时间或地点名词后一定要用where, when来引导定语从句吗

 

我们有的初学者在学习定语从句时,误认为时间名词后就一定要用 when 来引导定语从句,地点名词后就一定要用 where 来引导定语从句。其实不一定。如:

a. I will never forget the days __________ I lived in the country.

b. I will never forget the days __________ I spent in the country.

A. that,that                      B. when,when               C. that,when               D. when,that

此题应选D。容易误选B。考生往往错误地认为,时间或地点名词后的定语从句就一定要用关系副词when或where 来引导。注意在选择关系副词when 时,考生要明确两个问题:一是先行词是否是指时间或地点的名词,二是when,where在定语从句中是否用作状语。

a句中的定语从句主语和宾语齐全,所以可用表时间的状语(when),而b句中的定语从句,显然 spent缺宾语,所以选关系代词that。

考生从以上分析中应明确这样一点:选择关系词时一定要看它在定语从句中充当什么成分。尤其是当先行词为表时间或地点的名词时,千万不要想当然地认为一定要用关系副词when和where来引导定语从句。再如:

1. a. This is the school ________ I studied last year.

b. This is the school ________ I visited last year.

A. that,that                                                        B. where,where

C. that,where                                                     D. where,that

2. a. I still remember the time ________ he was born.

b. I still remember the time ________ he told me.

A. that,that                                                        B. when,when

C. that,when                                                      D. when,that

答案:1. D      2. D
