The definite clause is too difficult, how can you learn it?

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

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 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 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.

1. Grasp the backbone: The backbone of long and difficult sentences is the core of the whole sentence, and when understanding, you need to grasp the backbone and analyze it to grasp the basic meaning of the sentence.

2. Separate secondary information: After grasping the main stem, you can gradually separate the secondary information, clarify the modification relationship, and help understand the meaning of the whole sentence.

3. Strengthen conjunctions: Determinative clauses are usually guided by relative pronouns or relative adverbs, so when understanding long and difficult sentences, it is necessary to carefully analyze the role of these conjunctions and clarify the relationship between the definite and the modified content.

It may be tiring and difficult to call a long and difficult sentence, but as long as you understand and analyze it according to the above methods, I believe you can easily deal with it.

An example sentence of a definite clause

1、the book, which i bought yesterday, is really interesting.

I bought this book yesterday and it's really interesting.

2、the girl who is singing now is my sister.

The girl who sings now is my sister.

3、the teacher, whose class i’m taking, is very knowledgeable.

The teacher I was teaching was very knowledgeable.

4、this is the house where i grew up.

This is the home where I grew up.

5、the car that you saw earlier was just sold.

The car you just saw has been sold.

The difficulties of the definite clause are as follows:

Clause. First, it is necessary to figure out the structure of the English definite clause and the corresponding Chinese one. That is to say, in Chinese, all "nouns of verb phrases" are definite clauses.

For example, for a book I want, "what I want" is a definite phrase that modifies "book". And the English word order is "book, a word like a connection, I want".

Clause. Second, a few important terms, taking "the book I want" as an example, "book" is called the antecedent, the connecting word in the middle is called the relative word, and "I want" is called the definite clause.

Clause. 3. It is very important to grasp the components made by the antecedent in the clause! There is a ** in the textbook, and if you remember it, you will use it. Finally, I wish you success in your studies!

Mainly antecedents, relative pronouns, relative adverbs, sentence order, etc.
