Chapter3. Planning for the Perfect Wedding-grammar-

題解：當先行詞前有最高級形容詞修飾，或有序數詞或only, any, few, little, no, all, one of, the very 等詞修飾時，關系代詞用that。
例5  誤：do you know the things and persons who are mentioned by the manager？
正：do you know the things and persons that are mentioned by the manager?
題解：先行詞是由人和物組成的短語時，關系代詞用that。
例6  誤：who who you have ever seen can beat him in chess?
正：who that you have ever seen can beat him in chess？
題解：避免與先行詞who重復時，關系代詞應用that。
例7  誤：today the public are much concerned about the way which nature is ruined.
正：today the public are much concerned about the way (that / in which) nature is ruined.
題解：修飾先行詞way的定語從句比較特殊，一般用that 或in which引導，通常也可省略。
例8  誤：it was midnight that i was waken up by the quarrel upstairs.
正：it was midnight when i was waken up by the quarrel upstairs.
題解：原句被錯認為一個強調句，若是強調句，此句應改為：
      it was at midnight that i was wakened up by the quarrel upstairs.
在這一句子中，先行詞midnight 在從句中作時間狀語，所以應用關系副詞when。
例9  誤：i don’t like to live in the room which windows face north.
正：i don’t like to live in the room whose windows face north.
題解：此句中先行詞room在定語從句中作定語，表示所有關系，所以應用關系代詞whose，有時也可用of which 短語替代。此句亦可改為：
i don’t like to live in the room the windows of which face north.
i don’t like to live in the room of which the windows face north.
例10  誤：that was the reason why mr. black refused to speak for at the meeting.
正：that was the reason (which / that) mr. black refused to speak for at the meeting.
題解：在定語從句中，選擇關系代詞還是關系副詞，最主要看先行詞在定語從句中充當什么成分，如果是主語、賓語或定語，則用關系代詞，若為狀語，則用關系副詞。此句中先行詞reason在從句中充當介詞for后的賓語，所以可以用that或which，或者省略。若此定語從句中沒有介詞for，則此句應改為：
    that was the reason why mr. black refused to speak at the meeting. 此時，reason在從句中作原因狀語。但這與例句的意義不同。例句的意思是：這就是布萊克先生在會議上拒絕辯護的理由。而此句的意思為：這就是布萊克先生在會議上拒絕發言的原因。
例11  誤：as many on-lookers who were on the spot then agreed the motorcyclist was to blame.
正：as many on-lookers as were on the spot then agreed the motorcyclist was to blame.
題解：定語從句的先行詞若有such, as修飾，則關系代詞用as。
例12  誤：that is the same person as asked for help the day before yesterday..
