定語(yǔ)從句是高中英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法學(xué)習(xí)中的重點(diǎn)和難點(diǎn),也是高考中的一個(gè)??键c(diǎn)。在語(yǔ)法填空和短文改錯(cuò)中是經(jīng)常考查的。在語(yǔ)法填空中要求考生填一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)年P(guān)系詞,短文改錯(cuò)要求考生判斷關(guān)系詞是否用錯(cuò)了,即考查的焦點(diǎn)是關(guān)系詞。筆者指導(dǎo)考生采用“還原——補(bǔ)缺——看成分”三步法選用關(guān)系詞,效果較好。
還原:就是將先行詞放回到定語(yǔ)從句中。
補(bǔ)缺:(1)放回定語(yǔ)從句中之后,若該句為一個(gè)完整的句子,不需要再加其他成分(在從句中作主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ))時(shí),填who, which或that;(2)有的需要補(bǔ)充所有格或介詞,結(jié)構(gòu)和意思才完整,需要補(bǔ)上所有格(用作定語(yǔ))時(shí),用whose,需補(bǔ)充介詞(用作狀語(yǔ))時(shí),根據(jù)情況用when, where或why(先行詞僅限r(nóng)eason)。
看成分:就是看先行詞或先行詞與補(bǔ)充的部分一起在句中作何種成分,作主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)用who, which或that,作定語(yǔ)用whose,作狀語(yǔ)用when, where或why。
[例1]A plane is a machine _______ can fly.
還原:The machine can fly.
補(bǔ)缺:不用補(bǔ),結(jié)構(gòu)和意思已完整。
成分:the machine在句中作主語(yǔ),指物,用which或that。
[例2]The boy _______ broke the window is called Tom.
還原:The boy broke the window.
補(bǔ)缺:還原后句子的結(jié)構(gòu)和意思完整,不補(bǔ)缺。
看成分:在句中作主語(yǔ),指人,用who或that。
[例3]The fish _______ we bought this morning were not fresh.
還原:We bought the fish this morning.
補(bǔ)缺:還原后句子的結(jié)構(gòu)和意思完整,不補(bǔ)缺。
看成分:在句中作賓語(yǔ),指物,用which或that或省略不用關(guān)系代詞。
結(jié)論:當(dāng)代表先行詞的關(guān)系詞在從句中充當(dāng)主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)時(shí),不需補(bǔ)缺,指人時(shí)用who, whom或that,指物時(shí)用which或that。另外,作賓語(yǔ)時(shí)可省略。
[例4]The boy _______ parents are dead was brought up by his grandfather.
還原:The boy s parents are dead.
補(bǔ)缺:還原后,“the boy parents (那個(gè)男孩父母)”意義不完整,需補(bǔ)上一個(gè)所有格,變成“the boys parents(那個(gè)男孩的父母)”才通順。
看成分:the boys在句中作定語(yǔ),用whose。
結(jié)論: 當(dāng)還原后,句子意思不完整,需補(bǔ)上一個(gè)所有格時(shí),引導(dǎo)該定語(yǔ)從句的關(guān)系詞用whose。注意,whose后面緊跟一個(gè)名詞,whose和它所修飾的名詞在定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)。
[例5]I still remember the day _______ I came here.
還原:I came here on the day.
補(bǔ)缺:還原后句子不完整,需補(bǔ)上一個(gè)介詞on。
看成分:on the day做狀語(yǔ),表時(shí)間,所以用when。
[例6]This is the house _______ I lived last year.
還原:I lived in the house last year.
補(bǔ)缺:還原后句子不完整,需補(bǔ)上一個(gè)介詞in。
看成分:in the house做狀語(yǔ),表地點(diǎn),所以用where。
[例7]There are many reasons _______ people like traveling.
還原:people like traveling for many reasons.
補(bǔ)缺:還原后句子不完整,需補(bǔ)上一個(gè)介詞for。
看成分:for many reasons做狀語(yǔ),表原因,所以用why。
結(jié)論:當(dāng)還原后,句子意思不完整,需補(bǔ)上一個(gè)介詞時(shí),該引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句的關(guān)系詞用when, where或why,分別表示時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)和原因。
