考点一 定语 1.单词作定语的位置

1.句①~⑥中黑体部分在句中均作定语。句①③中黑体部分在句中均作前置定语。句②、④、⑤、⑥中黑体部分在句中均作后置定语。 2.句⑦~⑩中,黑体部分均为定语从句;其中句⑨⑩的黑体部分为非性定语从句。 后自主感悟
the changed world已经变化了的世界 the changing world正在变化中的世界 2.短语作定语的位置
英语中的分词短语(participial phrase)、不定式短语(infinitive phrase)、介词短语(prepositional phrase)、形容词短语(adjective phrase)和长度短语(length phrase)等,通常放在所修饰的词之后。

英语中两个或两个以上的单词作定语放在中心词前共同修饰一个名词,其基本次序是由小范围到大范围,由次要意义到主要意义,由程度弱到程度强,由一般到专有。意思越具体,物质性越强,就越接近名词。
限定词+数量词(序数词在前,基数词在后)+描绘词+大小、长短、高低等形体+新旧+颜色+国籍+材料+名词

考点三 定语从句需注意的几个问题 1.只用关系代词that不用which的情况 (1)当先行词是不定代词或被不定代词所修饰时
All that he wants to do now is to lie down and rest.他现在想做的事情就是躺下休息。
(2)当先行词有the only,the very,just the修饰时 This is the very person that I'm waiting for. 这正是我要等的人。
(3)当先行词被序数词、形容词最高级修饰时或本身是序数词或最高级时 This is the most interesting film that I've ever seen. 这是我看过的最有趣的电影。 (4)先行词既有人又有物时
Do you know the things and persons that they are talking about? 你知道他们正谈论的那些人和事吗?
(5)在who和which引导的特殊疑问句中 Which is the pen that you lost? 哪支钢笔是你丢的呢?
(6)当先行词在主句中作表语,而关系代词又在从句中作表语时
My hometown is no longer the city that it used to be.我的家乡不再是过去的样子了。
2.只用which不用that的情况 (1)在非性定语从句中只用which。
(2)当动词短语中的介词提前时,只用which,但在固定搭配中,不能把介词提前。 This is the factory in which he once worked. 这是他曾经工作过的工厂。
This machine,which I have looked after for twenty years,is still working perfectly.
这部机器,我保养了二十年,仍然运转得非常好。
3.as和which指整个主句的内容,引导非性定语从句的区别
as引导的定语从句可以位于句首、句中或句末,which引导的定语从句一般只位于句末;as引导的定语从句常与know,see,report,say,expect,announce等动词连用,并且as在定语从句中可作主语或宾语,可修饰先行词such或the same所修饰的名词;which引导这类定语从句时常作实义动词的主语。当引导的从句与主句之间含有并列关系或因果关系时,一般用which。
