I like the music which can dance
1) which前面可以有介詞,that不行。
the small village in which we spent our childhood has a lot of big changes.
2) 先行詞是all/everything/nothing/something/anything/much/little/few等不定代詞時其后必須用that;作為先行詞的名詞前有序數詞、形容詞最高級以及the only/the very(恰好;正好)/
the just(正好;恰好)等限定語時其后必須用that。
there is nothing that can make him happy again.
that is the first/the best/the only movie (that) i’d like to see.
從定語從句與先行詞的關系來看,定語從句可分為限制性和非限制性兩種:
1) 限制性定語從句與先行詞關系很緊密,若被去掉主句存在的意義將嚴重受損。
he who doesn’t study hard won’t pass the exam.
march 23, 1990 was the day when jim was born.
2) 非限制性定語從句與先行詞關系不緊密,只是對先行詞作一些補充或附加說明,即使去掉也不太影響主句存在的意義(that不能引導非限制性定語從句)。
the small village, where we spent our childhood, has a lot of big changes.
i gave our new teacher a bunch of flowers, which made her very happy.
miss li, who came to see us yesterday, is our teacher.
3) 限制性定語從句不能用逗號“,”與先行詞隔開,而非限制性定語從句通常用“,”與主句隔開。(例句見上例)
使用定語從句應注意以下幾點:
1) 關系代詞在定語從句中作主語,其后動詞單復數形式由關系代詞前的名詞或代詞(即先行詞)決定。
he who doesn’t study hard won’t pass the exam.
2) 因為關系代詞或關系副詞在定語從句中已充當一個成分,該從句中不能出現與它重復的成分出現。
that is the only movie (that) i’d like to see. (√)
that is the only movie (that) i’d like to see it. (×)
在該例句中引導詞that作定語從句中see的賓語,不能在see后面再加上一個重復意義的it作賓語。
3) 定語從句中的固定短語不能拆分成介詞+which/whom引導的結構。
the pen which i’m looking for is blue. (√)
the pen for which i’m looking is blue. (×)
