下面看看各个关系词的用法:
1.指人的关系代词:who, whom, whose, that 的用法:
（1）作主语（who, that ）
Those who are going to play in the match are to meet at the gate at 1:30 after lunch.
那些参加比赛的人午饭后1:30在大门口集合。
在本句中，先行词是those；关系代词who引导定语从句，同时代替先行词在从句中担任动词are going to play 的主语。
The man who/that is talking with Mr. Wang is a famous doctor.
正在和王先生说话的那个人是一个有名的医生。
在本句中，先行词是the man;关系代词who/that引导定语从句，同时代替先行词在从句中担任动词is talking的主语。
这个复合句可以还原成两个句子:
The man is a famous doctor. He is talking with Mr. Wang.
（2）作宾语包括作介词宾语（whom, that ）。此种情况下的关系代词可以省略；
This is just the man(whom/that) I want for the job.这正是我要的做这份工作的人。
在本句中，先行词是the man；关系代词whom/that 引导定语从句，同时代替先行词在从句中担任动词want 的宾语。
Is he the manager (whom/that) you are looking for?
他是你在找的那位经理吗？
（3）当关系代词紧跟介词作介词宾语时，不能用that，也不能省略，
如:The book from which I got a lot of useful information was written by a famous scientist.
我从中得到许多有用信息的那本书是一位著名科学家写的。
Who is the boy with whom you were talking a moment ago.
你刚才和他说话的那个男孩是谁？
I know the young couple from whose house the music is coming.
但是当介词放在从句末尾时，作为介词宾语的关系代词可以用that 并且可以省略。
如上头两句可改为:
The book (that /which) I got a lot of information from was written by a famous scientist.
Who is the boy (that/whom) you were talking with a moment ago?
2.指物的关系代词which和that的用法:
（1）作主语
This is the instruction manual which/that tells you how to operate the computer.
这是那本教你如何操作计算机的说明手册。
（2）作宾语包括作介词宾馆。此种情况下的关系代词可以省略:
The chair (which /that) you broke yesterday is now being repaired.
你昨天弄坏的那把椅子现在正在修理。
The film (which/that) I saw last night was about a soldier who fought in WWII.
我昨天晚上看的那部电影是关于一个在二战中打过仗的士兵的。
（本句有两个定语从句。）
This is the bike for which I paid $ 100.
这就是我花了100美元买的那辆自行车。
The car(which/that)he went in was a black Cadillac.
他坐在里面走了的那辆汽车是一辆黑色的卡迪拉克。
The accounts of the company, (which/that) I’ve been paying great attention to, are in balance.
我一直非常注意的公司账目，是保持平衡的。
3.whose 和of which 指代人或事物，作定语。of which 可用whose 代替；
The car whose lights (of which the lights/the lights of which) were all broken was my father’s.
那辆所有的灯都破了的汽车是我父亲的。
例:His house of which the windows (the windows of which /whose windows) were all broken was a depressing sight.
他那所有窗户都坏了的房子真是目不忍睹。
That is the book whose cover (of which the cover/the cover of which ) was broken.
这就是那本封皮破了的书。
4.关系代词的格应与它在从句中充当的成分一致。特别要注意插入语，
如eter is the one who everybody believes will fail to bring off the contract. Peter 是那个人人都认为不能完成合同的人。（everybody believes 是插入语）
At the election I voted for the man whom I believed to be the most suitable.
在选举的时候我投了我认为最合适的那个人的票。
5.关系代词作从句的主语时，从句的动词必须和先行词的人称和数一致:
例:These are the operating instructions that/which are written in English 。
这就是用英文写成的使用说明。
Are you staying at the white house which/that is newly completed and which /that has 15 bedrooms, 3 kitchens and 4 toilets?
你是住在那幢刚刚竣工、有15个卧室、3个病房和4个卫生间的白色房子里吗？
So far as I know, there are many VIPs who are going to attend the reception.
就我所知有很多达官贵人将出席这个招待会。
6.非限定性定语从句不用that，只用who（whose, whom）和which代表人和物；
例:Her brothers, both of whom work in America, ring her up every week。
她的兄弟们？？两个人都在美国工作？？每个星期都给她打电话。
The buses, most of which were already full, were surrounded by an angry crowd，
那些公共汽车？？大多已经坐满了人？？被一群愤怒的人围着。

那个塔楼空着已经5年了。建它花了500万美元。
Cricket, which I know very little about, is a very popular sport in England。
板球是英格兰非常流行的体育活动，我对它知之甚少。
The accounts of the company ,which I’ve been paying great attention to, are in balance.
公司的账目是保持平衡的。我一直非常注意这些账目。
7.关系副词（=介词+关系代词）:
关系副词 先行词 在从句中的作用 说明
when(=at / on / in / during which) 时间名词 时间状语 非正式文体中，有时用that代替关系副词
where(=in / at which) 地点名词 地点状语
why=(for which) 只有reason 原因状语
例:I shall never forget the day when (=on which) we first met.
我永远也不会忘记我们第一次见面的那一天。
The rain came at a time when (=at which) it was not needed.
雨下得不是时候。
This is the computer where (=by/on which) he has stolen top-secret documents.
这就是他用来盗窃绝密文件的计算机。
Here is the place where (=at which) the murder took place.
这就是谋杀发生的地方。
He didn’t give any reason why (=for which) I had been fired.
他没给任何解雇我的理由
This is the house in which (=where) my parents used to live.
这就是我父母以前住过的房子。
注意事项:
（1）在非正式场合， that有时可用来代替关系副词或相当于关系副词的“介词+which”，而且经常全部省略，
如:In all the years that (=when/during which) I was at collage
在我读大学的那些年里
the reason that(=why/for which)he is not happy
他不高兴的理由
The direction(that)(=in which )the heavenly bodies move can’t be changed.
天体运行的方向是不可改变的。
He is unpopular because people don’t like the offensive way (that)(=in which) he talks.
他不受欢迎的原因是他说话的方式让人讨厌。
（2）是用关系代词还是用关系副词:
关系词（包括关系代词和关系副词）是学习英语定语从句的关键。用关系代词还是用关系副词，一要看关系词在从句当中作什么成分；二要看关系词所代表的是人、物、时间、地点还是原因；三要看所引导的是限定性定语从句还是非限定性定语从句。所以同样的先行词会有不同的关系词，这是因为关系词在从句当中担当的作用不同而决定的。
如:This is the room where/in which we’ll celebrate the New Year.
这是我们将要在里面庆贺新年的房间。（充当地点状语）
This is the room(that /which)we’ll celebrate the New Year in.
这是我们将要在里面庆贺新年的房间。（充当介词宾语，可省略。）
This is the room which /that will be used for the celebration of the New Year.
这是那个将要被用来庆贺新年的房间。（充当主语）

这是我们将要用来举行新年晚宴的房间。（充当宾语，可省略。）
The reason (that /which) he had given was not sound enough.
他给的理由不够充分。（充当宾语，可省略）
The reason why/for which he had done that was not sound enough.
他做那件事的理由不够充分。（充当原因状语）
This is the house where she lives.这是她住的房子。
【比较:This is the house (that/which) she has bought. 这是她买的房子。This is the house that/which I’ve told you is extremely expensive.这就是我和你说过极其昂贵的那幢房子。】
I met him in the year when I was first in Xi’an.
我刚到西安的那年遇到了他。
That is the reason why he did not come that morning.
那就是那天上午他没来的原因。
（3）定语从句中的时态。如果主句是一般将来时或过去将来时，从句的动作与主句的同时发生，那么该从句要用一般现在时表示一般将来时、用一般过去时表示过去将来时。
例:Anyone who/that touches the wire will get an electric shock.
任何碰这根电线的人将受到电击。（不用will touch）
I would give her anything that she asked for.
她要什么我就给她什么。（不用would ask）
The first person who/that opens the door will get a shock.
第一个开门的人将被吓一跳。（不用will open）
There will be a special price for anybody who orders a suit in the next two weeks.
任何人在下两周内定做套装都将享受优惠价格。（不用will order）
但是，如果从句和主句的动作在将来不同的时间发生，则两部分都要用来将来时，
如:Those who will go abroad for training next year will start learning English tomorrow.
那些明年出国受训的人员，将从明天开始学习外语。
注:1先行词有最高级形容词修饰时，常用that，而不用which:
例:Edison was one of the greatest inventors that ever lived.
爱迪生是曾经有过的最伟大的发明家之一。
This is the best film that I’ve ever seen.
这是我曾经看过的最好的电影。
She was the greatest woman that/who has ever lived.
她是曾经有过的最伟大的女人。
2先行词有the same, the very, the first, the last, all, no, the only, much, little, none, any, every等时，常用that, 而不用which:
例:He was the first man that we saw in the village.
他是我们在那个村子里看到的第一个人。
There is little that is interesting.
没什么令人感兴趣。
I still remember the first time that we met.
我仍然记得我们第一次见面的时候。

God bless this ship and all who sail in her.
愿上帝保佑此船和所有乘此船航行的人。
All that I can say is thank you very much.
我能说的是（千言万语变成一句话）:非常感谢你。
3当先行词既有人又有物时，用that，不用which，
如:We were deeply impressed by the workers and their working conditions that we had visited.
我们参观过的工人及他们的工作条件留下了深刻印象。
We listened to him talk about the men and books that interested him。
我们听他谈论他感兴趣的人物和书籍。
④在same和such之后，定语从句用as引导，
如:Let’s discuss only such questions as concern us.
让我们只讨论与我们有关的问题。
I’ve never heard such stories as he tells.
我从来没听说过他讲的这种故事。
I shall be surprised if he does this in the same way as I do.
如果他做这件事的方法和我一样，那就奇怪了。
She works in the same office as I do.
她和我在同一个办公室工作。
She wears the same kind of clothes as her sister does.
她姐妹俩穿同样的衣服。

这块表和我丢的那块一样。
I’ve never seen such kind of people as they are.
我从来没见过像他们这样的人。
I’ve never seen such kind people as they are.
我从来没见过象他们这样厚道的人。
I want the same shirt as my friend’s.
我要一件跟我朋友一样的衬衫。
Such machines as are used in our workshop are made in china.
我们车间使用的这种机器是中国制造的。
但是，如果从句和主句的动作在将来不同的时间发生，则两部分都要用来将来时，
注:④在same和such之后，定语从句用as引导，
偶尔，the same 后面也用that，
如:He’s wearing the same suit that he wore at Mary’s wedding.
他穿着与他在Mary的婚礼上穿的一样的衣服。
She works in the same office that I do.
她和我在同一个办公室工作。
This is the same watch that I have lost.
这块表和我丢的那块一样。
as 引导非限定性定语从句即可放在主句之前，也可放在主句之后，用来修饰整个句子。当as在从句中作主语时，后面常接下列句型。如:as is known, as is said, as is reported as is announced 等。
例如:As we all know, Mr. Wang is a good teacher.
As is known to all, the earth revolves round the sun.
He is tired, as you can see.
As I expected, he didn’t believe me.
As 引导非限定性定语从句时与which的区别:当主句和从句语义一致时，用as；反之，用which。
如:He made a long speech, as was expected.
He made a long speech, which was unexpected.
Tom drinks a lot every day, which his wife doesn’t like at all.
（3）但是，如果从句和主句的动作在将来不同的时间发生，则两部分都要用来将来时，
注:⑤在“介词+关系代词”的结构中，也可用复杂介词，如:by means of （用，依靠），as a result of （作为结果）等:
例:I have three children, one daughter and two sons, all of whom graduated from the same university .

她当时正发烧，所以考试失败了。
He is the man from whose house the picture was stolen.
他就是那个家里的画被偷了的人。
注:⑥一个先行词后面可以跟一个以上的定语从句，这种现象叫双重关系从句:
例:Here are some words which are often used but which are very confusing.
这里有些常用但非常混乱的词。
He is the only person that I can find who is able to solve the problem.
他是我能找到的唯一解决这个问题的人。
名词性从句
在主从复合句中，从句可以充当主句的主语、表语、宾语或同位语。由于在多数情况下，主语、表语、宾语或同位语这四种句子成分由名词性词类充当，所以，我们把这些作用相当于名词的从句统称为名词性从句，把充当主语、表语、宾语或同位语的从句分别称为主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句或同位语从句。也就是说充当什么成分就叫什么从句。名词性从句由连接词（或关联词）引导。
常用的连接词有:
连接词 作用
whether是否
that（本身无词义） 只起连接词作用，引导从句，在从句中不作任何成分
在从句中分别作主语、宾语和定语
who，whom，whose
which哪一个
what什么，所…的 在从句中分别作主语、宾语和定语
在从句中分别作主语、宾语和定语
除了起连接词作用外，还在从句中作状语
when什么时候，where什么地方
how怎样，怎么，why为什么
疑问词（who, whom, whose, what, which, where, why, when, how）可以引导主语、宾语和表语从句。
它们的特点是:1、疑问词有本身的词义；2、疑问词在从句中担当句子成分，如主语、宾语或状语；3、这种疑问词引导的从句一律用陈述语序，不能用疑问语序。
For example:
Do you know whom they are looking for? 你知道他们在找谁吗？（宾语从句，陈述语序。不能是whom are they looking for?）
I don’t know who did it. 我不知道这是谁干的。（宾语从句。在从句中如果疑问词作主语，其陈述语序和疑问语序一致。）
She asked me where I had been. 她问我到哪儿去了。（宾语从句。陈述语序，不能是where had I been. 直接引语，间接引语。注意这句话的时态。）
Can you tell me when the train will arrive? 你能告诉我火车什么时候到吗？(宾语从句。陈述语序，不能是when will the train arrive. 直接引语，间接引语。)
I don’t know why he hasn’t come yet. 我不知道他为什么还没来。（宾语从句，陈述语序。不能是why hasn’t he come yet.）
He didn’t tell me what you were doing. 他没和我说你在干什么。（宾语从句，陈述语序。不能是what were you doing.）
What you have done might do harm t other people. 你所做过的事情有可能伤害别人。（主语从句。what 作从句的宾语。陈述语序，不能是what have you done. 如果用疑问语序，意思发生了变化，成了“你做了什么？”。）
I don’t know where he is now. 我不知道他现在在哪里。（宾语从句，陈述语序。不能是where is he now.）
Where he went for his weekend is not known. 不知道他去哪里过的周末。（主语从句，where 作从句的地点状语。陈述语序，不能是where did he go for his weekend.）
Whose fault this is is not important. 这是谁的过错并不重要。（主语从句，whose 作从句的定语。陈述语序，不能是whose fault is this.）
What I want to know is where he has gone for his weekend. 我想知道的是他到哪里度周末去了。（这句话包含两个名词性从句:what I want to know是主语从句，what 在从句中作宾语，从句用陈述语序，不能是What do I want to know. Where he has gone for his weekend 是表语从句，where 在从句中作状语，从句用陈述语序，不能是where has he gone for his weekend.）
下面我们再分别讲述主语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句和表语从句。
主语从句
1.that 引导主语从句时，that 没有意义，但不能省略。（that 引导宾语从句时可以省略。）
For example:
It worried her a bit that her hair was turning gray. 她的头发正在变白，这使她很不安。that引导主语从句，it 作形式主语，that 不能省略。
That she is a rich woman is known to us all. 众所周知，她是个富有的女人。这是that 引导主语从句，that 不能省略。这句话可以改为用it 作形式主语的句型。请同学们改写:It is known to us all that she is a rich woman.）
We didn’t know (that) you had sold your house. 我们不知道你已经把你的房子卖了。这是that引导宾语从句，that 可以省略。注意这句话的时态。
2.从句作主语时，多数情况下由 it 作形式主语，而把主语从句放在后面，尤其是谓语部分（包括宾语）较短的情况下。
For example:
It wasn’t very clear what she meant. 不清楚她是什么意思。
It is important that he should come on time. 他按时来是很重要的。
It is true that that man on the left is a well-known writer here. 左边那个人是本地的一位著名作家，这是真的。这里，第一个that 引导主语从句，是单纯的连词，无词义，不作句子成分。第二个that 是指示代词，作句子成分，是man 的定语。
3.whether 既可以引导主语从句也可以引导宾语从句，但if不能引导主语从句。whether 后面可以加or not, 而if 不能与or not 连用。作介词宾语时不用if.
For example:
Whether I knew John doesn’t matter. = It doesn’t matter whether I knew John. 我是否认识约翰没有关系。
Whether or not she’ll come isn’t clear. = Whether she’ll come or not isn’t clear. = It isn’t clear whether …. 她是否来还不清楚。
It all depends on whether we can get their cooperation. 这是主语从句还是宾语从句？it 是形式主语吗？it 是代词，whether 引导的是宾语从句，作介词on 的宾语，不能用if引导。请翻译这句话。这完全取决于我们是否能得到他们的合作。
I worry about whether I hurt her feelings. 宾语从句，介词宾语，不能用if 引导。请翻译这句话。
She asked me whether/if you were married. 宾语从句，既可以用whether, 又可以用if 引导。注意时态的对应。请翻译这句话。
We haven’t decided whether/if we shall give them aid.
I’m not sure whether/if the report is believable.
Now let’s do some translation:
现在还很难预测谁会赢得下一届总统选举。
It is still hard to predict who will win the next presidential election.
对于多数公民来说，谁当选总统无关紧要。
Who will become the president doesn’t matter much to most citizens.
这位前总统是否会被判处死刑还有待观察。
It remains to be seen whether the ex-president will be sentenced to death.
真可惜，王教授不能出席我们的英语晚会。
It is a pity that Prof. Wang can’t attend our English Evening.
我们需要的是更多的时间。
What we need is more time.
宾语从句
在谓语动词、介词、动词不定式、分词、动名词之后都可以带有宾语从句。某些形容词如sure, happy, glad, certain, pleased 等之后也可以带有宾语从句。
1.that 引导的宾语从句: that 没有意义，在口语或非正式文体中常省略:如:
I really feel she’s making a mistake. 我的确感到她正犯错误。
James said (that) he was feeling better. 詹姆斯说他感到好些了。
Hearing that his son was badly wounded, he hurried to the hospital to see him. 听说儿子受了重伤，他急忙赶到医院去看望他。
I suggested that we should go home. 我建议我们回家去。虚拟语气，that 一般不能省略。
2.whether/if (是否)引导的宾语从句:如果要突出“究竟是…还是不…”，常在whether 后面加or not; if 一般不与or not连用。如:
He asked me if/whether I knew John. 他问我是否认识约翰。
Let me know whether you can come or not. 你能来还是不能来，告诉我一声。
3.在think, believe, suppose, expect 等动词的宾语从句中，否定不用在从句中，而是将think 等词变为否定形式。
For example:
I don’t think the film is interesting. 我觉得这部电影没什么意思。
I don’t suppose we are going outing tomorrow. 我认为我们明天不会出去郊游。
4.如果从句作宾语而后面还有补语，为了保持句子的平衡，用it 作形式宾语，而将宾语从句放在句尾。常跟这样的复合宾语的动词有:make, find, see, hear, feel, think, consider, regard, take….for granted等。如:
George made it clear that he opposed this project. 乔治已明确表示他反对这个项目。it 代表that 引导的句子，作宾语，clear 是宾语补足语。
They kept it quiet that he was dead. 对他已经死亡的消息，他们秘而不宣。
I took it for granted that you’d stay with us. 我想当然认为你会和我们呆在一起。
同位语从句
同位语从句是对名词的内容给予具体、详细的说明。常在后面接同位语从句的名词有fact, news, idea, truth, hope, suggestion, question, problem, doubt, fear, belief等。同位语从句常用的引导词为that,有是也用when, where 等疑问词。如:
The news that the United States was hit by terrorist attacks took the whole world by surprise. 美国受到恐怖主义分子袭击的消息令全世界吃惊。
The idea that you can do this work well without thinking is quite wrong. 你认为不动脑筋就能做好这件工作的想法是完全错误的。
People used to hold the belief that the earth was the center of the universe. 人们曾认为地球是宇宙的中心。
The difficulty lies in the fact that we are short of money. 困难在于我们缺乏资金这个事实。
They have no idea at all where he has gone. 他们一点儿也不知道他去哪儿了。
注意:同位语从句的that 只是引导词，没有其他语法作用，在句子中不作句子成分，不能省略；而定语从句中的that 除了引导定语从句外，还是定语从句的一个成分，在定语从句中作主语或宾语，作主语时不能省略，作宾语时可以省略。如:
The idea that some peoples are superior to others is sheer nonsense. 有些民族优越于其他民族这种想法简直荒谬。（请辨别是同位语从句还是定语从句。）（同位语从句）
The idea that he proposed at the meeting is sheer nonsense. 他在会议上提出的这个想法简直荒谬。（请辨别是同位语从句还是定语从句。）（定语从句）
No one is happy with the fact that he found out. 没有人对他发现的事实感到高兴。（请辨别是同位语从句还是定语从句。）（定语从句）
No one is happy with the fact that he will become their boss. 没有人对他将成为他们的老板这一事实感到高兴。（请辨别是同位语从句还是定语从句。）（同位语从句）
表语从句
表语从句位于主句的连系动词之后，在非正式文体中引导词that可以省略。如:
That’s not what I want. 那不是我要的。
That’s why I have come. 那就是我为什么来了。
My opinion is that things will improve. 我的意见是事情会好起来的。
One advantage of solar energy is that it will never run out. 太阳能的一个优点是永远也不会枯竭。

The problem is who is to pay and when we can start. 问题是谁来付帐、我们又何时开始。

What surprised me was that he spoke English so well. 使我感到吃惊的是他英语讲得那么好。
All I can say is that I have nothing to do with it. 我能说的就是我与此事没有关系。
What I want to know is where we shall go and whether she will join us. 我想知道的是我们要去什么地方以及她是否加入我们。
表语从句位于主句的连系动词之后，在非正式文体中引导词that可以省略。如:
The fact is that he didn’t notice the car until too late. 事实是他注意到车时已经太晚了。
What surprised me was that he spoke English so well. 使我感到吃惊的是他英语讲得那么好。
All I can say is that I have nothing to do with it. 我能说的就是我与此事没有关系。
What I want to know is where we shall go and whether she will join us. 我想知道的是我们要去什么地方以及她是否加入我们。
此外，表语从句还可由as if （好像）引导。如:
It looked as if it was/were going to rain. （虚拟语气）
Now let’s do some translation:
这就是她昨天请一天假的原因。
That is why she had a day off yesterday.
我的想法是，个人的权利应该得到充分尊重。

问题在于上帝是否真的存在。
The question is whether the God really exists.
我想知道的是，他是如何在这么短的时间内完成这个项目的。
What I want to know is how he managed to complete the project in such a short time.
形容词后的that 从句
that 引导的名词性从句还可以用在一些形容词后面。这种句型一般都用人作主语，所用的形容词都是表示思想状况或感情色彩的形容词，如certain, sure, positive, afraid, convinced, anxious, disappointed, worried, glad, happy, sorry, amazed, surprised, aware, doubtful, confident等等。如:
I am sure/certain that he’s at home now. 我肯定他现在在家。

2.用作插入语，指代后面的成分。这和非限定性定语从句正好相反，非限定性定语从句指代的是前面的成分。如:

3.引导让步状语从句，等于“不管什么…”。注意状语从句的语序。如:
Do what she would, she could not invent a reason for not going. 不管她会做什么，她都编不出不去的理由。状语从句把实义动词放在句首，句子倒装。＝No matter what she would do, …
Come what may, you’ll always keep it secret. 无论怎样，你都要保守秘密。＝No matter what may come, ….
