WHOSE也可以引导定语从句,它相当于前面说的关系代词的所有格形式。
例:She has an uncle . His name is Peter.
=She has an uncle whose name is Peter.
I like that house . Its location is good to me.
=I like that house whose location is good to me.
"WHOSE"引导定语从句的三原则:
a. whose 前要有先行词
b. whose 后的名词要做定语从句的主语或宾语
c. 否则whose前应有介词,且该介词也可移至定语从句的.句尾
以上可知whose引导定语从句的用法和其他关系代词的用法相似。
例:I hate John,whose words are seldom true.(本句中,whose words 前有先行词John,且本身做定语从句的主语)
I hate John,whose words I have no trust.(错) (本句虽有先行词,但whose words 无法直接做trust的宾语,所以要稍加改正)
改正:I hate John,whose words I seldom trust in.(对)
附一:关系代词引导的定语从句
关系代词所代替的先行词是人或物的名词或代词,并在句中充当主语、宾语、定语等成分。关系代词在定语从句中作主语时,从句谓语动词的人称和数要和先行词保持一致。
1、who指人,在从句中做主语
The boys who are playing football are from Class One.
2、whom指人,在定语从句中充当宾语,常可省略。
Mr. Liu is the person (whom)you talked about on the bus.
【注意】关系代词whom在口语和非正式语体中常用who代替,可省略。
The man who/whom you met just now is my friend.
3、which指物,在定语从句中做主语或者宾语,做宾语时可省略
Football is a game which is liked by most boys.
4、that指人时,相当于who或者whom;指物时,相当于which。在定语从句中做主语或者宾语,做宾语时可省略。
The number of the people that/who come to visit the city each year rises one million.
5、whose通常指人,也可指物,在定语从句中做定语
He has a friend whose father is a doctor.
whose指物时,常用以下结构来代替:
The classroom whose door is broken will soon be repaired.
=The classroom of which the door is broken will soon be repaired.
Do you like the book whose cover is yellow?
=Do you like the book the color of which is yellow?
(注意:the + 名词 + of which/whom常考!)
附二:介词+关系代词whom/which引导的定语从句(重点)
关系代词在定语从句中做介词宾语时,从句常由介词+关系代词引导:
The school (that/which) he once studied in is very famous.
=The school in which he once studied is very famous.
【注意】
1、含有介词的动词短语一般不拆开使用,如:look for, look after, take care of等
(1)This is the watch which/that I am lookingfor.(T)
(2)This is the watch for which I amlooking. (F)
2、若介词放在关系代词前,关系代词指人时用whom,不可用who或者that;指物时用which,不能用that;关系代词是所有格时用whose
(1)The man with whom you talked is my friend.(T)
(2)The man who/that you talked with is my friend.(F)
3、“介词+关系代词”前可有some, any, none, both, all, neither, most,each, few等代词或者数词,构成some of which/whom等类似结构引导的定语从句。(重点:常考!)
(1)He loved his parents deeply, of whom both are very kind to him.
(2)In the basket there are quite many apples, some of which have gone bad.
(3)There are forty students in our class in all, most of whom are from big cities.
在特定语境中,可以用“介词+ whose/where”引导定语从句
The boss in whose department Ms King once worked is a kind man.
whose在从句中作定语,后面必须有名词;who作主语或宾语.
The book (whose cover is blue) is mine.封皮是蓝色的那本书是我的.
The man who is in white is my father.穿白色衣服的那个人是我爸爸.(主语)
The man who/whom you talked to just now is my father.刚才跟你说话的那个人时我爸爸.(宾语)
The man to whom you talked just now is my father.(句中whom不可用who,两个都可做宾语,但前面有介词时不能用who,只能用whom.)
