文法重點(四) :關係子句
1. 關係代名詞:兼具代名詞和連接詞的作用,用來替代先行詞(前述詞)
主格 | 所有格 | 受格 | |
---|---|---|---|
人 | who | whose | whom |
非人 | which | whose | which |
人與非人 | that | X | that |
2. 關係子句用來限定或補述先行詞,最大的重點就是要搞清楚關係代名詞在關係子句中的位置,下面整理了關係代名詞當主詞、受詞和所有格的時候句型會有什麼樣的不同
(1) 關係代名詞當主詞:who / which / that + V
例句:The boy who is wearing a red hoodie is my brother. (那位穿著紅色帽T的男孩是我弟弟)
例句:This is the car which Tom bought last week. (這就是Tom上週買的車)
(2) 關係代名詞當所有格:whose + N
例句: The poor boy crashed some cars whose price is quite high. (那可憐的男孩撞毀了幾台價格昂貴的車子)
例句:Do you know the man whose beard is red? (你認識那位留紅鬍子的男人嗎?)
(3) 關係代名詞當受詞:whom / which / that + S +V
例句:I just had a conversation with the girl who I met in the party. (我剛剛跟我在派對遇到的女孩講話)
例句:Jimmy is the most thoughtful boy that I have ever seen. (吉米是我所見過最體貼的男孩子了)
3. 關係代名詞一定要用that的句型
(1) 先行詞為人+非人
例句:Did you see a man and a dog that were taking a walk in the park? (你有看到在公園裡散步的男人和小狗嗎?)
(2) 先行詞有最高級
例句: This is the worst movie that I have ever seen. (這是我看過的電影中最糟糕的一部)
(3) 先行詞有序數
例句:Mary is the last girl that I can trust. (瑪麗是我最不能信任的人)
(4) 先行詞有all/no / every/ any
例句:You should tell everything that you know to the police. (你應該告訴警方所有你知道的事)
(5) 先行詞有the only / the same / the very
例句:Joseph is the very famous actor that many women want to marry him. (Joseph正是那位許多女人想要和他結婚的知名演員)
(6) who / which當疑問詞
例句:Who is the teacher that all the students in the school are crazy about? (誰是那位讓全校學生都瘋狂的老師?)
4. 關係代名詞一定不能用that的句型
(1) 關係代名詞在介系詞後面
例句:That is the hotel in which we will stay. (那就是我們要住的飯店)
(2) 逗號後面
例句: I would like to introduce our manager, who is going to deliver a speech. (容我介紹我們的經理,她接下來要為大家發表演說)
5. 關係副詞:考試的時候務必要注意,「時間副詞片語」和「地方副詞片語」的介系詞有沒有出現在句子裡面,這個是解題的關鍵點。至於how和why的部分,注意題目是否缺少詢問「方法」或是「原因、理由」的字眼,這個部分相對來說比較簡單
(1) when(時間) = in / on/ at +which
例句:I can still remember the day when we met the first time. = I can still remember the day on which we met the first time. (我還記得我們認識的那一天)
(2) where(地點) = in / on / at +which
例句:Taichung is the city where Mr. King lives. = Taichung is the city in which Mr. King lives. = Taichung is the city which Mr. King lives in. (台中就是King先生居住的城市)
(3) how(方法) = by +which
例句:Let me show you how I found out the solution.= Let me show you the way by which I found out the solution. (讓我來告訴你我怎麼找出解決方法的)
(4) why(原因) = for +which
例句:Do you know why Linda looks so angry? =Do you know the reason for which Linda looks so angry? (你知道為什麼Linda看起來這麼生氣嗎?)
