注意分清是关系代词还是人称代词

现在同学们应该搞清楚了吧。下面请再看一道考题:

She brought with her three friends, none of ________ I had ever met before.

A. them                    B. who                     C. whom                  D. these

这道题是用them还是whom?套用上面的分析,我们可以很容易地确定答案为C,而不是A。但是,如果我们把题目稍为改变一下呢?如改成:

She brought with her three friends, and none of ________ I had ever met before.

A. them                    B. who                     C. whom                  D. these

这道题的答案就不能是whom,而应是them了。当然,选these在语法上也是对的,只是意思上不是很通顺,相比较而言,显然不如用them好。

最后再来看一个很典型的例子:

Simon loves you, ________ is why he wants to be with you.

A. it                         B. that                      C. which                  D. what

由于that’s why…是同学们非常熟悉的句式,所以许多人可能会毫不犹豫地选B。又错了!最佳答案应是C。首先,由于句子间没有并列连词,所以排除A和B;又因为what不是关系代词,不能引导定语从句,所以也不能选。注意,如果在两个句子间加上并列连词and,或将其中的逗号改为破折号或分号,则可用that,如以下三句都是正确的:

Simon loves you—that’s why he wants to be with you.

Simon loves you and that’s why he wants to be with you.

Simon loves you; that’s why he wants to be with you.
