2、规则2:若先行词是人,关系词在从句中充当主语时用who,充当宾语时用whom(关系词在从句中作宾语时可以省略):
The man is my teacher who speaks fluent English.
The woman (whom) I interviewed is a great scientist.
3、规则3:当先行词与从句中某个名词有所属关系,表达“…的”意思,定于从句引导词用whose:

限定性定从/非限定性定从
1、限定性定从:主句和从句之间无逗号隔开,先行词范围模糊,一定需要修饰或界定:
I don’t like people who are never on time.
2、非限定性定从:主句和从句之间有逗号隔开,先行词范围明确,从句只起补充说明作用:
Einstein,who was a great scientist,created the theory of relativity.
3、注意:当先行词为以下情况,其后只能接非限定性定从:
(1)先行词时具有唯一性的名词或代词(如sun、moon、mother):
His mother,who graduated from Harvard,is his role model.
(2)先行词是专有名词(如人名,地名,公司名等):
Jason works at Google,which is a world famous company.
(3)先行词是一个句子(此时引导词只能用which或as):
He was late for an hour,which annoyed his girlfriend.
As we all know,James is a famous player. -
介词提前的定语从句
关系词只能用which或whom:
She is the actress about whom we talked just now.
The environment in which we live is polluted.
Here is a pen with which you can sign your name.
Mr.Smith is the person to whom you should apologize. -
定语从句的分隔情况

关系词的特殊用法
1、不管先行词是人还是物,在从句中作主语还是宾语,都可用that
2、有些情况,只能用that:
(1)说法绝对:先行词出现绝对性描述,如the only,everyone,everything,all,none,anything,anyone
(2)当先行词前有序数词时,如the first,the seconed,the last
(3)先行词前有形容词最高级修饰时
(4)人物并现
3、以下两种特殊情况不能使用that:
(1)that不能引导非限定性定语从句
(2)定于从句前面有介词时,关系词不能用that
