①倒装(定语从句发生倒装)

山顶有座庙,庙里住着个老和尚。

On the top of the mountain stands a temple, in which lives an old monk.

(in which是表地点的介词短语,放于句首引起完全倒装)

汉语语序跟英语是不是完全一样?英语跟汉语的语法有很多相通之处。


②插入(定语从句中加入插入语)

He helped me though he was busy, which I think was very moving.

尽管他很忙他帮了我,我认为这是很令人感动的。

(I think为插入语,插在从句的主谓之间)


③省略(定语从句省略关系词)

I don’t like the gift (that/which) he gave me.

我不喜欢他给我的礼物。(关系代词作宾语可省略)


④数量(表示数量关系的定语从句)

I have read many books, most of which are novels.

我读了很多书,其中大多数是小说。

There are 60 students in our class, most of whom are girls.

在我们班有60名学生,其中大多数是女生。

(基数词,序数词,分数,百分数,不定代词,形容词的比较级或最高级都可以构成类似数量关系)


⑤原因(高分句式:The reason why…is that…)

The reason why he was late was that he missed the early bus.

他迟到的原因是他错过了早班车。

( why he was late是定语从句;that he missed the early bus是表语从句).


⑥主谓(注意定语从句中的主谓一致)

He is one of the students who were praised by the teacher.

他是被老师表扬的学生之一。(很多学生被表扬,用were)

He is the only/very one of the students who was praised by the teacher.

他是唯一一个背老师表扬的学生。(只有他一个被表扬,用was)
