初三英语定语从句讲解及练习题
在复合句中修饰名词和代词的从句叫做定语从句。被定语从句修饰的名词或代词叫做先行词。
引导定语从句的关系代词有who, whose, whom, which, that 。 引导定语从句的关系副词有when, where, why。
关系代词在定语从句中做主语，宾语，定语。关系副词在定语从句中做状语。
一、who引导的定语从句,who在从句中做主语(口语中也可做宾语)，修饰表示人的先行词。
This is the man who helped me.
The boy who//whom we saw yesterday is John’s brother.
二、whom引导的定语从句,whom在从句中作宾语,修饰表示人的先行词，口语中可以省略。
The doctor (whom) you are looking for is in the room. The person (whom) you just talked to is Mr. Li.
=The person to whom you just talked is Mr. Li. (介词后 whom不能省略) The babies whom the nurses are looking after are very healthy.
(固定短语中的介词一般不能拆开，仍放在动词之后。look for / look after /take care of / put on / take off…)
三、whose引导的定语从句,whose在从句中作定语，修饰表示人或物的先行词。
Do you know the woman whose name is Mary. Pass me the dictionary whose cover is black.
He has a friend whose father is a doctor. 四、that引导的定语从句，that在从句中做主语或宾语、修饰表示人或物的先行词。作宾语时可省略,不能放在介词后面作宾语. (that指人时，相当于who或者whom；指物时，相当于which)
The letter (that//which) I received was from my father. I can’t find the letter that//which came this morning.
Do you still remember the days (that//which)we spent together ? This is the man that//who helped me.
The house (that//which) we live in is not large. =The house in which we live is not large.

The building which//that stands near the river is our school.
The room in which there is a machine is a workshop.(介词后面的which不能省略) The house (which/that) we live in is not large. This is the watch (which/that ) he was looking for.
六、that 和which 都可以修饰表示物的先行词, 但是下列情况只能用that. ①. 先行词为不定代词all, few, little, much, everything, nothing, anything等.
All (that) you have to do is to practise every day. There isn’t much (that) I can do. Tell us everything that you know, please. Is there anything that you don’t understand? ②. 先行词被序数词或形容词的最高级所修饰时.

七、由when 引导的定语从句，修饰表示时间的先行词，when为关系副词，做定语从句的时间状语。

I know the reason why he came late. ( for＋which可以代替why) The reason why / for which he was late was that he was ill.
十、关系代词在从句中作主语，谓语动词的数与先行词保持一致。
The student who is good at English studies hard. The students who are good at English study hard.
十一、定语从句可分为两大类，即限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。
① 限制性定语从句是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语，如果去掉的话，主句的意思就不完整，意义就表述不明。这种句型一般定语从句紧接先行词（不用逗号隔开）如：
I was the only person in my office who was invited.
② 非限制性定语从句。它与主句的关系不十分密切，只是对先行词起补充、说明的作用，也就是说即便去掉定语从句，句意也不受影响。主从句之间常用逗号分开，且非限制性定语从句不能用that来引导。
This was the American Civil War, which lasted 4 years before the North won in the end.
