<語(yǔ)法分析>
在由when,where,why和how等詞引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句時(shí),它們分別指前面先行詞所表示的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、原因和
方式,否則引導(dǎo)的就不是定語(yǔ)從句。定語(yǔ)從句主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)的一致性決定于先行詞的數(shù),關(guān)系代詞如指前面
的整個(gè)句子時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。定語(yǔ)從句可轉(zhuǎn)化為分詞短語(yǔ),如果因?yàn)闀r(shí)態(tài)的限制或含有情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的時(shí)
候,則不可以轉(zhuǎn)換。
