Step 3 Grammar

定语从句的概念

用作定语的从句叫做定语从句。定语从句通常置于它所修饰的名词(或代词)之后，这种名词(或代词)叫做先行词。引导定语从句的关联词为关系代词和关系副词。关系代词(who, whom, whose,that,which等)在定语从句中可用作主语、定语、宾语等；关系副词(when,where,why等)在定语从句中只用作状语。

限制性定从基本形式：

noun/pronoun +　 关系代词/关系副词+ 定从

先行词 (人/物)

1. I’ve read all the books (that) you lent me.
2. 　Who is the girl that talked to you yesterday?
