初中英语作文定语从句如何运用?

什么是定语从句?
我们要理解它的基本概念。
- 定语:就是用来修饰、限定名词或代词的成分,在句子 "I like the red car." 中,"red" 就是定语,修饰名词 "car"。
- 从句:就是一个含有主语和谓语,但不能独立成句的句子。
定语从句,顾名思义,就是一个充当定语的从句,它紧跟在它所修饰的名词(或代词)后面,对这个名词进行更详细的说明。

结构公式:
被修饰的名词 (先行词) + 关系词 + 从句
举例说明:
- 简单句: The girl is my friend. (这个女孩是我的朋友。)
我们想补充说明“哪个女孩”。
(图片来源网络,侵删) - 加入定语从句: The girl who is wearing a red dress is my friend.
The girl是先行词 (被修饰的名词)。who is wearing a red dress是定语从句。who是关系词,它连接了主句和从句,并且在从句中作主语。- 整个句子的意思是:“那个穿着红色连衣裙的女孩是我的朋友。”
定语从句的核心:关系词
关系词是定语从句的灵魂,它有两个主要作用:
- 连接主句和从句。
- 代替先行词,并在从句中充当一个成分(主语、宾语或状语)。
初中阶段需要掌握的核心关系词主要有三个:that, which, who。
| 关系词 | 指代对象 | 在从句中成分 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|---|
| that | 人或物 | 主语或宾语 | The book that I bought yesterday is interesting. (我昨天买的那本书很有趣。) The girl that you met is my sister. (你遇到的那个女孩是我妹妹。) |
| which | 物 | 主语或宾语 | The movie which we watched last night was wonderful. (我们昨晚看的那部电影很精彩。) The pen which is on the desk is mine. (桌上的那支笔是我的。) |
| who | 人 | 主语或宾语 | The boy who is playing basketball is my classmate. (那个正在打篮球的男孩是我的同学。) The person who you are looking for is not here. (你在找的那个人不在这里。) |
特别提醒:
that非常万能,既可以指人也可以指物,在初中阶段,如果不确定用哪个,用that通常是最安全的选择。who只能指代人。which只能指代物。
如何在作文中运用定语从句?(三步法)
第一步:找到需要修饰的名词(先行词) 在你的草稿中,先找到那些你觉得可以描述得更具体、更生动的名词。

第二步:选择合适的关系词
根据先行词是“人”还是“物”,以及关系词在从句中需要充当的成分(主语还是宾语),选择 who, which 或 that。
第三步:完成从句 把关系词放到从句中合适的位置,然后补充完整从句的其余部分(主语、谓语等)。
作文实战演练
让我们通过一个常见的作文题目来练习:《我最好的朋友》 (My Best Friend)
【草稿版 - 没有定语从句】
I have a best friend. Her name is Lily. She is a girl. She is 14 years old. She has long hair. She is kind and helpful. I like her very much. She often helps me with my English. I am happy to have her.
这段话虽然语法正确,但是句子结构单一,全是简单句,显得很枯燥。
【升级版 - 加入定语从句】
我们来用定语从句丰富它。
-
描述 Lily 的名字:
- 原句: Her name is Lily.
- 升级: My best friend is a girl whose name is Lily.
whose也是关系词,表示“……的”,这里表示“她的”,这是初中一个重要的拓展。
- 或者: I have a best friend who is named Lily. (我有一个叫莉莉的好朋友。)
who指代a best friend,在从句中作主语。
-
描述 Lily 的外貌和性格:
- 原句: She has long hair. She is kind and helpful.
- 升级: She is a kind and helpful girl who has long hair.
who指代a kind and helpful girl,在从句中作主语。
-
描述 Lily 帮助我:
- 原句: She often helps me with my English.
- 升级: She is the person who often helps me with my English.
who指代the person,在从句中作主语。
- 或者: The help that she gives me is very important. (她给我的帮助非常重要。)
that指代The help,在从句中作宾语。
【最终作文范文】
My Best Friend
I have a best friend who is named Lily. She is a 14-year-old girl that I have known for three years. She is a kind and helpful girl who is always ready to help others.
What I admire most about her is her passion for knowledge. She is the person who often encourages me to read more books and never gives up on my dreams. Last month, I failed an important math exam and felt very sad. It was Lily who comforted me and helped me go over the difficult problems that I couldn't understand.
Having a friend like Lily is one of the greatest things in my life. I believe our friendship will last forever.
范文解析:
...a best friend who is named Lily.(修饰friend)...a 14-year-old girl that I have known for three years.(修饰girl)...a kind and helpful girl who is always ready to help others.(修饰girl)...the person who often encourages me...(修饰person)...It was Lily who comforted me...(强调句,也是定语从句的一种变体)...the difficult problems that I couldn't understand.(修饰problems)
常见错误与注意事项
-
关系词的误用:
- 错误:The book who I bought is good. (书是物,不能用 who)
- 正确:The book which/that I bought is good.
-
关系词的缺失:
- 错误:The girl (关系词缺失) is my sister is tall. (从句
is my sister is tall缺少主语) - 正确:The girl who is my sister is tall.
- 错误:The girl (关系词缺失) is my sister is tall. (从句
-
定语从句不完整:
- 错误:I like the book that you bought yesterday. (这个句子是正确的!但很多同学会忘记,如果关系词在从句中作宾语,可以省略。)
- 正确且可以省略关系词:I like the book (that) you bought yesterday.
- 错误:The man that I talked to him is my teacher. (关系词
that在从句中作talked to的宾语,后面不能再用him) - 正确:The man that/who/whom I talked to is my teacher. 或者 The man to whom I talked is my teacher. (后者高中阶段更常用)
对于初中生来说,掌握定语从句是提升英语写作水平的重要里程碑。
- 核心是三个词:
who(人),which(物),that(人或物)。 - 方法是三步走: 找名词、选关系词、补全从句。
- 目标是提升表达: 让你的句子不再单调,内容更具体、生动。
