(1) 關(guān)系代詞who,whom,whose,that,which的用法
英語中的關(guān)系代詞有who,whom,whose,that,which,它們是用來引導(dǎo)定語從句的.關(guān)系代詞既代表定語從句所修飾的詞,又在其所引導(dǎo)的從句中承擔(dān)一個成分,如主語、賓語、表語或定語.如：

失去父母的孩子是孤兒.(whose在從句中作定語,它的先行詞是child)

他想要個窗戶面臨大海的房間.(whose在從句中作定語,它的先行詞是room)

[1] who,whom和whose
who和whom代表人,在從句中作主語時用who,作賓語時用whom,可省略.但若whom作介詞賓語且介詞放在其前時,不能省略;如介詞位于句末時,可以省略.whose代表某人的,在從句中作定語.如：

(3) 沒有先行詞的關(guān)系代詞
如果關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)的從句不是作定語修飾先行詞而是充當(dāng)句子成分,這種關(guān)系代詞就沒有先行詞,它只起連接作用.這種關(guān)系代詞有：what,whatever,whoever,whichever,wherever等.如：
