一、限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别
限制性定语从句对先行词起修饰限制作用; 非限制性定语从句对先行词起补充说明作用。在非限制性定语从句中, 先行词与定语从句往往由逗号隔开。非限制性定语从句相当于并列分句、状语从句等。
He has two sons, who work in the same company.(He has only two sons.)
他有两个儿子, 他们在同一家公司上班。
He has two sons who work in the same company. (Perhaps he has more than two sons.)
他有两个儿子在同一家公司上班。
He failed in the match, which was a great pity. (非限制性定语从句, 先行词为前面的句子) (=He failed in the match, and it was a great pity.)
他在比赛中失败了, 这真令人遗憾。

He married her, as/which was natural.

注意下面句子的多种表达方法:
众所周知, 月球每月绕地球转一圈。
As is known to everybody, the moon travels round the earth once every month.
The moon travels round the earth once every month, as/which is known to everybody.
It is known to everybody that the moon travels round the earth once every month.

I don't think that he will come to see me, which makes me sad.
我认为他不会来看我了, 这使我伤心。
2)which 一般用作实义动词的主语, 这时它所引导的从句与主句之间存在着逻辑上的因果关系时。

汤姆一次又一次上学迟到, 这使得他的老师很生气。
3)当非限制性定语从句是否定句时。

三、关系副词的用法
(一)当关系词在定语从句中作状语时, 要用关系副词。其中 when = 表时间的介词(如: in, at, on, during 等) + which; where = 表地点的介词(如: in, at, on, under 等) + which; why = 表原因的介词(如: for) + which。

题组训练 单句填空
[21] (2013 江西, 33) He wrote a letter where he explained what had happened in the accident.
[22]Sales director is a position where communication ability is just as important as sales skills.
(二)where/ when = 介词 + 关系代词(which), 有时为表达清楚, 还可以在关系副词where/when 前加介词 from/to 等。
China is the birthplace of kites, from where kite flying spreads to Japan, Korea, Thailand and India.
中国是风筝的发源地吧,从这里放风筝传到了日本、朝鲜、泰国和印度。
(三)关系副词 when, where 可用于非限制性定语从句中, 而关系副词why 不可以。
四、注意way 和time 后接定语从句的情况
1. 当先行词是way(意为“方式, 方法”)时, 引导定语从句的关系词有下列三种形式。
What surprised me was not what he said but the way in which he said it.
What surprised me was not what he said but the way that he said it.
What surprised me was not what he said but the way (不填) he said it.
让我吃惊的不是他说的话, 而是他说话的方式。
注意下面两个句子中关系词的不同, 试比较:
The way that he explained to us was quite simple.
The way which he explained to us was quite simple.
The way (不填) he explained to us was quite simple.
他向我们解释的那种方法很简单。
The way that he explained the sentence to us was not difficult to understand.
The way in which he explained the sentence to us was not difficult to understand.
The way (不填) he explained the sentence to us was not difficult to understand.
他向我们解释句子的那种方式不难理解。
2. 先行词是 time, 若 time 作“次数”讲时, 应用关系代词 that 引导定语从句, that 可省略;若 time 作“ 一段时间” 讲且作状语时, 应用关系副词 when 或介词at/during + which 引导定语从句。
This is the second time (that) the President has visited the country. 这是总统第二次访问这个国家了。
This was at a time when/during which there were no radios, no telephones or no TV sets.
这是在一个没有收音机、没有电话, 也没有电视的时期。

[24]This is the second time that I have been here.
[25]Can you still remember the time that/which we spent together in our childhood?
[26]The first time that he saw her, he fell in love with her.
五、定语从句中关系代词和关系副词的比较
引导定语从句的关系代词和关系副词除了起连接主句和从句的作用外, 它们还有一个最重要的作用, 那就是它们分别在定语从句中作成分。具体地说, 关系代词在定语从句中作主语、宾语、定语或表语, 而关系副词在定语从句中作状语。因此, 在选择关系词时, 最重要的是分析一下定语从句中所缺的成分, 若从句中缺主语、宾语、定语或表语, 那么需用关系代词;若从句中缺状语, 那么需用关系副词。
试比较下面的句子:
(1)Do you still remember the days (that/which) we spent in Qingdao? 你还记得我们在青岛度过的日子吗?
(2)Do you still remember the days when we spent the summer holidays in Qingdao?
你还记得我们在青岛过暑假的日子吗?
在句(1)中, 定语从句中缺宾语, 因此可用关系代词 that/which 来引导从句, 也可省略;
在句(2)中, 定语从句中缺时间状语, 因此需用关系副词when 来引导从句。
题组训练 用that, when, why, where, which 填空
[27]I want to know the date when you were born.
[28]I have forgotten the date that/which you told me.
[29]Do you know the reason why he is absent today?
[30]That is the reason that/which I want to know.
[31] (2013 北京, 27)Many countries are now setting up national parks where animals and plants can be protected.
[32]This is the factory that/which his father built.
