1. 定语从句
在复合句中修饰名词或代词、作定语的句子叫定语从句。
引导定语从句的词叫关系词,包括关系代词和关系副词。定语从句所修饰的词叫“先行词”,因为它总是处在定语从句的前面,比定语从句先行一步。
(1) 关系代词:
who, which, that作从句的主语
whom, which, that作从句的宾语(可省略)
whose作从句的定语
例如:
He is the man who helped us out of trouble two days ago.
Where is the pen that / which was sent by my uncle?
The film star (whom) we like will come to the city next week.
The book (which / that) I bought yesterday is interesting.
【注意】
① 以下情况只能用that,不能用which:
a. 先行词为不定代词all, little, none, any, every, no, much, anything, nothing;
b. 先行词有最高级和序数词修饰时(包括the only, the very, the same, the last, the next等);
c. 先行词既有人又有物。
② 以下情况只能用which,不能用that:
a. 引导非限制性定语从句(包括代表整个主句的意思时);
b. 关系代词表示整个主句的内容时。

The moon moves around the earth, which / as we all know.
c. 介词 + 关系代词的结构。

例如:
Wuhan is a good place which I know very much.
Wuhan is a good place where I have been living.
Wuhan is a good place where I really want to go.

2. 短语动词
(1) 短语动词的构成
英语中的动词,按其构成,可分为单词动词和短语动词。短语动词指由两个或两个以上单词构成的动词。这种动词主要有三种组合形式:
① 动词+介词,例如:take after(长得像……)。
② 动词+副词,例如:cheer up(使振奋;使高兴)。
③ 动词+副词+介词,例如:come up with(想起)。
在“动词+副词+介词”的组合中,短语动词只能看作是一个动词,绝对不能拆开。另外,还需要注意的是,以上三类短语动词都是一些固定搭配,这些短语动词与某些非固定搭配是有区别的。试比较:
a. The lights went out.
b. He put on his coat and went out.
a句中的went out(熄灭)是由“动词+副词”构成的短语动词。b句中的went out(出去)不是短语动词,went是动词,out是副词,作状语。
④ 动词 + 名词 + 介词,例如:take care of (照顾)。
(2) 及物与不及物短语动词
由动词和副词构成的短语动词有的起及物动词的作用,有的起不及物动词的作用。短语动词是及物的还是不及物的主要取决于短语动词的意思。因为一个短语动词可能具有两个或几个不同的意思,用作某个或某几个意思时可能是及物的,用作其他意思时又可能是不及物的。
例如:
He took off his coat when he entered the house and put it on again when he went out. (take off是及物短语动词)
At airports people can watch the planes taking off and landing.(take off是不及物短语动词)
【中考链接】

A. put up B. give up
C. pick up D. look up

【解析】此题考查短语动词的辨析。句意:也许这是人们戒烟的好机会。put up意为“搭起”,give up意为“放弃”,pick up意为“捡起”,look up意为“查询”,只有give up符合句意。
3. 过去完成时
(1) 过去完成时的概念
过去完成时表示在过去的某个时间以前已经发生的动作或存在的状态,即“过去的过去”,也可以指过去的动作延续到过去的某时。
(2) 过去完成时的构成形式
had + 动词的过去分词(had通用于任何人称)
(3) 过去完成时的用法
① 常与by the end of及by the time等引导的从句连用。
例如:
By the end of last term, we had learned 1600 English words.
② 常与when, before, after, until等引导的时间状语从句连用,其中从句的谓语动词用一般过去式。
例如:
They had finished their work before we arrived.
It had stopped raining when I woke up.
③ 表示从过去某一时间开始持续到过去另一时间的动作或状态,常与“for + 时间段”,“since + 时间点 / 从句”连用。在肯定句中,谓语动词用延续性动词。
例如:
The film had been on for half an hour when we arrived at the cinema.
Mr. Gao had worked in the school since it opened in 1995.
④ 如果时间状语从句的动作发生在主句之间,则从句可用过去完成时。
例如:
After I had finished my homework, I went to bed.
⑤ 当主句的谓语动词为said, asked, told, though等时,宾语从句常用过去完成时。
例如:
He asked me why I had been late.
⑥ 在含有定语从句的复合句中,如果叙述的是过去的事情,先发生的动作常用过去完成时。
例如:
I returned the books that I had borrowed from the library.
4. 宾语从句
(1) 宾语从句是一种名词性从句,在句中作及物动词的宾语,或介词的宾语。
① 由that引导的宾语从句。此时that只有语法作用,没有实际的意义,在口语和非正式文体中可以省略。
例如:
I am sure (that) he will succeed.
② 由if或whether引导的宾语从句。if和whether在句中的意思是“是否”。endprint
例如:
He asked me whether (if) I could help him.
③ 由连接代词who, whom, whose, what, which和连接副词when, where, why, how引导的宾语从句。这些连接代词和连接副词在宾语从句中充当某个成分。
例如:
Do you know who (whom) they are waiting for?
(2) 宾语从句的语序应为陈述句的语序。
例如:
I think (that) you will like this school soon.
应特别注意以下陈述句式的区别:
① She asked what was the matter with him?
② Can you tell us what is on the desk?
③ Teachers know what all the students are doing in class.
当疑问词在句中作主语时,疑问句式不变,而其他情况一般都要变成陈述句式。
(3) 宾语从句的时态:
① 如果主句的时态是一般现在时,宾语从句则可根据实际情况而定。
例如:
I dont think (that) you are right.
Please tell us where he is.
② 如果主句的时态是一般过去时,宾语从句只能用相应的过去时态(一般过去时、过去进行时、过去将来时、过去完成时等)。
例如:
He asked what time it was.
He said that he would go back to the U.S. soon.
③ 如果宾语从句所陈述的是客观真理,其时态常用一般现在时。
例如:
Our teacher said that January is the first month of the year.
Scientists have proved that the earth turns around the sun.
