44、： when, where, why 等。1 .关系代词所代替的先行词是人或物的名词或代词，并在从句中充当主语、宾语等成分。关系代词在定语从句中作主语时，从句谓语动词的人称和数要和先行词保持一致。who, whom, that 。这些词代替的先行词是人的名词或代词，在从句中作主语和宾语。如：He is the right actor I want to find for my film.whose 用来指人或物，只用作定语。若指物时，它可以同of which 互换，互换时为：n + ofwhich。如：Please pass me the book whose cover is torn.Pl

45、ease pass me the book the cover of which is torn.which, that所代替的先行词是事物的名词或代词，在从句中可作主语、宾语等。如：Italy is a famous city which has a lot of great buildings.2 .关系副词引导的定语从句关系副词的先行词是时间、地点或理由的名词，如： when, where, why ,在从句中作状语。关系副词 的含义相当于"介词 + which ”结构。如：Beijing is the place where(in which) I was born.Is t

46、his the reason why (for which) he refused our offer3 .判断关系代词与关系副词(1)用关系代词，还是关系副词完全取决于从句中的谓语动词。及物动词后面要求用关系代词作宾语；而不及物动词则要求用关系副词作状语。如：This is the mountain village where I visited last year.（昔）This is the mountain village where I stayed last year.（又寸）I will never forget the days when I spent in the coun

47、tryside.（专昔）I'll never forget the days when I worked together with you.（又t）（2）准确判断先行词在定语从句中的成分（主、谓、宾、定、状），也能正确选择出关系代词/关系副词。例句 1 Is this museum you visited a few days ageA. where B. that C. on which D. the one分析 正确选项为 D。该句变为肯定句为：This museum is you visited a few days ago.该句所缺部分为宾语，而where, that, on

48、 which都不能起到宾语的作用，只有 the one既作了主句的表语，又可作从句的宾语，可以省略关系代词，所以应选 Do例句 2 Is this the museum the exhibition was held.A. where B. that C. which D. the one分析正确选项为 A。该句变为肯定句为：This is the museum the exhibition was held.该句中主、谓、宾俱全，从句部分为句子的状语表地点，既可用副词where ,也可用介词in + which引导地点状语。如果 C项中的which前面加in ,也是正确选项。Step 3 P
