定语从句抽象地点

定语从句中,表示抽象地点的先行词有哪些。

where

in which

at which on which

等等 介词+which 的结构

抽象地点名词的定语从句什么该用where,什么时候该用which

你要去哪里?- Where are you going?

你选择去哪个地方旅游? - Which place do you want to visit?

定语从句的先行词是condition,case,point,stage等抽象名词用which还是where

where

case, condition, situation, position, point, stage

等名词后接where引出的定语从句小议

不久前,下面这道题引发了我们对stage作先行词之后的定语从句引导词的问题以及其它类似定于从句的探讨,

先看一道题:

the conflict had developed into a stage ______ the two countries were gathering big troops on the border.

(2009学年第二学期浙东北(zdb)三校期中联考高二英语试卷(2010.05)) a. where b. when c. which d. that

本题到底是选a还是选b?关键问题在于对先行词stage的理解,根据《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》(第七版)简作(oald)的解析:stage: a period of state that sb./sth. passes through while developing or making progress. 既可以理解为事件“(进展或进展的)阶段, 状态”; 又可以理解为“时期”。而上题中作“阶段”或“时期”都理解的通。 再看stage的用法;

*stage名词 n. [c]

1.舞台

some girls are dancing on the stage. 一些女孩在舞台上跳舞。

2.注意中心,活动舞台,场所

3.(进展的)阶段;时期

a caterpillar must pass through the cocoon stage to become a butterfly.

表示这些意思时,当stage作先行词后有定语从句时,。

例句:1.表地点: the stage where the girls are going to dance is in the gym.

2.表时期: the stage when he is preparing for his study is really important.

不同的叙述:

①当先行词为case,condition,situation,position,point,stage等名词,表示情况、方面、处境时用关系副词where.

②当先行词是case, condition, situation, position, point, stage 等名词时,表示情况、方面、处境时,用关系副词where.但先行词是occasion时,用关系副词when.

③当 situation, condition, stage, point,scenes 做先行词时,用 where 引导定语从句

④先行词通常是 time, day, season, age, occasion 等时间名词时其后的定语从句用when引导.

事实上, 当先行词 occasion, point, stage等名词是表示时间节点的时候,其后的定语从句就用when引导,在从句中作时间状语. 例如:

1. i can remember very few occasions when he had to cancel because of ill health.(oald)

我记得他因健康不佳而被迫取消的情况绝无仅有。when引导定语从句,在从句中作时间状语.

2.(2008·山东·26) occasions are quite rare ___________i have the time to spend a da......余下全文>>

在英语语法中,什么是抽象意义的地点状语

介词+抽象意义的地点名词组成的地点状语就是抽象意义的地点状语。常见的抽象地点名词有:point, case, activity, situation, position, occasion, job, race, letter, platform, email, policy,environment等等。这些词做先行词时用where 引导定语从句。但要注意的是,当这些词作先行词在从句中作宾语或表语时,用that which。如:

We can't assume anything in this case. 在这种情况下我们不可能做出假设。

You can't drive in that condition. 你这种状态不能开车。

What you said on the occasion was not appropriate. 在这种场合你说这样的话是不相宜的。

You reach a point where medicine can't help. 你已到了药物无法治疗的地步。

He got into a situation where it is hard to decide what is right and wrong.他陷入一种难以分辨是非的局面。

It's put me in a position where I can‟t af-ford to take the job. 这使我陷入一种不能接受此工作的境地。

Yesterday my aunt sent me an email where she told me she would come to see me next week. 昨天我婶婶给我发来一个电子邮件,告诉我她下周要来看我。

Today, we'll discuss a number of cases where beginners of English fail to use the language properly. 今天,我们将讨论一些英语初学者对英语使用不当的问题。
