定语从句的先行词有什么规律吗?

如题所述

英语中,将在复合句中作定语,修饰主句中的名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。被定语从句所修饰的词叫先行词,放在定语从句之前。

引导定语从句的引导词(也叫关联词)可以是关系代词(that, which, who, whom, whose)或者关系副词(when, where, why)。

引导词通常位于先行词和定语从句之间,它既起联系作用,又充当从句中的某个句子成分。

定语从句的基本结构是:先行词 + 引导词 + 定语从句。

定语从句可分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句两大类别:

1. 限制性定语从句是先行词必不可少的定语,与主句关系十分密切,如果被删去,则主句的意义就1不完整甚至失去意义,书写时主从句之间不可用逗号分开。

2. 非限制性定语从句是对先行词附加的文字说明作用,与主句关系不是很密切,如果被删去,也并不影响逐句的意思和完整性,书写时主从句之间往往用逗号分开。

一、判断定语从句引导词的一般规律:
