一. 定義
在復(fù)合句中,修飾某一名詞或代詞的從句叫做定語從句。
二. 知識梳理:抓住重點
(一)定語從句所修飾的詞 叫先行詞。 定語從句放在先行詞后面。定語從句分為限定性定語從句和非限定性定語從句。本章只介紹限定性定語從句。引導(dǎo)定語從句的詞有關(guān)系代詞that、which、who、 which、 whose和關(guān)系副詞where 、when,關(guān)系代詞和關(guān)系副詞是引導(dǎo)詞, 在定語從句中擔當某一成份。
(二)關(guān)系代詞和關(guān)系副詞的作用:
①先行詞指物時, 關(guān)系代詞用that 或which(在句中作主語或賓語)。如:
China is a country which/that has a large population.
The computer game which/that he is playing is his favorite.
②先行詞指人時, 關(guān)系代詞用(who)作主語或賓語,whom (作賓語),whose (作定語),that (作主語或賓語)。如:
The man who is mending the machine has been retired.
This is the policeman who/whom they were talking about yesterday.
I like the girl whose mother is an actor.
(三)下列情況下關(guān)系代詞只用that 而不用
which 或 who。
1. 先行詞是指物的不定代詞,如:all, little, few, much, none, anything, nothing, everything等時。如:I didn't understand the words all that he said.
2.先行詞由最高級、序數(shù)詞以及any, very, only, all, no, just 等所修飾。如:This is the most beautiful place that I have been to .
3. 先行詞既包括人,也包括物。如:They always like to talk about the man and the things that they see on the road.
4. 當主句是以which 或who 開頭的特殊疑問句時。如:Who is the man that opened up the lab.
三. 例題解析:舉一反三

A. who heB. whose C. / D. who
解析:引導(dǎo)詞在定語從句中做主語,指人。應(yīng)選D 。

③This is the only one of these books that ________worth reading.
A.has B. haveC. is D. are
