Teaching Procedures: Step 1 Presentation Purpose: To get Ss to know the teaching content of Grammar Show the following contents on blackboard or PowerPoint. Attributive clauses 一、定語從句要點(diǎn)簡述 ★概念: He is the boy who often goes to school late. 先行詞 關(guān)系詞 定語從句 ★原則：a.定語從句必須緊緊地跟在先行詞后面，限制修飾先行詞。 b.定語從句必須用關(guān)系詞來引導(dǎo)。 c.關(guān)系詞在定語從句中作一個句子成分. ★擴(kuò)大. She is the old woman whom I saw this morning. Mary is the girl whose parents work in Japan. Is this the key which you are looking for? October 1, 1949 is the day when New China was founded. This is the house where the great man was born. I don’t know the reason why she looks unhappy today. ★下列定語從句只能用that來引導(dǎo)： 1.先行詞為形容詞最高級所修飾 This is the longest bridge that I have ever seen. 2.先行詞為序數(shù)詞所修飾 I happened to be the thousandth guest that visited the great hotel. This is the first composition that he has ever written in English. 3.先行詞既包括人又包括物 They talked of things and persons that happened in the school. He talked about the teachers and schools that he had visited. 4.主句是who或which開頭的特殊疑問句中的定語從句 Who is the man that came this morning? Which is the bag that you lost? 5.先行詞為the only, the very, the last, the same所修飾的定語從句 He is the very person that the police are looking for. This is the only thing that I can remember. 6.先行詞是everything, nothing, something, all, little, much, everybody等不定代詞 Tell us everything that you know, please. Is there anything that you don’t understand? 7.先行詞被all, every, no, some, any, little, much修飾時 All that glitters is not gold. I’ve read all the books that you gave me. ★“介詞+ 關(guān)系詞” 及關(guān)系副詞when, where, why 1). The box is full of bottles. He is standing on the box. ----> The box on which he is standing is full of bottles. The box where he is standing is full of bottles. 2). This is the train. We work on the train. ---->This is the train on which we work. This is the train where we work. 3). I know the reason. She did it for the reason. ---->I know the reason for which she did it. I know the reason why she did it. 4). The man is our school master. You shook hands with the man just now. ----> The man with whom you shook hands is our schoolmaster. 5). The pen is made in Shanghai. She is writing with the pen. ----> The pen with which she is writing is made in Shanghai. 不能拆開的詞組： look for / look after / catch hold of /take care of / put on / take off……. ★非限制性定語從句只對先行詞起補(bǔ)充，說明的作用，常用逗號分開。關(guān)系代詞用who(m), which，關(guān)系副詞用where ,when. 非限制性定語從句不能用that來引導(dǎo). This was the American Civil War, which lasted 4 years before the North won in the end. He was taken to another room, where he found a wounded boy, who was dying. ★as 作為關(guān)系代詞， 習(xí)慣上用于下列詞組： the same....as such ...as as ... as， so…as 1. Take as many books as you want. 2. Here is so big a stone as no man can lift. 3. He read such books as will make him wiser. 4. The town is about the same distance from Nanjing as Yangzhou is. As 用于非限制性定語從句，常見以下句型： as you know, as we have seen, as is known to all, as anybody can see, as was expected, as we can imagine, as has been pointed out as與which的用法區(qū)別：as與 which在非限制性定語從句中，都可指代整個主句，但as引導(dǎo)的從句可放在主句的句首, 句中或句尾， 而 which引導(dǎo)的從句只可放在主句的句尾 As we have seen, oceans cover more than 70 percent of the earth. Oceans cover more than 70 percent of the earth, as we have seen. She was awarded a gold medal, which the whole family considered a great honour. ★ the same…as, the same …that 的區(qū)別 This is the same bag as I lost yesterday. （相似的事物） I am wearing the same coat that I wore yesterday. （同一事物） ★ 定語從句和同位語從句的區(qū)別: 定語從句相當(dāng)于形容詞作定語， 對先行詞加以限制或修飾，同位語從句相當(dāng)于名詞，對先行詞加以補(bǔ)充或說明，連接詞that在定語從句中充當(dāng)某個成分，而that在同位語從句不充當(dāng)句子成分. The promise that my uncle gave me made us happy. （定語從句） The promise that my uncle would give me a new bike made us happy. (同位語從句) The news that they had won came. ★ 關(guān)系代詞what和that, which的區(qū)別: 先比較下列句子中的what和that: He told us the things that he had seen. --> He told us what he had seen. This is the words which I said. --> This is what I said. 可以看出what 實(shí)際上等于是 “the thing that(which)”, 即 “先行詞+關(guān)系詞”. 因此在句中如果已有先行詞，則不能用what，而只能用that(which)，如沒有先行詞，則用what。what是 一個沒有先行詞的關(guān)系詞。 2、Examples 1. Is this museum ___ you visited a few days age? A. where　B. that　 C. on which　 D. the one 2. Is this the museum ____ the exhibition was held. A. where　　B. that　 C. on which　　D. the one 答案：1 D，2 A 例1變?yōu)榭隙ň洌?This museum is ___ you visited a few days ago. 例2變?yōu)榭隙ň洌?This is the museum ___ the exhibition was held. 在句1中，所缺部分為賓語，而where, that, on which都不能起到賓語的作用，只有the one既做了主句的表語，又可做從句的賓語，可以省略關(guān)系代詞，所以應(yīng)選D。 而句2中, 主、謂、賓俱全，從句部分為句子的狀語表地點(diǎn)，既可用副詞where，又因 in the museum詞組，可用介詞in + which 引導(dǎo)地點(diǎn)狀語。而此題中，介詞on 用的不對，所以選A。 Step 2 Practice Purpose: To get Ss to have knowledge of the grammar through exercises.
