<語法分析>
大多數(shù)定語從句對所修飾詞的意思加以限制,成為限制性定語從句。這種從句通常緊接先行詞,在書面語中其間通常沒有逗號。從功能上看,限制性定語從句對作為先行項的意義不明確的人或物加以限制或識別,如果去掉該從句,便不能確切表達(dá)先行項所指的意義。這類從句多由關(guān)系代詞或關(guān)系副詞來引導(dǎo)。
<觸類旁通>
(1)Have you got the postcard(which) I sent you?
你收到我寄給你的明信片了嗎?
語法分析:在限制性定語從句中,當(dāng)關(guān)系代詞在從句中作賓語時,在絕大多數(shù)情況下可以省略,尤其在口語中
(2)Come any time you like.
你隨便什么時候來都行。
語法分析:有些表示時間的定語從句并不由when引導(dǎo),特別是在某些句型中。
(3)That's the way I look at it.
這就是我對這事情的看法。
語法分析:在way后也可以跟一個定語從句,不需要關(guān)系代詞或副詞。
(4)Anything I can do for you?
我能為你做點什么?
語法分析:在被修飾的詞為all或everything時,作賓語的關(guān)系代詞可以省略。
(5)That's the place we met last year.
