代词用法:关系代词that与which

在英语中,关系代词“that”和“which”都可以引导定语从句,但它们的用法有一些区别。以下是它们的用法及例题和例句:

一、that的用法

  1. 引导限制性定语从句
    • 修饰人或物:that可以指代人或物,在从句中作主语、宾语或表语。
    • 例句:The book that I bought yesterday is very interesting.(我昨天买的那本书非常有趣。)
    • 例句:The man that is standing over there is my teacher.(站在那边的那个人是我的老师。)
  2. 用于某些特殊结构
    • 在“the same...that...”“such...that...”“so...that...”等结构中,that引导定语从句。
    • 例句:This is the same pen that I lost last week.(这就是我上周丢的那支笔。)
    • 例句:He is such a clever boy that everyone likes him.(他是一个如此聪明的男孩,大家都喜欢他。)

二、which的用法

  1. 引导限制性定语从句
    • 修饰物:which只能指代物,在从句中作主语、宾语或表语。
    • 例句:The house which has a big garden is very expensive.(有大花园的那座房子非常贵。)
    • 例句:The computer which I bought last year doesn't work now.(我去年买的那台电脑现在不能用了。)
  2. 引导非限制性定语从句
    • which引导的非限制性定语从句通常用逗号隔开,对句子进行补充说明。
    • 例句:The book, which is written by a famous author, is very popular.(这本书,是一位著名作家写的,非常受欢迎。)
    • 例句:The city, which is famous for its beautiful scenery, attracts many tourists.(这座城市,以美丽的风景而闻名,吸引了许多游客。)

三、that与which的区别

  1. 指代范围
    • that可以指代人或物,而which只能指代物。
  2. 在从句中的位置
    • that在从句中可以作主语、宾语或表语;which在从句中可以作主语、宾语或表语。
  3. 在某些情况下的用法差异
    • 在“the same...that...”“such...that...”“so...that...”等结构中,通常用that。
    • 当先行词被序数词、最高级、不定代词(如all、much、little、none等)修饰,或先行词是人和物时,通常用that。
    • 当先行词是物,且在定语从句中作主语或宾语时,that和which可以互换,但在非限制性定语从句中,通常用which。
