that的先行词是人或物,在定语从句中作主语、宾语或表语。
主要特点有:
①that在定语从句中作主语时不省略,作宾语时可以省略;
②that不引导非限制性定语从句;
③that前不加介词
例子Theforeigners that visited our school yesterday are from Canada.
昨天参观我们学校的外国人来自加拿大。(that代替人作主语)
只能用that引导定语从句的情况:
①先行词被序数词或形容词最高级修饰;
②先行词是不定代词all, the one, everything等;
③先行词被 any , the only , the last等修饰;
④先行词既指人又指物时。
例子Alice is the only person ( that ) I can trustin the office.
爱丽丝是办公室里我唯一信任的人。(先行词被the only修饰只用that)
