定语从句
1. 定语从句的含义
在复合句中,修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。被修饰的名词或代词,叫先行词。
从句放在所修饰词(即先行词)之后,由关系代词或关系副词引导。
2. 定语从句的引导词
定语从句的引导词可分为关系代词that,which,who(宾格whom,所有格whose)和关系
副词where,when,why等。我们先就关系代词作重点讲解。
3. 关系代词的作用
关系代词who,whom,whose,which,that在定语从句中的作用见下表:

(1)who
who指人,在定语从句中作主语。如:

国。
小小诊所:当关系代词在从句中作主语时,从句的谓语动词要与先行词保持主谓一致。如:

(2)whom
whom指人,在定语从句中作宾语,常可省略。如:

院。
(4)that
that既可以指人,也可以指物。指人时,相当于who或whom;指物时,相当于which。that
作宾语时,常省略。如:

物,作主语)
The woman athlete (that/who/whom)I read about in the newspaper has just won a gold
medal.我在报纸上看到的那位女运动员刚刚获得了一枚金牌。(指人,作宾语)
