1、一 . 误用关系词1. Ill never forget the days when we spent together on the farm.2. This is the factory where he was invited to visit last month.分析:定语从句的先行词是表示时间或地点的名词或代词时,引导定语从句的关系词不一定都是 when 或 where .关系词的选择主要取决于定语从句中的谓语动词。如果从句的谓语动词是及物动词而且其后没有宾语,就用关系代词 that 或 which 作宾语。如果从句的谓语动词是不及物动词或者是后面已经有了宾语的及物动词,就用关系副
2、词。在句 1 和句 2 中,从句谓语动词 spent 和 visit 都是及物动词,而且后面又没有宾语,所以应分别将 when 和 where 改为 that 或 which .二 . 宾语重复1. As we all know it, the earth is round.2. The manager discussed the plan that they would like to see it carried out the next month.分析:如果关系代词在从句中作宾语,则谓语动词后面就不能再有宾语。在句 1 中,关系代词 as 作从句谓语动词 know 的宾语,因此, it
3、 就是多余的,应去掉。在句 2 中,关系代词 that 在从句中作动词 see 的宾语,因此 it 也是多余的,应去掉。三 . 缺少先行词或关系词1. Is this park where his father works?2. I went to the village they grew up.分析:定语从句前面必须有先行词和关系词。在句 1 中,关系副词 where 前缺少先行词,所以应在 where 前面加上先行词 the one (代表 this park )。在句 2 中,先行词 the village 和定语从句之间缺少关系词,谓语动词 grew up 为不及物动词,所以应在先行
4、词 the village 后面加上关系副词 where .四 . whose 的误用1. I live in a house whose the window faces south.2. This is the student whoses parents died in the fire.分析: whose 在定语从句中作定语时,应将其放到被修饰的名词前面,该名词前不能再有其他限定词。因此句 1 中应去掉 window 前面的定冠词 the .句 2 中的 whoses 是错误的,因此应去掉“ s ”。五 . 忽略标点符号的作用1. The old man has three sons,
5、 all of them are workers.2. Dont carry the pan out of the kitchen, in that case you might have the house on fire.分析:在使用定语从句时,如果主句和从句之间用了逗号,就意味着逗号后面是一个非限制性定语从句。如果关系词出现在介词的后面,则应为关系代词 whom, whose (指人)或 which (指物),不应该为 that 或 them .因此句 1 中的 them 应改为 whom ,句 2 中的 that 应改为 which .六 . 错认先行词1. I was the onl
6、y one in the office that was invited to the party.2. Do you remember one afternoon in America where a terrible earthquake took place?分析:一般来说,先行词后面紧跟着关系词,其次再跟定语从句。但有时出于意思上的需要而在先行词和关系词之间插入了其他成分。在这种情况下确定哪一个是先行词,便是正确理解句子的关键。在句 1 中,先行词是 the only one 而不是 the office .因此应将 that 改为 who ,以免引起误解。在句 2 中,先行词是 on
7、e afternoon 而不是 America ,故应将 where 改为 when .七 . 不注重固定搭配1. Such person like him cant be depended on.2. He went to the same university which his brother did.分析:当先行词被 such 或 the same 修饰时,其后的定语从句常由 as 引导,因此, such as 和 the same as 是固定搭配。所以,应将句中 1 中的 like 改为 as ;将句 2 中的 which 改为 as .八 . 主谓不一致1. I, who is
8、your brother, have the right to prevent you from doing that.2. She is one of the students who has passed the exam this time.分析:定语从句中的谓语动词和先行词在人称和数上保持一致。句 1 中的先行词是 I ,因此定语从句中的谓语动词 is 应改为 am .但当先行词是 one of 后面的 the students 时,定语从句的谓语动词常为复数形式;如果 one 前面有 the only , the very , the last 修饰,则说明先行词是 one ,定语从
9、句谓语动词常为单数形式。因此,句 2 中的 has 应改为 have 或在 one 前面加修饰语 the only 或 the very .九 . 与其它从句混淆1. This is the house in which he lives.2. This is the house where he lives.3. This is where he lives.4. This is in which he lives.分析:这四个句子中,前三个句子是对的。第四个句子是错的,因为 in which 不能在此句中引导表语从句。由于 in which 前面缺少先行词,因此也不能认为 in which
10、 he lives 是定语从句。十 . 误用 as 和 which1. Bamboo is hollow, as makes it very light.2. Which we all know, the earth is round.分析: as 和 which 用来引导定语从句时,它们之间的区别在于:引导定语从句的 as 可以放到主句前面也可以放到主句后面,而引导定语从句的 which 只能放到主句后面。 as 引导的定语从句表示“正像那样,正如”。例如: as is often the case (这是常有的事), as we all can see (我们可以看得见), as is known to all (大家都知道), as has been pointed out (正如所指出的那样), as is announced (正如所宣布的那样)。因此句 1 中的 as 应改为 which , which 在意思上指前面整个主句的内容,如果用 as ,无论从意思上看还是搭配上看都不对;句 2 中的 which 应改为 as .
