三、語法講解
定語從句
在新二的時(shí)候，我們就已經(jīng)學(xué)習(xí)過定語了，什么能夠當(dāng)定語？定語修飾什么？長的短的定語分別放在哪里。今天我們來繼續(xù)更深入的學(xué)習(xí)。
定語從句是由關(guān)系代詞或關(guān)系副詞引導(dǎo)的從句，其作用是作定語修飾主句的某個(gè)名詞性成分，相當(dāng)于形容詞，所以又稱為形容詞性從句，一般跟在它所修飾的先行詞后面。在復(fù)合句中，修飾某一名詞或代詞叫做定語從句。
定語從句引導(dǎo)詞
引導(dǎo)定語從句的關(guān)聯(lián)詞稱為關(guān)系詞，關(guān)系詞有關(guān)系代詞和關(guān)系副詞。關(guān)系代詞有that, which, who, whom, whose, as等，絕對(duì)沒有what；關(guān)系副詞有where, when, why等。
下面就以本課為例，來看看定語從句的各種形式。
1> 定語從句只是對(duì)于被修飾詞的補(bǔ)充說明、修飾
-- 定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞：
-- 指人：主語who；賓語who, whom；定語 whose
-- 指物：that（也可以指人）/ which
they were not taken seriously（they指代reports）
-- 時(shí)間狀語：when / 地點(diǎn)狀語：where / 原因狀語：why
When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles
south of London, they were not taken seriously.
2> 同位語從句則是講述被修飾名詞的內(nèi)容
-- 同位語從句的引導(dǎo)詞：
-- 名詞(做主語、賓語等)：關(guān)系詞用that而不是which
-- 時(shí)間：when； 地點(diǎn)：where
-- 定語從句中沒有what這個(gè)關(guān)系詞，但what可以引導(dǎo)同位語從句
-- An idea came to her that she might do the experiment in another way.
-- I have no idea what has happened to him。
3>過去分詞做定語：
-- the descriptions given by people
-- the story told by the sailor (n.海員, 水手, 船員)
-- a book written by Luxun
claim to have done sth 聲稱曾經(jīng)做過某事
-- He claimed to have been the manager of the large shop.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw
'a large cat' only five yards away from her.
Where a woman picking… 定語從句
-- I still remember the school where I studied English.

定語從句
在新二的時(shí)候，我們就已經(jīng)學(xué)習(xí)過定語了，什么能夠當(dāng)定語？定語修飾什么？長的短的定語分別放在哪里。今天我們來繼續(xù)更深入的學(xué)習(xí)。
定語從句是由關(guān)系代詞或關(guān)系副詞引導(dǎo)的從句，其作用是作定語修飾主句的某個(gè)名詞性成分，相當(dāng)于形容詞，所以又稱為形容詞性從句，一般跟在它所修飾的先行詞后面。在復(fù)合句中，修飾某一名詞或代詞叫做定語從句。
定語從句引導(dǎo)詞
引導(dǎo)定語從句的關(guān)聯(lián)詞稱為關(guān)系詞，關(guān)系詞有關(guān)系代詞和關(guān)系副詞。關(guān)系代詞有that, which, who, whom, whose, as等，絕對(duì)沒有what；關(guān)系副詞有where, when, why等。
下面就以本課為例，來看看定語從句的各種形式。
1> 定語從句只是對(duì)于被修飾詞的補(bǔ)充說明、修飾
-- 定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞：
-- 指人：主語who；賓語who, whom；定語 whose
-- 指物：that（也可以指人）/ which
they were not taken seriously（they指代reports）
-- 時(shí)間狀語：when / 地點(diǎn)狀語：where / 原因狀語：why
When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles
south of London, they were not taken seriously.
2> 同位語從句則是講述被修飾名詞的內(nèi)容
-- 同位語從句的引導(dǎo)詞：
-- 名詞(做主語、賓語等)：關(guān)系詞用that而不是which
-- 時(shí)間：when； 地點(diǎn)：where
-- 定語從句中沒有what這個(gè)關(guān)系詞，但what可以引導(dǎo)同位語從句
-- An idea came to her that she might do the experiment in another way.
-- I have no idea what has happened to him。
3>過去分詞做定語：
-- the descriptions given by people
-- the story told by the sailor (n.海員, 水手, 船員)
-- a book written by Luxun
claim to have done sth 聲稱曾經(jīng)做過某事
-- He claimed to have been the manager of the large shop.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw
'a large cat' only five yards away from her.
Where a woman picking… 定語從句
-- I still remember the school where I studied English.
