3 语法
定语从句
3.1 含义
含义：一个句子做定语，修饰限定名词。（是形容词修饰无法表达了，需要用一个句子去修饰，所以用定语从句）
3.2 位置
位置：跟在所修饰的名词后
3.3 写法
写法：推倒的小红旗。
这是一份我梦想了很多年的工作
A ：This is the job.
B：T have dreamed of the job for years.
步骤：
1 写两个句子，确定主从句。A主，B从。
2 找到相同点(the job)。英语中有一个原则是避免重复。避免重复的办法：1 去掉，2 替换。the job 替换成为 which
A ：This is the job.
B：I have dreamed of which for years.
3 将which 放到从句得句首，起到胶水的作用，将主句和从句粘贴在一起。
This is the job which I have dreamed of for years.
1 which 叫做关系词/引导词
2 the job 叫做先行词。
结论：
1 所有定语从句的关系词，在从句中都做成分。
2 先行词等于关系词。（因为the job(A) = the job(B), the job(B) = which (B) ;，所以 the job(A) = which(B)）
3 关系词做什么成分。可以采用还原法，因为先行词等于关系词。whic = the job。把the job 放回到从句中放到合适的位置。the job在从句中是什么位置，关系词就做什么成分。这里the job 是做介词of 的宾语。
写法：
1 放在修饰的名词后，先写陈述句。
2 在选择关系词。关系词怎么选择【看先行词】
先行词，关系词对应关系
注意：that 即能指认，有指物。
关系词的几点注意：
1 定语从句的关系词每一个都作成分，包括that.
2 whom 指人，只能做宾语使用。
3 when/where/why 引导定语从句，必须和先行词意思匹配。
4 关系词在定语从句中宾语，可以省略。
e.g
I have a class which/that begins at 8:00 am.
分析：
1 选择关系词： a class 是物，所以关系词用which/that
2 判断关系词在句子中的成分（还原代入法）：a class = which/that，
从句 a class begins at 8:00. 可以看到关系词which/that 在从句中做主语，所以不能省略。
The lawyer _my brother called didn’t answer the phone.
分析
1 选择关系词：the lawyer 是人，所以关系词可以用 who,that
2 判断关系词在句子中的成分（还原代入法）：my brother called the lawyer。因为the lawyer 做宾语，所以也可以用whom。
因为关系词做宾语，所以这里可以省略关系词。也可以选择 who/that/whom (4中答案 who/that/whom/省略)
My daughter asked me a question _ I couldn’t answer.
分析
1 选择关系词：a question是物，所以关系词可以用 which/that
2 判断关系词在句子中的成分（还原代入法）：I couldn’t answer a question。因为a question 做宾语。
因为关系词做宾语，所以这里可以省略关系词。也可以选择 which/that (3 种答案 which/that/省略)
Leo is the student _ bike was stolen.
1 选择关系词：什么的bike，这里可以判断出是名词所有格，所以用whose。
Australia is one of the few countries _ people drive on the left.
选择关系词：contries是地点，所以用where
Sunday is the day _ people usually don’t go to work.
选择关系词 the day 是时间，when
Is there any particular reason _ you can’t come。
先行词reason，用why
