限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句用法区别:
一、 句法功能、表现形式不同
定语从句分为限制性和非限制性两种。限制性定语从句不可缺少先行词,去掉它主句意思往往就不明确了,它与主句之间通常不用逗号分开;非限制性定语从句是对先行词的附加说明,去掉它也不会影响主句的意思。如:
Do you know the professor who is speaking at the meeting? (限制性定语从句)English is an important subject,which every student should study well. (非限制性定语从句)
二、 先行词不尽相同。限制性定语从句的先行词往往是某一个词,但非限制性定语从句的先行词可以是一个词,也可以是句子的一部分,甚至是整个主句,此时非限制性定语从句一般由which或as引导,as引导非限制性定语从句常用在as is said / known / expected / mentioned / reported / announced等结构中。如:
He has passed the college entrance examination,which makes his parents quite happy.
As is known to everybody,the moon travels round the earth once every month.
三、 关系词的使用情况有所不同
1. that 不可引导非限制性定语从句。如:
Her father gave her a computer for her birthday,which pleased her a lot.
2. why 不用在非限制性定语从句中,需用for which代替。如:
I told them the reason,for which Ididn'tattend the party last week.
3. 关系代词替代情况不同关系代词 whom 在限制性定语从句中作宾语时可用 who 代替 whom,但 whom 在非限制性定语从句中作宾语时不可用 who代替。如:
This is the girl whom (who) I have been in love with for six years.
The young man had a new girl friend,whom he wanted to show all his love for.
4. 关系代词省略情况不同
关系代词在限制性定语从句中作宾语时可以省略;非限制性定语从句的所有关系代词均不可省略。如:
She is the new student (whom / who / that) I want to introduce to you.
All the books there,which have beautiful pictures in them,were written by him.
四、 下列情形用非限制性定语从句
1. 当“不定数量词 (如some,several) / 数词 + of which / whom”表示“整体 (which / whom)中的一部分”的概念时。如:We saw many animals in the zoo,some of which are tigers.There are fifteen new players in our team,two of whom come from Canada.
2. 当先行词为专有名词或被物主代词和指示代词修饰时,其后的定语从句通常是非限制性的。如:
My house,which I bought last year,has got a lovely garden.Qingdao,where I have been three times,is an attractive city to foreigners.
