i don’t know the reason why /for which he didn’t come. 47)whose指物时，可以与of which等结构互换，但应注意与冠词的位置关系： this is the book the cover of which / of which the cover / whose cover is blue. 5)有时可用代替关系副词。在口语中常省略。 this is the reason (why / for which / that) he came late. 6)先行词是专有名词、整个句子或世界上独一无二的物质名词时，一般用非限定性定语从句修饰。the sun, which gives us light and heat, is very big. 7)在先行词和定语从句之间有无逗号有时会引起名义的变化： he said nothing that made her angry. 他没说使她生气的话。 he said nothing, which made her angry. 他一言不发，这使她很生气。 2、 定语从句与强调结构 it is the place where they lived before. it is in the place that they lived before. 第一个句子为定语从句，where指代the place，在定语从句中作状语，第二个句子为强调结构，强调in the place, that没有意义，把放回后面句子，句子意思完整。 where is it that he found the lost watch? (强调句型，强调疑问副词where.) where is the watch he found yesterday? (定语从句，that指代the watch.) 3、 定语从句中的先行词 is this book the one that you bought yesterday? is this the book that you bought yesterday? 第一个句子中，this book是主句的主语，the one是先行词。在第二个句子中this是主句的主语，the book是先行词。一定要避免出现：is this book that you bought yesterday? 4、 定语从句与同位语从句 定语从句相当于形容词，它对先行词起修饰、描述或限制作用，而同位语从句则相当于名词，对其前面的词给予说明或作进一步解释，即说明该词所表示的具体内容。比如： the news that we heard is not true. (定语从句) the news that he won the prize is not true. （同位语从句） 另: 在“have no idea ＋从句”结构中，其从句都作idea的同位语。比如： i have no idea when she will be back. task 2: filling in and rewriting. now it is time for you to do the grammar exercises 1 and 2 on page 61. closing up by working out a word puzzle. to relaxed, turn to page 62, and work out the word puzzle as quick as possible. the windowsner will windows a little gift.period 4 let’s read and write!
