英语语法学习笔记——定语从句(修饰句子)

which修饰句子

which 可以引导非限制性定语从句。关系代词 which(只用 which,不用 that)在非限制性定语从句中所指代和修饰的可以是主句中的先行词名词句中某一部分或整个主句,在从句中作主语、宾语、或表语。which修饰整个句子,常用于非正式场合和口语,作为非限制性定语从句,在which前要加逗号。

  • which 指代句中某一部分

Peter drove too fast.That was dangerous.

Peter drove too fast, which = (drove too fast) was dangerous.

  • which 指代句子整体

Tom was late. That surprised me.

Tom was late,which= (Tom was late) surprised me.

as修饰句子

as也可作为关系代词修饰整个句子,此时用法和which一致。

Tom was late. That surprised me.

Tom was late, as surprised me.

as和which的差别

  • as引导非限制性定语从句时,位置比较灵活,可位于主句之前,也可位于主句之中或之后,而which引导非限制性定语从句只能位于主句之后,不能谓语主句之前。

As is known to everybody,the moon travels round the earth once every month.

Which is known to everybody, the moon travels round the earth once every month.

  • as引导非限制性定语从句常有“如同……那样”的含义,which常用于表达对主句的评论和因果关系

she is very careful,as her work shows.(表达正如...那样)

The elevator is out of order,which is too bad.(表达评论)

  • as引导非限制性定语从句时在意义上不可与主语相悖

Mummy treats me like a baby, which I can't bear.

Mummy treats me like a baby, as I can't bear.

  • which引导非限制性定语从句作从句里面的介词宾语时,介词可以提到which
  • as常用固定搭配(被动与主动形式)

as be said

as be known

as be explained

as be expected

as be imagined

as be shown

as be announced

as be reported

as we know

as we all can see
