How to divide the sentence components of a definite clause?

The structure of the definite clause is: the definite clause, the antecedent, the relative clause, and the clause.

Example sentence of the definite clause:

1.In the definite clause guided by who, who is used as the subject, as: this is the boy who often helps me

2.In the definite clause guided by whom, whom is used as an object, as in: the man whom you are waiting for has gone home

3.In the definite clause led by whose, whose is used as a definite clause, e.g., do you know the girl whose skirt is white?

4.In the definite clause guided by which, which is used as the object of the subject or predicate verb or the object of the preposition, as:

the room in which there is a machine is a work shop.

the river which is in front of my house is very clean.

this is the pen which you want.

The structure of the definite clause is that the clause is used as a definite clause to modify the noun, which is divided into relative pronoun-led and relative-adverb-led; Relative pronouns are that, which, who, whose; Relational adverbs are when, where, why, how

The choice of relative words in the clause is determined according to the composition of the antecedent in the clause.

The relative pronouns of the leading definite clauses are that, which, whom, whose, and the relative adverb where when why.

Relative pronouns or relative adverbs act as a component in the definite clause, the relative pronouns thatwhich, who, whom, etc. are used as the subject or object respectively in the clause, whose is used as the definite clause, and the relative adverbs when, where, why, etc., are used as adverbials in the clause.

Examples:

will never forget the days when/in which we worked together.

I will never forget the days we worked together.

will never forget the days which/that we spent together.

I will never forget the days we worked together.

Relative words are divided into relative pronouns and relative adverbs.

Relative pronouns: that, which, who, whom, whose, asRelative adverbs: when, where, why, how Relative pronouns are used as subjects or objects in the clause (you can see what component is missing in the clause, and the relative word is that component).

If there is no lack of necessary components in the clause, then the relative word should be a relative adverb in the clause, and the adverbial should be used as an adverbial in the clause.

Relative pronouns are divided into relative pronouns and relative adverbs, relative pronouns: that, which, who, whom, whose, as, relative adverbs: when, where, why, how, relative pronouns are the subject or object in the clause (you can see what component is missing in the clause, the relative word is that component), the clause does not lack the necessary components, then the relative word should be a relative adverb, and the adverbial is in the clause.

Relative pronouns refer to the antecedent words that represent the antecedents and at the same time make certain sentence components in the clauses. Relative pronouns are divided into nomiative, accusative, and genitive, and are divided into referent and referent. Relative pronouns are used to guide definite clauses.

Note the distinction between the following two phrases:

1．"such...that..."Table"So ......so ......"is used to guide a resultant adverbial clause.

While"such...as..."Table"Like ......This (that) way"The meaning is used to guide the definite clause, and as acts as the subject, object, predicative, etc. in the definite clause.

Compare the following two sentences: He is such an honest man that we respect him He is such an honest man that we all respect him. He is such an honest man as we respect.

2．"the same...that..."Table the same person or thing, while"the same...

as..."The thing of the same kind is the table. Try comparing the following two sentences:

This is the same book that I lost. This is the same book as I lost.

Generally, these two are interchangeable.

1.When guiding a non-restrictive definite clause, which is usually used.

2.When placed directly after a preposition as an object, which is usually used.

little,none,all,few,every(thing),any(thing),no(thing)

Wait, usually use that.

4.When the antecedent has the

very,theonly,thesame

and so on, that is usually used.

5.That is usually used when the antecedent has modifiers such as adjectives, superlatives, ordinal numerals, etc., including last, next, etc.

6.When a relative pronoun is used as a predicate in a definite clause, that is usually used.

7.That is usually used when the antecedent is a parallel phrase that refers to both a person and an object.

8.When repetition is to be avoided (e.g. which begins the sentence).

The structure of the definite clause is: definite clause = antecedent word + relative word + clause sells Liangsun.

A definite clause, a sentence is modified and qualified after a word or pronoun (antecedent), which is called a definite clause. Generally speaking, a clause is a definite clause in the whole sentence, and this clause is called a definite clause. A clause acts as a definite component in the main clause.

The modified word is called the antecedent. A definite clause is different from a case where a word is used as a definite clause in that it can usually only be placed after the modified word (i.e., the antecedent).

The definite clause is guided by the chain of relative words (relative pronouns, relative adverbs), and the relative pronouns and relative adverbs are located at the beginning of the definite clause.

The difference between a restrictive clause and a non-restrictive clause.

1) From a structural point of view, a restrictive clause cannot be separated from a precedent by a comma; Non-restrictive clauses must be separated by commas. The relative pronouns that lead to non-restrictive clauses cannot be omitted.

For example: the clock, which my great-grandfather bought, is still in good order

This clock was bought by my great-grandfather, and it is still on track.

2) Two adjective clauses often give different meanings to the same antecedent.

For example: My sister who lives in London is a doctor

My sister, who lives in London, is a doctor.

my sister,who lives in london,is a doctor.

My sister is a doctor and she lives in London.

3) Non-restrictive clauses can treat the entire main clause as antecedents, while restrictive clauses do not have this function. When a non-restrictive clause key modifies the entire main clause, it can only be guided by which or as.

For example: I said nothing, which made him still more angry

I didn't say a word, which made him even angrier.

he was a frenchman,as i could tell from his accent.

He was French, and I could tell from his accent.

he was drunk,which seemed to make a bad impression on the policeman.

He was drunk, which seemed to make a bad impression on the police.

Attributive clauses are used as definite clauses in a sentence to modify a noun or pronoun, and the modified noun, phrase or pronoun is a antecedent. The definite clause usually appears after the antecedent and is elicited by a relative word (relative pronoun or relative adverb).

Relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, that, which, etc.

Relational adverbs are: when, where, why, etc. A definite clause guided by a relative pronoun.

The antecedent replaced by a relative pronoun is a noun or pronoun of a person or thing, and acts as a subject, object, definite, and other components in the sentence. When the relative pronoun is used as the subject in the definite clause, the personal pronoun and number of the predicate verb of the clause should be consistent with the antecedent.

1）who,whom,that

The antecedents that these words replace are human nouns or pronouns that function in the clause as follows:

is he the man who/that wants to see you?

Is he the person you want to meet? (who that is the subject in the clause).

he is the man whom/ that i saw yesterday.

That's the guy I met yesterday. (whom that is the object in the clause).

2) Whose is used to refer to a person or thing, (only used as a definite term, if it refers to a thing, it can also be used interchangeably with of which), e.g

they rushed over to help the man whose car had broken down.The man's car broke down, and everyone ran over to help.

please pass me the book whose (of which) cover is green.Please hand me the green book.
