复合句(Complex Sentence)分为并列复合句和从属复合句,并列复合句是有并列连词:and、or、but连接;从属复合句由一个主句(Principal Clause)和一个或一个以上的从句(Subordinate Clause)构成。 1、学生最容易混淆的是定语从句与同位语从句的区别。 例如:A、The news that our team has won the match is true. (同位语从句) B、The news that he told us surprised everybody here. (定语从句) 关键的区别在于连接或关系代词that:有意义的是定语, 无意义的是同位。因为引导定语从句的that在从句中作主语或 宾语,而引导同位语从句的that只起到连接词的作用。 2、接着容易混淆的是引导定语从句的关系代词that与 which:that之前是不定(代词)、序数(词)、(形容词)最高级:which之前是介词短语与逗号(非限制性)。 例如:A、All that we have to do is to practise every day. B、The first lesson that I learned will never be forgotten. C、I have lost my pen,which I like very much. D、The house in front of which there is a garden is my home. |
