從句的概要

當許多觀點被融合在一個句子里時，其中某些觀點比另一些要更重要，這個時候,

我們用從句來表達不太重要的觀點。從句包括狀語從句，名詞性從句或定語從句。

I.狀語從句可以表達時間，地點，方式，比較，條件，原因，目的或結果。它們由

隱含這些意思的引導詞來引導，如:when,where,houi?although,if./ince.

becau/e.inorderthat,/othat.

如：Becctu/ethepopulatiotiofQuebeci//tillover70percentfreneh.mofitreal

ha/uionclerfulmixofOldUloddandHewUlorldarchitectureandculture.

2.名詞性從句在句中充當名詞的作用，可以做主語，賓語或表語。可以由that,或

疑問詞(uihcit.which,uiho/e.when.houi.uihy.where,who)或if/uihether來弓|導。

當名詞性從句作賓語的時候，that常省略，尤其是在口語和非正式的書面語中。

如：Hlofttrealha/colorfulnightlifetoen/ure(that)nori/itori/everbored.

當我們用名詞性從句來陳述問句時，句子的順序是陳述句的語序而不是問句的語序。

如：I@。notknowwhen/hewilltravel.(AOTIdonotknowwhenwill/hetravel.)

5.定語從句就像形容詞一它們為某物提供更多的信息。定語從句由關系代詞(which.

that.who.whom,uiho/e)和關系副詞(where,why.why)來引導。定語從句有兩

種，限定性和非限定性。

I)限定性定語從句所提供的信息用來定義所修飾的物或人。在關系代詞或副詞之前

沒有逗號。

如：fortho/ewholoveoutdooractivilie/.it\tpo//ibletohike./oil.

cfo/z-counUy/kiortravelforhour/-ofevenday/-withoutmeetinganotherpef/on.

2)關系代詞可以用來替換who和which。

如：Iti/goodtolearnabouttheculture/ofpeopleuiho/thcitcomefromother

countrie/.

5)如果關系代詞做定語從句中的賓語時，關系代詞通常被省略，在英語口語中由為

如此。

如：Themapleleafi/thepciHem(that)youcan/eeontheCanadianflag.

4)非限定性定語從句用來提供額外的信息，它可以被省略而不會影響句子的語法結

構，而且要放在逗號的后面。

如：locatedintheheartofTorontoi，theCanadiaftnationalTouier.whichi/

oftencalledthe

COTouieffor/horl.
