【語法點評］ 定語從句常見錯誤例析
定語從句是中學英語中較難掌握的從句之一，其規則繁雜，難以記憶，因而同學們在運用過程中常出現錯誤�，F歸類分析如下： 一、關系代詞錯用 A) that和 which
1. 誤 : I' ve read all the books which you lent me. 正 : I' ve read all the books that you lent me.
析：定語從句的先行詞被all，some，any，no，little，few，much，very等修飾時，關系代詞要用 that。
2.誤: This is the last lesson which Mr Green taught us.正 : This is the last lesson that Mr Green taught us.
析：定語從句的先行詞被序數詞或形容詞最高級修飾時，關系代詞要用that。
3. 誤: Is there anything else which I can do for you?正： Is there anything else that I can do for you?
析：定語從句的先行詞是everything，anything，nothing等不定代詞時，關系代詞要that.
4. 誤: They talked about the persons and things which they remembered in the old days.
正 : They talked about the persons and things that they remembered in the old days.
析：定語從句的先行詞既有人又有物時，關系代詞要用that。
5. 誤 : My hometown is no longer the place which it used to be. 正: My hometown is no longer the place that it used to be.
析：定語從句中，關系代詞充當從句的表語時，該關系代詞要用that。
6. 誤; Dinner starts with a small dish, that is often called a starter.正 : Dinner starts with a small dish, which is often called a starter.
析：關系代詞that不能用于非限制性定語從句，但which可以。
7. 誤: He lives in the room, the window of that faces the south.正 : He lives in the room, the window of which faces the south.
析：關系代詞that不能用于“介詞十關系代詞”結構，但which可以。
B) who 和 whom
8. 誤 : The man with who I worked has left.正: The man with whom I worked has left.
析：關系代詞 who指人，作主語； whom也指人，但作賓語。在“介詞十關系代詞”結構中，先行詞是人，關系詞用whom；先行詞是物，關系詞用which
二、關系代詞漏用
9. 誤: The student is standing there is our monitor.
正: The student who/that is standing there is our monitor.正 : The student standing there is our monitor.
f 析：定語從句中關系代詞作主語時不能省略。這里也可以把定語從句改為現在分詞形式作定語。
三、關系代詞與關系副詞混淆
A) that/which 和 when
10. 誤: Do you still remember the day when we first spent together?
正 : Do you still remember the day (that/which) we first spent together?
析：先行詞是時間名詞時，定語從句的引導詞用關系代詞還是關系副詞“when”，取決于該先行詞在從句中充當主語l賓語還是時間狀語。這里先行詞the day在從句中作賓語，關系代詞可省略。
B) that/which 和 where
11. 誤 : I' ll never forget the school where we visited last Monday.
正 : I' ll never forget the school (that/which) we visited last Monday.
析：先行詞是地點名詞時，定語從句的引導詞用關系代詞還是關系副詞“where”，取決于該先行詞在從句中充當主語l賓語還是地點狀語。這里先行詞 the school在從句中作賓語，關系代詞可省略。
C) that/which 和 why
12.誤 :Is this the reason why he gives for being late?正: Is this the reason (that/which) he gives for being late?
析：先行詞是reason時，定語從句的引導詞用關系代詞還是關系副詞“why”，取決于該先行詞在從句中充當主語/賓語還是原因狀語。這里先行詞 the reason在從句中作賓語，關系代詞可省略。
四、定語從句主謂不一致
13 誤 : This is one of the rooms that is free now.正 : This is one of the rooms that are free now.
析：當定語從句的先行詞是one of…結構時，先行詞為of后的復數名詞或代詞，從句謂語用復數形式。
14.誤: Professor Johnson is the only one of the experts who know a little Chinese.
正: Professor Johnson is the only one of the experts who knows a little Chinese.
析：當定語從句的先行詞是the （only／very） one of…結構時，先行詞為 one，從句謂語用單數形式。
五、定語從句重復用詞
A）關系詞與疑問詞重復
15. 誤: Who is the man who shook hands with you just now?正 : Who is the man that shook hands with you just now?
析：若主句以疑問詞who開頭，為了避免重復，定語從句的引導詞要用that代替。
16.誤: Which is the book which you want to borrow from me?正: Which is the book that you want to borrow from me?
析：若主句以疑問詞which開頭，為了避免重復，定語從句的引導詞要用that代替。
B）關系詞與被替換詞重復
17. 誤: This is the jacket which I bought it last month.正 ; This is the jacket which I bought last month.
析：關系代詞Which已經在從句中充當賓語，it是多余的。
18. 誤: Is this the museum where Jane has worked there for twenty years?
正: Is this the museum where Jane has worked for twenty years?
析：關系副詞where已經在從句中充當地點狀語，there是多余的。
六、定語從句介詞錯用
19.誤. :Is this the CD player in which you spent 500 yuan?正 : Is this the CD player on which you spent 500 yuan ?
析：有時，需要根據從句謂語動詞的習慣搭配來判斷具體的介詞。這里是 spent...on+名詞”的搭配。
20. 誤 : The baby of whom she takes good care is ten months old.正 : The baby whom she takes good care of is ten months old.
析：含有介詞的短語動詞一般不能拆開使用。又如 look after， care for， refer to等。
