定語(yǔ)從句,又名形容詞性從句,共分為兩大類:限制性定語(yǔ)從句和非限制性定語(yǔ)從句,由關(guān)系代詞who, whom, whose, that, which, as或關(guān)系副詞when, where, why等引導(dǎo)。
定語(yǔ)從句的關(guān)聯(lián)詞之所以命名為關(guān)系詞, 是因?yàn)樗P(guān)系到先行詞, 也關(guān)系到定語(yǔ)從句, 在中間起重要的橋梁作用, 關(guān)系代詞代替先行詞, 同時(shí)在定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)(whose作定語(yǔ)); 關(guān)系副詞相當(dāng)于“介詞+先行詞”, 同時(shí)在定語(yǔ)從句中作狀語(yǔ)。
一、兩類定語(yǔ)從句的區(qū)別:
All the books that have pictures have been sent to them.
所有有插圖的書(shū)都給他們寄去了。(言外之意, 沒(méi)有插圖的書(shū)就沒(méi)給他們寄。)
All the books, which have pictures, have been sent to them.
所有的書(shū)都給他們寄去了, 所有的書(shū)都有插圖。

二、關(guān)系代詞和關(guān)系副詞的用法列舉:
三、幾組關(guān)系代詞的用法區(qū)別:
1. 當(dāng)先行詞指人時(shí), 許多情況下既可用that也可用who,但在下列情況下, 用who不用that:
2. 當(dāng)先行詞指物時(shí),許多情況下既可用that也可用which,但下列情況下, 用that不用which:
3. 關(guān)系代詞which與as引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句的區(qū)別:
(1)as引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語(yǔ)從句位于主句的前后皆可, which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語(yǔ)從句只能位于句末, as從句與主句多為并列關(guān)系, which從句與主句常為因果關(guān)系。

四、介詞+關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句
介詞+關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句時(shí), 介詞的賓語(yǔ)只能是which或whom。
1. 當(dāng)介詞位于關(guān)系代詞的前面時(shí), 關(guān)系代詞which或whom不能省略;當(dāng)介詞位于關(guān)系代詞的后面時(shí), 關(guān)系代詞which或whom可以省略。
