限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别

1、限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别限制性定语从句提供有关主语或宾语的重要信息，起限定作用，与被修饰部分的关系紧密，如果省略该从句会使主句语义表达不完整。例如：This is the very person that is wanted by the police .He is the man who /that lives next door .It was a meeting whose importance I did not realize at the time .非限制性定语从句只是用来对被修饰部分作补充性的说明， 与先行词关系比较松散，先行词与从句间可以用逗号隔开，从句可略去：

2、He will not be able to spend the holiday with his family, which is a big annoyance to him.The minister , who is to visit our university , is said to be a Qinghua University graduate.The book , which your sister bought you in Xinhua Bookstore , is very useful in improving your spoken English.The busi

3、nessman , whose suitcase has been found by a stranger , has left for Beijing.如果定语从句的先行词是专有名词或是带有形容词性物主代词(my, his, etc) 或形容词性指示代词(this, that,etc) 作限定词的名词词组，其后的定语从句通常为非限制性的。例如：The Thames , which is now clean enough to swim in , was polluted for over a hundred years.My mother , who has been on a visit

4、to Australia , will fly back tomorrow.All of these books, which have been donated by visiting professors , are to be used by the children in Hope School.限制性定语从句的先行词只能是名词，代词或名词性词组，而非限制性定语从句的先行词除了是名词及名词性 词组外，还可能是句子的一部分或是整个句子。例如：They say he plays truant, which he doesn 't. which 指代 plays truantThe

19、as I read last week .（这 和我上周读的那本书是一样的。）This is the same book that I read last year （这就是我上周读的那本书。） 如果先行词表示抽象概念，则没有这种区别，例如：She told me the same story as/that she had told you .I had the same difficulty that/as you had last year .疝as/so-as结构中，后面的as也是关系代词，例如:We took as many men as could be permitted to

21、aims at improving the students ability in a more effective way.The test is cancelled, as you have hoped .The test, as you have hoped , is cancelled.A semiconductor material, as the name indicates , has poorer conductivity than a conductor. 注 ： as 代表前面的整个主句并在从句中做主语时表达 的意思应与主句一致，而且从句中的谓语必须是系动词；若为行为动词，

22、则从句中的关系代词只能用which. 例如：Hefailedtopass theexamagain,as ispredicted.Hefailedtopass theexamagain,whichannoyed his mother greatly.记住以下的as 结构：as is known to all （众所周知）， as is often thecase （ 情 况 常 常 如 此 ） ， as the name Indicates suggests （ 顾名思义）， as may be imagined （ 可以想象得出 ）， as often happens （这种情况常常发生），

27、是限制性定语从句，又可以是非限制性定语从句，“介词+ 关系代词 ”在从句中做主语、宾语、状语、定语等，介词的选择则要根据它与其先行词的关系或前后名词、动词等的搭配关系来决定，同时还应该考虑句子在上下文中要表达的意思。3.3.1 “介词 + which whom whose ”这时应注意介词与句中短语的搭配。例如：The problem with which I have trouble has now been solved.Oil , of which there are several differenttypes , is used for many purposes by countr

28、ies all over the world.The man,because of whosehelp themurdererwas caught by the police , iscoming to our school tomorrow.介词放在关系代词之前的形式的定语从句较之将介词至于从句之末的定语从句正式，因此多用于书面语当中， 但在口语中有时也会出现；或者将介词后置，或在介词后置后用that （人、物）who （人）代替which whom ，并且 that 可省略。例如；Can you lend me a pen or pencil I can write ?Can you le

50、39;ll never forget the days which I spent with youin Tokyo . （spend 及物，有宾语）This is the reason why he did not come thatmorning. （come 不及物动词）This is the reason which/ that he found to excuse for himself. （find 及物动词）3.9.2先行词在定语从句中的成分（主、谓、宾、定、状）先行词表示时间、地点或原因时，就选用关系副词，用when , where或why ,在从句中应该是做状语，否则的话则应

51、该用 which /that等，that有时可以代替 when , where 或 why ,但 when , where 或 why 中不 能代替that 。例如：1. Is this museum ago?A. where D. the one2.

52、one 既做了主句的表语，又可做从句的宾语，可以省略关系代词，所以应选D;而在句2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 ，又因 in themuseum 词组，可用介词in which 引导地点状语。而此题中，介词on 用的不对，所以选A。当从句的逻辑主语是some, any, no, somebody,anybody, nobody, something, anything, everything 或 nothing 时，常用there is 来引导。例如：I don t want to concentrate on anything there is wo

53、rrying me.引导条件从句的连词引导条件从句的连词比较多，我们可以把它们分为以下几个大类：1 、表示 “ 只要、只有” ： as, as (so) far as, as (so) longas, only if, only that, but that ：As (So) long as we don t lose heart , we ll find a way to overcome the difficulty.There s war in so far as there s the earth beneath our feet .But that he is ill , he wo
