一、混淆定語從句與并列句
請看下面兩題:
(1) He has two children, and both of _____ are abroad.
A. them B. which C. whom D. who
(2) He has two children, both of _____ are abroad.
A. them B. which C. whom D. who
【分析】第(1)題選A,第(2)題選C。由于第(1)題中用了并列連詞and,從而使整個句子為并列句,and后應是一個獨立的簡單句,所以選A不選C;第(2)題沒有并列連詞and,both of whom are abroad為非限制性定語從句。
二、混淆定語從句與表語(從句)
請看下面的試題:
(1) Your coat is still _____ you left it.
A. where B. there C. there where D. the place where
【分析】答案選A,where引導的是表語從句(=在…的地方),而不是定語從句。
(2) Is this school _____ your father worked in ten years ago?
A. where B. what C. that D. the one
【分析】答案選D,this school為句子主語,the one 為表語,your father worked in…為定語從句。不要誤認為this是句子主語,否則school前應加冠詞the。比較:
Is this the school _____ your father worked in ten years ago?
A. where B. what C. that D. the one (選C)
Is this the school _____ your father worked ten years ago?
A. where B. what C. that D. the one (選A)
三、混淆定語從句與狀語從句
請看下面的試題:
(1) I went upstairs ______I heard some crying.
A. where B. when C. that D. which
【分析】答案是B而不是A,when的意思是“當…的時候”,引導的是時間狀語從句。(upstairs為副詞,不宜用作先行詞)
(2) He is _____ a clever boy _____ we all like.
A. such, that B. such, as C. so, that D. so, as
【分析】答案應選B,而不是A。such … that …(如此…以致…)用于引導結果狀語從句,其中的that不充當句子成分,而such…as…中的as為關系代詞,用以引導定語從句并在定語從句充當句子成分。上句中第二空之所以選as,是因為它用作動詞like賓語。
四、誤加與關系代詞同義的人稱代詞
誤:He is a man everyone respects him.
正:He is a man everyone respects. 他是一個人人都敬重的人。
