定语从句之专题一:从定语从句原理可以推导出定语从句的绝大部分规则

四. whose与of whom/which引导定语从句的对比

whose与of whom/which的用法，见下表，

whose+…

…of whom/which

whose (表人/表物)+名词

the+名词+of whom/which

×

,不定代词/数词+of+whom/which

下边具体讲解此表。

1.一般地，whose+名词=the+名词+of whom/which。如，

I bought a bicycle. The bicycle’s handles were red.（两个单句）→

I bought a bicycle whose handles were red.（“whose+名词”引导定从）

I bought a bicycle. The handles of the bicycle were red.（两个单句）→

I bought a bicycle the handles of which were red.（“the+名词+of which”引导定从）

注意，只有当作主语时，“the+名词+of which” =“of which the+名词”。如，

I bought a bicycle the handles of which were red.（the+名词+of which）

=I bought a bicycle of which the handles were red.（of which+the+名词）

=I bought a bicycle whose handles were red.（whose+名词）

2.不定代词/数词+of whom/which，只用在非限制性定语从句中，且此时的“of whom/which”不能用whose代替。（这里的不定代词有some, any, all, both, many, most等。数词有one, the first等。）（这里的“不能用whose代替”是很容易理解的，因为，显然没有“whose+不定代词或数词”这种结构。）

●It’s a family of eight children, some of whom are studying music.

●Here are the questions, some of which I think difficult.

（I think some of which difficult→some of which I think difficult）

●Here are many books, two of which he borrowed. 

（I borrowed two of which→two of which I borrowed）
