第 21 期讲的是同一条铁律,这里再强调一遍。
口诀:关系词是传送带,单复数原样送过去。
10. what 不是关系词,永远进不了定语从句
❌ I like the book what you lent me. ✅ I like the book that / which you lent me.(我喜欢你借我的那本书。)
what 只能引导名词性从句(I like what you gave me.),不能引导定语从句——选关系词时,选项里出现 what 直接划掉。
口诀:定语从句没 what 的座,看见 what 划掉它。
三、中考风格演练(4 题)
1. — What are you looking for? — I'm looking for the pen ______ my father gave me last week.
A. which B. who C. whose D. what
答案:A 解析:先行词 the pen 是物,从句里 gave me 后面缺直接宾语,用 which 或 that 都对,选项里只有 which 合适;who 指人,whose 表所属,what 不进定语从句。
2. This is the best movie ______ has ever been shown in this city.
A. that B. which C. who D. whom
答案:A 解析:先行词 movie 被最高级 the best 修饰,关系词只能用 that;且 that 在从句中作主语,不能省略。
3. Beijing has many parks, ______ are free to the public.
A. that B. which C. who D. what
答案:B 解析:逗号后的非限制性定语从句不能用 that,指物只能用 which。
4.(短文改错) I still remember the time which we spent together in the countryside.
答案:which → that(或删掉 which) 解析:从句 spent 后面缺宾语(spent the time together),不缺状语,不能用 when 引导;此处关系词作宾语,用 that 或直接省略都可以。
四、随堂练习(5 题)
1. Everything ______ he said at the meeting is true.
A. which B. that C. what D. who
2. Yao Ming is a player ______ is famous all over the world.
A. which B. who C. whose D. whom
3. 改错:The photos what I took in Shanghai are beautiful.
4. 改错:I like the girl who we talked to her just now.
5. 语法填空:This is the first present ______ I have received on my birthday.
参考答案
- B
。先行词 Everything 是不定代词,关系词只能用 that。 - B
。先行词 a player 是人,关系词在从句中作主语,用 who。 - what → that / which
。what 不能引导定语从句;先行词 the photos 是物,用 that 或 which。 - 删去 her
。who 已经是 talked to 的宾语,从句里不能再留代词 her。 - that
。先行词 present 被 the first(序数词)修饰,只能用 that。
五、一句话总结
that vs which 就记三条:
- 四种场合只收 that
:先行词是不定代词、被最高级或序数词修饰、被 the only / very / last 修饰、人和物混编。 - 两个地方只收 which
:逗号之后、介词之后——that 一律不许进。 - 从句里不许留 it / him
:关系词占的那个坑,别的代词别再站。
下期预告: used to、be used to、be used for——三个"used"长得像三胞胎,意思却差了十万八千里。"I used to getting up early" 错在哪?下期对决定义。
