困惑我很久的英语问题,急啊啊啊啊
简单地说,修饰名词这样的词的成分是定语;修饰形容词、副词、动词、介词短语或整个句子的成分是状语。
定语从句错误分析
初学定语从句时,同学们易犯的错误归纳起来有语义重复、主谓不一致及引导词的误用等。 同学们可以先试着找出下列这些句子中的错误并加以改正,然后参阅题后的分析。
1. The woman which was interviewed on CCTV last night was the late US President Nixon’s daughter.
分析 定语从句的引导词有两大类:一类是关系代词,包括that, which, who, whom和whose。 当先行词是指...全部

定语从句错误分析
初学定语从句时,同学们易犯的错误归纳起来有语义重复、主谓不一致及引导词的误用等。
同学们可以先试着找出下列这些句子中的错误并加以改正,然后参阅题后的分析。
1. The woman which was interviewed on CCTV last night was the late US President Nixon’s daughter.
分析 定语从句的引导词有两大类:一类是关系代词,包括that, which, who, whom和whose。
当先行词是指人的名词或代词时,要用who, whom或whose来引导定语从句,并且,它们分别在从句中作主语、宾语、表语或定语;当先行词是指事物的名词或代词时,要用which来引导定语从句;而that既可以指人,又可以指物。
另一类是关系副词,常用的有where(表地点),when(表时间)及why(表原因)。本例中的先行词指人,所以应把which改成who或that。
2. The main topic people are often talking about it at present is the construction of the Yangtze Three Gorges Dam.
分析 the main topic是先行词,people are ... about it at present是定语从句,其中关系代词that或which在句中作介词about的宾语,被省略了。
所以it是重复的成分,应该去掉。初学者很容易犯语意重复的错误,应当十分注意。
3. God bless this ship and all that sails in her!
分析 当关系代词在定语从句中作主语时,从句的谓语动词应与先行词的数保持一致。
本例先行词是一个表复数概念的代词all,所以定语从句的谓语动词sails应该用复数,即sail。句意是:上帝保佑这条船和所有乘船的人吧!关于主谓一致,有一个特例值得注意。见第4例。
4. Franklin D. Roosevelt was the only one of the US presidents that were in office for 4 terms.
分析 当先行词是“the only one of the+复数名词”时,定语从句的谓语动词要与one保持一致,用单数当先行词是“one of the +复数名词”时,定语从句的谓语动词要与复数名词保持一致,用复数。
例如:
The Great Wall is one of the man-made constructions that have been seen from space.
5. The speed at that the rocket can escape from the earth is 11.2 kilometres per second.
分析 当介词提前时,不能用关系代词that或who引导定语从句,而应该用which或whom。
这儿的先行词speed是表事物的名词,所以应该把that改成which,而且不能省略(因为直接在介词后)。句意是:火箭的逃逸速度是每秒11.2公里。
6. This is a new type of airplane, which parts are all made at home.
分析 不管先行词是指人还是物,关系代词在从句中作定语时,都必须用whose;但是指物时,还可以用“the +名词+of which”的形式表示。
故本例可改成:This is a new type of airplane, whose parts are all made at home.或者This is a new type of airplane, the parts of which are all made at home.
7. Anything which exists in the universe has its two sides.
分析 当先行词是表事物的不定代词,如all,everything,anything...时,关系代词要用that,而不用which,故本句要把关系代词which 改为that。
8. Whatever Saddam did couldn’t change US mind to attack Iraq, that we had expected.
分析 that 不能用来引导非限定性定语从句。
本定语从句的先行词是一个先行句,即前面整个句子,所以本从句中的关系代词that必须改为which。当然也可以用when, where, who(m)等引导非限定性定语从句,而且不可省略,whom也不能用who代替。
例如:
Mr Robert, whom I’ll invite to my new house, is a famous lawyer of our city.
9. Recently I have been reading a good book, it was about the relationship between man and nature.
分析 该句中前后两句之间为逗号,且无连接词,故后一句应是一个非限定性定语从句,修饰先行词book,所以it应改为which。
