【关于定语从句中只用that的七种情况】在英语学习中,定语从句是一个非常重要的语法点,而“that”作为关系代词在定语从句中的使用有其特定规则。虽然“which”和“who/whom”在很多情况下也可以用于引导定语从句,但在某些特定情况下,只能使用“that”。本文将总结出定语从句中只用that的七种常见情况,帮助学习者更准确地掌握这一知识点。
一、定语从句中先行词是不定代词时
当先行词是“all, everything, anything, nothing, something, little, much”等不定代词时,通常只能用“that”。
| 先行词 | 关系词 | 例句 |
| everything | that | I told you everything that happened. |
| nothing | that | There is nothing that can stop us now. |
二、先行词被最高级或序数词修饰时
如果先行词被“the best, the first, the last, the only”等修饰,必须用“that”。
| 先行词 | 关系词 | 例句 |
| the only thing | that | This is the only thing that I need. |
| the first time | that | It was the first time that I had seen her. |
三、先行词是“the one”或“the same”时
当先行词为“the one”或“the same”时,必须使用“that”。
| 先行词 | 关系词 | 例句 |
| the one | that | He is the one that we are waiting for. |
| the same | that | This is the same book that I read last week. |
四、先行词指人又指物时
当先行词既指人又指物时,只能使用“that”。
| 先行词 | 关系词 | 例句 |
| the man and the dog | that | The man and the dog that were in the park were lost. |
五、关系代词在从句中作宾语时(非正式语体)
在口语或非正式语体中,当“that”在从句中作宾语时,可以省略,但若不省略,则只能用“that”。
| 先行词 | 关系词 | 例句 |
| the book | that | I read the book that you gave me. |
六、当从句中已有疑问词时
如果定语从句中已经包含“what, when, where, why, how”等疑问词,那么“that”是唯一可选的关系词。
| 先行词 | 关系词 | 例句 |
| the reason | that | That’s the reason that he left. |
| the time | that | I remember the time that we met. |
七、在强调句型中
在强调句型中,无论先行词是人还是物,都必须使用“that”。
| 先行词 | 关系词 | 例句 |
| my father | that | It is my father that I admire most. |
| the house | that | It is the house that we bought last year. |
总结表格
| 情况 | 先行词类型 | 关系词 | 说明 |
