Section Three
定语、定语从句初探
一般来说，修饰名词作定语的常见形式为形容词、短语（ 形容词短语、介词短语等）。如：
a beautiful girl
a girl in front of me
a tree 4 meters tall
那么一个句子放在名词后面作定语当然就是定语从句了，只不过这个从句和那个名词之间要有一个纽带即连接词，在定语从句中叫关系词，被修饰的名词放在从句之前，先行一步，被叫做先行词。
由此可见定语从句的存在要有三个要素即：先行词、关系词、定语从句。如：
The girl who is standing in front of me is my sister.
注意：(1) 一定要有先行词，否则定语从句则是“无水之源”。看着句话对吗？Is this girl who you talked of just now?
(2) 关系词分类及作用
关系词可分为关系代词who, whom, whose, that, which 和关系副词where, when, why等。
关系词的作用重大: A. 起连接作用。B.代替先行词。C.在定语从句中充当成分。

5. V-ing 作状语
分词短语常在句中作状语表示动作发生的时间、原因、伴随等。分词作状语时，它的逻辑主语往往是这个句子的主语，应注意句子的主语和分词之间的关系。如主语是分词动作的执行者，应用现在分词；而主语如是动作的承受者，应用过去分词。
