when、where、why引導的定語從句
本文章由春喜在線英語于2017.3.21日編輯發(fā)布
一、基本概念
關系副詞的意思相當于“介詞+which結構”,在定語從句中做狀語的成分。
1.He will always remember the day when/on which his father returned from America.
他將永遠記得父親從美國返回的那一天
拆分后:
He will always remember the day.
His father returned from America on the day..
2.This was the time when/at which she left for Beijing.
這就是她動身去北京的時間。
拆分后
This was the time.
She left for beijing at the time.
3.I don’t know the reason why/for which he didn’t come to the meeting yesterday morning.
我不知道他為什么沒有參加昨天上午的會議。
I don’t know the reason.
He didn’t come to the meeting yesterday morning for the reason.
重要提示:
在when、where、why關系副詞引導的英語定語從句中,只會出現when、where、why或on which、at which、for which等等,絕對不會出現on when、at where、for why這種情況,因為關系副詞引導的定語從句只能起狀語作用,既不能做動詞的賓語,也不能做介詞的賓語。
