关系词、关系代词与关系副词
用于引导定语从句的词语叫关系词。关系词根据其词性的不同,可分为关系代词和关系副词。引导定语从句的关系词既起连接先行词与定语从句的作用,同时又在定语从句中充当一定的句子成分。
1. 关系代词:主要有that, which, who, whom, whose, as等,它们在句子中可用作主语(如that, which, who等)、宾语(如that, which, whom等)和定语(如which, whose)。如:
Is he the man that sells dogs? 他就是卖狗的人吗?
She is the girl who won the prize. 她就是获奖的姑娘。
I’ve found the book which I was looking for. 我找到了我要找的书。
She is the woman whose car was stolen. 她就是汽车被盗的那个女人。
She is the woman whom I gave the money to. 她就是我给她钱的那位妇女。
He is absorbed in work, as he often was. 他正在全神贯注地工作,他过去经常这样。
2. 关系副词:主要有where, when, why等,它们在句子中主要用作状语。如:
This is the town where I was born. 这就是我出生的城市。
I’ll never forget the day when I first met you. 我永远不会忘记第一次见你的那天。
We don’t know the reason why he didn’t show up. 我们不知道他为什么没有来。
