忌“多”—— 忌在定語從句中加入多余的賓語,如:
a . 誤: Theemail that (which) I
received it yesterday was from Dr. Smith .
正: The email that (which) I received yesterday was from Dr .Smith .
b.誤:Are these the words you
wrote them just now?
正:Are these the words you wrote just now?
簡析:例a中誤句的that(which)在從句中做received的賓語,it是多余的詞。 例b中誤句的關(guān)系代詞that (which)已經(jīng)被省略, that(which)作wrote的賓語,them屬于多余,應(yīng)該去掉。
忌“漏”—— 忌遺漏在定語從句中做主語的關(guān)系代詞,如:
a. 誤:This is the thief stole my car.
正:This is the thief who / that stole my car.
簡析:應(yīng)該在句中的thief后加上who / that,關(guān)系代詞who / that在從句中做主語。
b. 誤:The boy often comes late to school was ill last week.
正:The boy who / that often comes late to school was ill last week.
簡析:在boy 后面加上who / that,這里who / that在定語從句中做comes的主語。
忌“誤”—— 忌在定語從句中謂語動(dòng)詞的單、復(fù)數(shù)誤用,如:
a. 誤:Those who has got the apples can leave here now.
正:Those who have got the apples can leave here now.
簡析:句中的who指代those, 從句中謂語應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式,所以has應(yīng)該改為have。
b. 誤:She is one of the girl students who is good at swimming.
正:She is one of the girl students who are good at swimming.
簡析:句中who指girl students,句子的意思是“她是擅長游泳的女學(xué)生之一”,故謂語動(dòng)詞is應(yīng)改為are。
忌“重”—— 忌在定語從句中介詞重復(fù)使用,如:
誤:The flat where Mrs Black lives in is mine.
正:The flat where Mrs Black lives is mine.
或The flat (which)Mrs Black lives in is mine.
簡析:誤句中的where = in which,再加上介詞in,顯然是重復(fù)的。
忌“混”—— 忌在定語從句中關(guān)系代詞(which / that)與關(guān)系副詞(when / where)混用,如:
誤:I’ll never forget the day when we spent together.
正:I’ll never forget the day which / that we spent together.
簡析:誤句中when應(yīng)該改為which / that, 因?yàn)閣hich / that在從句中做spent的賓語,而when做從句的狀語。
