定语从句像一条"小尾巴",跟在名词后面修饰它,说明"哪一个/什么样的"。
◆ 引导词的选择
· 先行词是人:who / that
The girl who is singing is my classmate.(正在唱歌的那个女孩是我同学。)
· 先行词是物:which / that
I like books which/that have interesting stories.
· 关系词在从句中作宾语时可省略:
The film (that) we watched yesterday was moving.
◆ 只能用 that 的情况(常考)
· 先行词是 everything, nothing, something, all 等不定代词
· 先行词被序数词或最高级修饰:the first..., the best...
This is the most interesting book that I have ever read.
◆ 主谓一致
从句动词与"先行词"保持一致:
· I have a friend who likes drawing.(先行词 a friend 单数 → likes)
· I have many friends who like drawing.(先行词 friends 复数 → like)
