關(guān)系代詞的概念:
英語(yǔ)中的關(guān)系代詞有who, whom, whose, that, which, 它們是用來(lái)引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句的。關(guān)系代詞既代表定語(yǔ)從句所修飾的詞,又在其所引導(dǎo)的從句中承擔(dān)一個(gè)成分,如主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)、表語(yǔ)、或定語(yǔ)。
如:This is the man who saved your son. (who在從句中作主語(yǔ),先行詞是man)
The man whom I met yesterday is Jim.
A child whose parents are dead is an orphan.
He wants a room whose window looks out over the sea.
關(guān)系代詞用法:

關(guān)系代詞用法拓展:

如:The man(that, who, whom) you met just now is called Jim. 你剛遇見的那個(gè)人叫吉姆。
不過(guò),在以下幾種情況值得注意:
(1)直接跟在介詞后面作賓語(yǔ)時(shí),只能用whom,而且不能省略:
如:She brought with her three friends, none of whom I had ever met before. 她帶了3個(gè)朋友來(lái),我以前都沒(méi)見過(guò)。
(2)引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句且作賓語(yǔ)時(shí),who和whom均可用,但以用whom為佳,此時(shí)也不能省略:
如:This is Jack, who[whom] you haven't met before. 這是杰克,你以前沒(méi)見過(guò)。
