从关系词用法到句型变形,全面吃透定语从句结构与用法
一、什么是定语从句?
定语从句是用来修饰名词或代词的从句,整个从句起到定语的作用。它通常紧跟在被修饰词之后,连接词叫做关系词(包括关系代词和关系副词)。
二、关系词分类与功能
1. 关系代词:who, whom, whose, which, that
关系代词 | 指代对象 | 在从句中作 | 示例 |
---|---|---|---|
who | 人 | 主语 | The boy who is running is my brother. |
whom | 人 | 宾语 | The man whom you met is my teacher. |
whose | 人/物 | 定语 | The girl whose bike was stolen is crying. |
which | 物/动物 | 主语/宾语 | The book which is on the desk is mine. |
that | 人/物 | 主/宾 | The movie that we watched was great. |

2. 关系副词:when, where, why
关系副词 | 指代内容 | 示例 |
---|---|---|
when | 时间 | I remember the day when we first met. |
where | 地点 | This is the house where I was born. |
why | 原因(常搭配reason) | That’s the reason why he left. |
三、限定性与非限定性定语从句
✅ 限定性定语从句(Essential)
提供关键信息,不加逗号,不能省略:
- Students who study hard usually perform better.
- The car that broke down belongs to Tom.
✅ 非限定性定语从句(Non-essential)
补充说明,用逗号隔开,不能用 that 引导:
- My father, who is a teacher, loves literature.
- This book, which was published in 1995, is out of print.
四、易错点提醒
- 非限定性从句不能用 that:
❌ My car, that is blue, is fast.
✅ My car, which is blue, is fast. - 主语重复错误:
❌ The girl who she met us yesterday is my cousin.
✅ The girl who met us yesterday is my cousin. - 混用关系词:
不要随便用 which 代替 who 或 vice versa。

五、句型变换练习
将两个句子合并为定语从句:
- She is the teacher. She taught me French.
✅ She is the teacher who taught me French. - This is the school. I studied here for three years.
✅ This is the school where I studied for three years.
六、写作范文片段(适合中考或高一英语作文)
There are many students who work very hard every day, but not all of them get good grades. A student who studies with the right method can often achieve better results than those who just spend time. That’s the reason why we should learn to study wisely.
✔️ 本段运用了4个定语从句,分别修饰 people、students、those 和 reason,句式自然,逻辑清晰。
七、学习建议:
- 练习合并简单句为定语从句;
- 注意逗号使用与关系词搭配;
- 多模仿例句,写出自己的定语从句句式。
