使用定语从句的几个误区(四)
使用定语从句的几个误区(四)
1.误认为关系代词whose只用于修饰人
whose用作疑问代词时,主要用于指人;但用作关系代词时,它既可指人也可指物。如:
It was an island, whose name I have forgotten. 它是一座岛,名字我忘了。
The factory, whose workers are all women, is closed during the holidays. 这家工厂工人都是妇女,在假期中工厂关门了。
2.混淆定语从句与并列句
请看下面两题:
(1) He has two children, and both of _______ are abroad.
A. them B. which C. whom D. who
(2) He has two children, both of _______ are abroad.
A. them B. which C. whom D. who
第(1)题选A,第(2)题选C。由于第(1)题中用了并列连词and,从而使整个句子为并列句,and后应是一个独立的简单句,所以选A不选C;第(2)题没有并列连词and,both of whom are abroad为非限制性定语从句。另外,请比较下题(答案为A):
He has two children, both of _______ being abroad.
A. them B. which C. whom D. who
3.误认为逗号后一定是非限制性定语从句
有的同学一看见逗号,就以为一定要选which而不选that,但问题是有时根本就不是定语从句。如:
(1) If a book is in English, _______ means slow progress for you.
A. as B. which C. what D. that
(2) When I say two hours, _______ includes time for eating.
A. as B. which C. what D. that
以上两题均应选that,而不能选which,因为它们根本不是定语从句。之所以选that,是因为句中已有if和when引导的状语从句,逗号后为主句,that为主句主语。
