I. 定义:定语是修饰名词或代词的成分,定语可由单词、短语来充当。当用一个句子来充当名词或代词的修饰语时,这种起定语作用的句子就被称为定语从句。They have a clever son. Do you know the man over there?
I know the man who wrote the book.
II. 要点:
1. 定语从句的前面都有先行词(被修饰语)
This is the boy whom we are looking for
2. 定语从句应紧跟在先行词之后
3. 先行词与定语从句之间要有关系词(有时可省略)
4. 关系词在定语从句中充当某一成分
The girl who is standing under the tree is my sister.
The man whom you want to see has come.
