在定语从句中，from where 和 from which 如何使用She stood at the window, _______ she could see the park faraway.from where是从某处......指大概的地方,而from which是从哪个......指具体的东西, which 不能代替地点，时间及原因from 有具体含义，用from where更加生动，形象，具体，且符合英语习惯用where时，语义模糊 1. They climbed to the top of the tower, from where they could see what was happening in the distance.2. China is the birthplace of kites, from where kiteflying spread to Japan.3. Soon after getting off his horse, the captain appeared at the second storey windows, from where he could see nothing but trees. 下马不久，上尉就出现在二楼的窗口了。
他从那里除了树木什么也没看到. 划线部分相当于 and from at the windows…不可变为from which…，可用where，但不如用from where更具体 4. She climbed up to the top of the hill, from where she could have a good view of the whole town. 她登上山顶，从那里她可以一览全城风光 划线部分相当于…, and from on the top of the hill或from on the top of which…, 不可变为from which，也可直接用where引导，但语义较为含糊，不如用from where更加生动、形象、具体5. We went up to the roof , from where we had a good view of the procession. 我们爬到屋顶，在那儿我们可以一览整个行进队伍. 划线部分可理解为and from on the top of the roof或from on the top of which，用from which是不对的，直接用where仍显不具体，不形象。
6、China is the birth place of kites, from where kiteflying spread to Japan, Korea, Thailand and India. 中国是风筝的故乡，在那里风筝传到日本、朝鲜、泰国和印度 这里from正与下文的spread to构成一个整体，可理解为from near/around this place，如若把from where换为 where显然是讲不通的，改成from which, 能够讲得通，但不太符合英语习惯7、The car stopped suddenly only a few inches from where I stood. 那辆小汽车就在我站的地方仅几英寸处忽然停下了引导状语从句） 这里的划线部分中where引导的是宾语从句，与from一起作地点状语从句特殊类型定语从句1.Is this factory _______ we visited last year? 2.Is this the factory-------we visited last year? A. where B in which C the one D which 分析：做1题首先要明白一个概念。
被定语从句修饰的名词前一般都有the， 因为它已被限定所以此题还原成陈述句应该是this factory is______ we visited last year. 而不是this is factory ______ we visited last year.不能选A, B, D因为句子没有先行词所以答案是C从句前省略了关系代词that/which 2题先行词是the factory,在从句中做宾语,关系代词that/which/省略．3. This is the last time _________ I shall give you a lesson. A. when B that C which D in which 分析：答案是B此处time是次数因此用that引导 4.I don’t like the way ________ you laugh at her. A . that B on which C which D as 分析：此题先行词是the way，是方式的意思,还原到定语从句中做状语 you laugh at her in the way。
关系代词可选用that/in which/省略 way/time的特殊用法 Way 当先行词是way意思为”方式.方法”的时候,引导定语从句的关系词有下列3种形式： Way在从句中做宾语 The way that which he explained to us is quite simple. Way在从句中做状语 The way that in which he explained the sentence to us is quite simple. 5.He didn’t understand the way----- I worked out the problem. A which B in which C where D what 分析：还原the way到从句中,I worked out the problem in the way, 做状语,因此选择B ． Time 当先行词是time时,若time表示次数时,应用关系代词that引导定语从句,that可以省略; 若time表示”一段时间”讲时,应用关系副词when或介词at/during + which引导定语从句 6.I could hardly remember how many times----I’ve failed. A that B which C in which D when 分析：此处time表示次数,因此选择A7.This is the second time--------the president has visited the country. A which B where C that D in which 分析：此处time表示次数,因此选择C8.This was at a time------there were no televisions, no computers or radios. A what B when C which D that 分析：此处time指的是一段时间,曾经有一段时间,既没有电视,电脑,也没有收音机.因此选择B. II．表示 in the case/point/situation, 译为：在这种情况，情形，情况下，要用where引导定语从句。
例如： We are worried about the current situation in Syria, where hundreds of people are killed or injured every week.case. situation 用where或 in whichpoint看具体情况， 指时间用when 地点用where , 不确定 随便用when还是whereWe will discuss a number of cases ( ) beginners of English fail to use the language preperly.A.which B.as C.why D.where2.He was driving so fast as to get himself into a dangerous situation ( )he is likely to lose the control over his car.A.which B.as C.why D.where两道题都选whereIII．先行词是表示地点或时间或原因的词时，其后不一定用where，when，或why，也可能用that或which，关键看先行词在从句中的作用，如果先行词在从句中作主语或宾语(动宾或介宾)时，定语从句的引导词必须用that或which(作宾语还能省略)；如果先行词在从句中作状语时，定语从句的引导词才可用where, when或why.A.*the factory (that/which) we visited last year(先行词作及物动词visit的宾语) *the factory where his father worked(work是不及物动词，不需要宾语，故用where作状语) *the factory (which/that) his father worked in(从句中有介词in, 故用which/that,或不填) *the market which/that sells children’s clothes(先行词在从句中作主语且不能省，故用which或that)*the market where we can buy children’s clothes(从句中不缺主语和宾语，先行词只能作状语，故用where)**the market (which/that) we can buy children’s clothes in(从句中有介词in, 故用which/that,或不填)B.*those days when we worked together(从句中不缺主语和宾语，先行词days只能作状语，故用when)*those days (that/which) we spent together(spend是及物动词，从句中缺少宾语，故用that/which或省略)C.*the reason why he didn’t come(从句中不缺主语和宾语，先行词reason只能作状语，故用why) *the reason (that/which) he explained to us(explain是及物动词，从句中缺少宾语，故用that/which或省略)所以，做这类题目时，首先必须清楚什么动词是及物的，什么是不及物的；其次看定语从句是否缺少主语或宾语，如果缺主语或宾语，就必须用关系代词which或that；在确定从句不缺主语或宾语后，才能考虑用where，when或why，切记IV．关系代词a。
