先行词是the only/very one of＋复数名词时，从句谓语用单数。

3． 关系词与被替换词重复

4． 介词的误用

【误】 The computer to which I paid 4,000 yuan is made in Shanghai. 【正】 The computer for which I paid 4,000 yuan is made in Shanghai. 【解析】 介词的选用既要考虑先行词，又要考虑定语从句中动词或形容词与介词的搭【误】 This is the jacket which I bought it last month. 【正】 This is the jacket which I bought last month. 【解析】 which在从句中作宾语，it多余。

配习惯。此处pay…for sth.为固定短语，意为“花钱买……”。

5． from where与from which混用

【误】 They stood on the top of the building, from which they could see the whole

city.

【正】 They stood on the top of the building, from where they could see the

whole city.

【解析】 from where＝from the top of the building，from which＝from the

building，显然前者比较合适。

6． 忽视倒装结构

【误】 The fisherman lives in an old house, in front of which a well lies. 【正】 The fisherman lives in an old house, in front of which lies a well.

【解析】 in front of…放在定语从句句首，且从句中含有动词lie, stand等，主语为名

词，这时要采用倒装结构，把lie, stand等放在作主语的名词前。

7． 限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句误用

(1) 【误】 Charles Smith, that was my former teacher, retired last year.

【正】 Charles Smith, who was my former teacher, retired last year. 【解析】 在非限制性定语从句中，当先行词指人时，关系代词用who, whom。

(2) 【误】 This novel, I have read three times, is very touching.

(3) 【误】 I had told them the reason, why I didn't attend the meeting.

【正】 I had told them the reason, for which I didn't attend the meeting. 【解析】 that, why通常不用于引导非限制性定语从句。

【正】 This novel, which I have read three times, is very touching. 【解析】 在非限制性定语从句中，关系词不能省略。

(4) 正如所通知的那样，我们下个月要举行期末考试。

【误】 It has been announced，we shall have our final exams next month. 【误】 Which has been announced, we shall have our final exams next month. 【正】 It has been announced that we shall have our final exams next month. 【正】 As has been announced, we shall have our final exams next month. 【解析】 as has been announced引导一个定语从句，放在句首，不能使用which；

(5) 我看过《金婚》这部电影，它的男主角是张国立。

【误】 I have seen the film Golden Anniversary，its leading actor is Zhang Guoli. 【正】 I have seen the film Golden Anniversary，whose leading actor is Zhang

Guoli.

【正】 I have seen the film Golden Anniversary, its leading actor Zhang Guoli. 【解析】 在定语从句中，whose既可指人，也可指物，往往放在从句中的某一名词前

作定语；该句也可改为独立主格形式。

8．定语从句的分隔

Later in this chapter cases will be introduced to readers ________ consumer

complaints have resulted in changes in the law.

A．where B．when C．who D．which 【误】 由于不能正确判断哪个是先行词而误选C。 【正】 cases是先行词，正确答案是A。

【解析】 cases在定语从句中作状语，构成in the cases，主句是cases will be

introduced to readers，所以用where引导定语从句。在定语从句中有时会出现先行词与定语从句分隔的现象。要注意准确辨认。

1． It is in this village，________Mary was born 35 years ago，________she will build her first school，________inspires everyone to help her.

A．that; when; which B．where; that; which C．that; that; that D．where; when; that

【解析】 B 考查句子结构分析。第一空引导的是一个定语从句，在从句中作地点状

学 海 无 涯

语，所以用where，第二空构成it is…that强调结构，第三空引导一个非限制性定语从句，指代前面提到的一件事情，所以要用which。

2． [2010·江西卷] The girl arranged to have piano lessons at the training centre with her sister ________ she would stay for an hour.

3． [2010·重庆卷] In China，the number of cities is increasing ________ development is recognized across the world.

A．where C．whose

B．which D．that

A．where B．who C．which D．what

【解析】 A 考查定语从句。关系副词where引导的定语从句，在从句中作状语。

【解析】 C 考查定语从句关系词。这里是一个分割定语从句，先行词cities和定语

从句被谓语is increasing分隔开，表示“城市的发展”，故应用whose作定语。

4． [2009·江西卷] The house I grew up________ has been taken down and replaced by an office building.

A．in it B．in C．in that D．in which

【解析】 B 考查定语从句。还原后应为The house (which/that) I grew up in… 主

语后面紧跟的是定语从句。

5． TV-Turnoff Week，________millions of people around the world participate every year, tries to encourage people to turn on life.

A．in which B．on which C．which D．when
