作宾语 ③He didn’t become the person who his father wanted him to be.他没有成为他父亲希望的那种人。

注意：whom在从句中作介词的宾语，且介词提到whom前面时，不能用who代替。

4. whose的用法

whose在从句中作定语，可以指人也可以指物。

①The girl whose father is a teacher studies very hard. 这个女孩学习很努力，她的父亲是教师。 指人 ②We have English classes in the classroom whose door is broken.我们在那个门坏了的教室上英语课。

指物

四、限制性定语从句及非限制性定语从句

根据定语从句与先行词的关系，定语从句可分为限制性定语从句及非限制性定语从句。限制性定语从句紧跟先行词，主句与从句不用逗号分开，从句不可省去，非限制性定语从句主句与从句之间有逗号分开，起补充说明作用，如省去，意思仍完整。

1. 限制性定语从句：主句和从句不隔开，从句不能省略，否则就会失掉意义不能成立。如：①He is reading a book which is too difficult for him.

②Here is the boy who damaged the glass.

2. 非限制性定语从句：主句和从句用逗号隔开，从句对修饰的部分起到进一步说明的作用，拿掉后其它部分的语意仍保持完整。如： ①The book is written by Guo Jinming,who is only 19 years old. ②Bob’s father, who was an engineer, spent 4 years in Egypt.

③Shanghai, which is developing fast, has become one of world’s trade centers. 【注意】：

非限制性定语从句不能用that引导

①She is very fond of French, which indeed she speaks quite well.

which还可以用来指代上文中的一件事情

①Their house is washed away by the floods, which made them very sad. ②He lost his job finally, which was exactly what we wanted.

五、关系代词的省略

引导限制性宾语从句的关系代词在作宾语、表语时可以省略，但作主语和引导非限制性定语从句时，关系代词不可省略。

①I have been the city twice（which/that）you just visited.你刚参观完的那座城市，我去过两次。
