定语从句语法错误分析
定语从句是高中英语的重点,也是历年来高考的热点,仅“3+综合”NMET 2001单项填空中直接考定语从句的题就有2道,占该题型的13%。但是,由于定语从句的结构和用法比较复杂,初学者在使用时往往容易犯一些错误,最常见的有如下七种: 一、在定语从句中加了多余的定语。如: 1.误:Some of the boys I invited them didn’t come. 正:Some of the boys I invited didn’t come. 译:我邀请的男孩中有几个没有来。 析:应删去them,因为从句的宾语是省略了的whom, who或that。 2.误:The book that you need it is in the library. 正:The book that you need is in the library. 译:你需要的书在图书馆里。 析:应删去it,因为从句的宾语是关系代词that。 二、把定语从句谓语动词的单、复数弄错。如: 1.误:Anyone who break the law will be punished. 正:Anyone who breaks the law will be punished. 译:任何违犯法律的人将被处罚。 析:应改break为breaks,因为who指anyone,是单数。 2.误:Those who has finished may go home. 正:Those who have finished may go home. 译:做完了的人现在可以回家。 析:应改has为have,因为who指those,是复数。 3.误:He is the only one of the teachers who know French in our school. 正:He is the only one of the teachers who knows French in our school. 译:他是我们学校中唯一懂法语的人。 析:应改know为knows,因为one前有the only之类限定词,定语从句在意义上修饰的是the only one,是单数,而不是复数名词the teachers。 4.误:This is one of the rooms that is free now. 正:This is one of the rooms that are free now. 译:这是目前空着的房间之一。 析:应改is为are,因为one前没有the only之类的限定词,定语从句在意义上修饰的是名词复数the rooms,而不是单数one。 三、误省略了定语从句中作主语的关系代词。如: 1.误:Children eat a lot of sugar often have bad teeth. 正:Children who/?that eat a lot of sugar often have bad teeth. 译:吃糖多的孩子往往牙齿不好。 析:应加上关系代词who或that,因为从句少主语,且主语不能省略。 2.误:The key opens the bike is missing. 正:The key that/which opens the bike is missing. 译:开这辆自行车的钥匙不见了。 析:应加上关系代词that或which,因为从句少主语,且主语不能省略。 四、定语从句中加了多余的关系副词或介词。如: 1.误:The house where he lives in needs repairing. 正:The house where he lives needs repairing. 或:The house he lives in needs repairing. 译:他住的房子需要修理。 析:应保留where,删去从句中的in,因为关系副词where在从句中作地点状语,in属多余。或删去关系副词where,因为where在这里的意思是in which,否则介词in就重复了。
