定语从句并不属于中考范围，但由于作者在多年的教学中体会到，这一语法现象影响了许多学生自学英语。这些学生一般是成绩较好的学生，想进行大量阅读来提高自己的英语水平，但总是碰到一些问题，百思不得其解。苦于自己的水平只限于初中水平，无法提高，但各种补习班又都是为一些水平较差的学生开设的，所以又投师无门。为了解决这部分学生的学习困难，也为那些有志青年铺平学习上的道路，特用这一节讲述定语从句，不是从语法上讲述，而是从阅读理解方面去讲述。可供同学们在学习时参考。这会对你的英语学习起到事半功倍的作用。对于形容词我们已十分熟悉了，如：a gd b，形容词gd 用来修饰书b。我们也可以用一个句子来修饰名词，这种句子叫做形容词性从句，它起修饰名词的作用，又被叫做定语从句(The attributive clause)。但有一点不同的是这个从句不是像形容词那样放于名词前，而是放在名词之后。它所修饰的名词又被叫作先行词，如：D u n
The students wh sit in the frnt rw are fr China
(要注意的是先行词是students 则wh 的数也应看作复数。)

关系代词wh, which 在定语从句中作介词宾语时，可以和介词一起放于先行词与定语从句之间，有时为了关系紧凑也可以将wh 与which 与先行词紧挨着书写，而将介词置于定语从句的后面，如：
That was the r in which we had lived fr ten ears 或可以写作：
That was the r which we had lived in fr ten ears
He was the an wh(wh) u were ling fr要注意的是此句的关系代词 wh 可以用主格取代，而l fr 是短语动词也不可将fr 放于定语从句之前。that 作关系代词作介词宾语时，不能紧跟介词，而只能将介词置于定语从句的后面。如：The an that we were taling abut has ce t ur schl. 这时不可用 abut that … 请看下面例句：
1. The eeting was interesting. I went t it.
The eeting that I went t was interesting.
2. The an was ver ind. I taled t hi esterda.

5. The an is standing ver there. I tld u abut hi.
The an wh I tld u abut is standing ver there
除关系代词外，还有关系副词，when, where, wh，其中when用来指时间，在定语从句中作时间状语。如：I never frget the da when I first cae t the Great Wall. 而where 则指地点，如：This is the huse where the ld an lives. 请看下面例句：
1. The cit was beautiful. We spent ur vacatin there.
The cit where we spent ur vacatin was beautiful

在定语从句中又可分为两大类定语从句，即限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。
① 限制性定语从句是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语，如果去掉的话，主句的意思就不完整，意义就表述不明。这种句型一般定语从句紧接先行词，如：I was the nl persn in ffice wh was invited.
② 非限制性定语从句。它与主句的关系不十分密切，只是对其附加说明，也就是讲即便去掉定语从句，句意也不受影响，仍然清晰明了。这样的定语从句要在它和主句之间加一逗号分开。且关系代词不引导这种非限制性定语从句，如：Abraha Lincln, wh led the United States thrugh these ears, was sht n April 14, 1865 at a theatre in washingtn D. C. 又如：Galile lived in the cit f Pisa, where there is a leaning twer abut 180 feet high.
