除了用單詞或短語來形容名詞外,還可以用從句來形容,那些從句
稱為「形容詞從句」Adjective Clause;而被形容的名詞,稱為
「先行詞」Antecedent。
例如:
We need fearless men.﹝單詞形容 "men"﹞
We need men without fear.﹝短語形容 "men"﹞
We need men who are fearless. ﹝從句形容 "men"﹞
把形容詞從句附屬到主句身上的詞有三種:
(1) 關係代名詞 Relative Pronoun
(2) 關係形容詞 Relative Adjective
(3) 關係副詞 Relative Adverb
1. 關係代名詞 Relative Pronoun
有:(1) who﹝代人﹞;(2) whom﹝代人﹞;(3) which﹝代物﹞;
(4) that﹝代人或物﹞;(5) as﹝代人或物﹞
例如:
The two men who are in that house are my uncles.
* 關係代名詞 "who" 的身和數由先行詞 "men" 決定。
This is the man who showed me the way.
There is somebody who wants you on the telephone.
﹝有人想你接聽電話。﹞
* 在 "there is" 結構後面的形容詞從句,當主語的 "who" 可隱藏,即:
There is somebody wants you on the telephone.
The girl whom you saw is her sister-in-law.
* 當關係代名詞在形容詞從句中作賓語時,可隱藏,即:
The girl you saw is her sister-in-law.
Whom do you mean? 或 Who do you mean?
I know the man whom you mean. 或
I know the man who you mean.
﹝我認識你所意指的那個人。﹞
* 可隱藏 "whom" 或 "who",即:I know the man you mean.
The woman for whom you wrote a letter yesterday is my aunt.
﹝你昨天替她寫信的婦人是我的伯母。﹞
