Help collect the things of the definite clause

1.Let's start with an example:

he is the man whom i met yesterday.

whom is a relative pronoun that leads to the following definite clause (also equivalent to the leading word of the clause), which replaces the antecedent the man as the definite clause i met ( yesterdayThe object of met.

2.A definite clause is equivalent to a definite clause, and a definite clause is of course used to modify a noun. The noun (pronoun) that is modified by it is called a antecedent.

3.The key to the understanding of the definite clause: the relative word is equivalent to the meaning of the antecedent and acts as a certain component in the definite clause, but because it plays the role of guiding the clause, it is generally placed at the beginning of the definite clause (after the antecedent).

4.The definite clause is also a complete sentence, except that one of its components is to be acted by the relative word and placed at the beginning of the sentence.

5.Let's take a look at the example sentence, the full way to write the definite clause is: I met whom(=the man) yesterday

The relative word whom means the man, but it should be placed at the beginning of the definite clause to play a guiding role.

6.What other components do the relative words in the definite clause usually play?

1) If it is a relative pronoun who whom that which as, it generally acts as the subject, object, and predicate of the definite clause; In fact, it is the function that a noun can play in a sentence, because the antecedent replaced by a relative pronoun is a noun or pronoun.

Another: acting as a definite is the exclusive function of the relative pronoun whose.

2) If it is a relational adverb when where why, it must act as an adverbial in a definite clause. Because relative adverbs = prepositions + relative pronouns, and in grammatical mediating object phrases, like adverbs, are generally adverbial in sentences.

When is a temporal adverbial for a definite clause; where is the place adverbial of the definite clause; Why is the reason adverbial for the definite clause.

Such as: i'll always remeber the day when i was born.

Relational adverb when=on + which(=the day)

In fact, the day is a leading word, which can be replaced by which.

When in the adjective clause i was born on the dayOf course, it's time adverbials.
