1)介词与先行词的习惯搭配
Thereisnowayinwhichitcouldbebroughtbacktotheearth.(SEFC2AL.55)(in与way是习惯搭配)
2)介词与定语从句中的动词,形容词的习惯搭配
Thesearethewireswithwhichdifferentmachinesareconnected.(beconnectedwith是习惯搭配)
Theauthorwithwhomallofusarefamiliarwillvisitourcompa-ny.(befamiliarwith是习惯搭配)
3)同形的先行词,或定语从句中的动词,形容词表示不同的含义时,要根据其含义选用不同的介词。
Ican'tremembertheageatwhichhewontheprize.
Thatistheageinwhichpeopleliveinpeaceandhappiness.
age在前句中意为“年岁”,与at搭配;在后句中意为“时期”,与in搭配。
4)复杂介词须保持其完整形式,常见的复杂介词有onthetopof,inthemiddleof,infrontof,inspiteof,atthebackof,becauseof等。
Wetookaphotoofrocket,thelengthofwhichwasabout30me-tres.(SEFC2AL.55)
Soundisatoolbymeansofwhichpeoplecommunicatewitheachother.
Theymarchedthroughthesquare,inthemiddleofwhichstoodamonument.
5)短语动词中的介词不可与动词分开提至关系代词前。常见的短语动词有listento,lookat,dependon,payattentionto,takecareof,lookinto,breakinto,getridof,takepartin,makeuseof,takeholdof,catchholdof,catchupwith,getalongwith,lookforwardto等。此时可用which,who,whom或that,也可将他们省略。
(误)Thisisthegirlofwhomhewilltakecare.
(正)Thisisthegirlwhomhewilltakecareof.
6)当介词与定语从句中的动词或形容词联系紧密(但不是短语动词)时,介词也可放在动词或形容词的后面。但当介词与从句中的动词或形容词联系不紧密时,则需将介词置于关系代词前。比较:
Thespacestationwhichwedrovetowasinthedesert.(SEFC2AL.55)
I'llneverforgetthedayinwhichIjoinedtheParty.
后句中若置于句尾则有“孤零零”之感,这时宜将介词置于关系代词前;而前句中的to则可后置。
5、关系代词的选择
用于介词后的关系代词只有which,whom,前者指物,后者指人。
Therearemanyresearchstationsontheearthinwhichouterspaceisstudied.(SEFC2AL.55)(which指代researchstations)
Wequestionedthepilot,fromwhomwelearntthatnootherplaneshadbeenseen.(SEFC2AL.55)(whom指代thepilot)
看了inwhich的用法的人还看了:
in which用于定语从句,作关系代词,在句中要做成分
in which用于定语从句,作关系副词,在句中不做成分,in which=where
in which只搜索能用在定语从句中,等于where,在定语从句中作状语。
如:He lived in the house in which tomonce lived.
定语从句中如
This is the room in which we stayed
先行词是room,后的句子是用来修饰room的
但是room不可做stay的成分,因为stay是不及物动词,后不可直接家宾语,所以要有个介词。
其实上述的句子
This is the room which we stayed in.
这里的介词是可以提到which前的
定语从句in which等的用法
in which,forwhich,onwhich,atwhich的不同用法
这些都是定语从句里面,由which引导的定语从句,介词提前。
1.in which可以等于when,也可以等于where,但不会等于why.
关键是看定语从句中缺少时间状语还是地点状语。
2、例如:
1)I'll never forget these days in/during which I stayed with you.
= I'll never forget these days when I stayed with you.
我永远不会忘记我和你待在一起的日子。
其中:in/during which I stayed with you = when I stayed with you
= I stayed with you in/during which = I stayed with you in/during these days
2)This is the city in which I stayed last year.
= This is the city where I stayed last year.
这就是那个去年我待的地方。
其中:where I stayed last year = in which I stayed last year
= I stayed in which last year = I stayed in the city last year.
3、另外,有的in which找不到合适的关系副词代替。
如:I dislike the way in which you treat me.
我不喜欢你对待我的方式。
其中:in which you treat me = you treat me in which
= you treat me in the way
4.for which = why
如:Can you tell me the reason why you were late?
= Can you tell me the reason for which you were late?
你能告诉我你迟到的原因吗?
其中:why you were late = for which you were late
= you were late for which = you were late for the reason
which用于定语从句,作关系代词,在句中要做成分
inwhich用于定语从句,作关系副词,在句中不做成分,inwhich=where
inwhich只搜索能用在定语从句中,等于where,在定语从句中作状语。
如:HelivedinthehouseinwhichTomoncelived.
HelivedinthehousewhereTomoncelived.
定语从句中。如
thisistheroominwhichwestayed
先行词是room,后的句子是用来修饰room的
但是room不可做stay的成分,因为stay是不及物动词,后不可直接家宾语
所以要有个介词。
其实上述的句子=
thisistheroomwhichwestayedin.
这里的介词是可以提到which前的
inwhich,forwhich,onwhich,atwhich的不同用法
这些都是定语从句里面,由which引导的定语从句,介词提前。
inwhich可以翻译成在……里面
forwhich可以翻译成为了……目的
onwhich可以翻译成在……的上面,或具体时间的某一天
atwhich可以翻译成在……里面或在……上面
这些介词的使用除了意思上的区别,具体是要以which引导的从句而定的。
例如:
(1)Theschool(that/which)heoncestudiedinisveryfamous.
=Theschoolinwhichheoncestudiedisveryfamous.
(2)TomorrowIwillbringhereamagazine(that/which)youaskedfor.
=TomorrowIwillbringhereamagazineforwhichyouasked.
(3)Ihaveadresserinmybedroom,whichtherearemanycosmeticson.
=Ihaveadresserinmybedroomonwhichtherearemanycosmetics.
(4)ThedumplingHousewhichheoftenhasdumplingsatisverypopular.
=ThedumplingHouseisverypopular,atwhichheoftenhasdumplings.
当然这只是介词作为基本意思的用法,还有一些固定搭配,得具体情况具体分析。例如:
Theplanemaybeseveralhourslate,inwhichcasethere’snopointinourwaiting.(固定搭配:inthecase)
Thespeakerpausedtoexaminehisnotes,atwhichpointaloudcrashwasheard.(固定搭配:atthepoint)
Tenyearsofhardworkchangedhergreatly,forwhichreasonhecouldhardlyrecognizeheratfirstsight.(固定搭配:forthereason)
ThefilmatwhichIfellasleepwasveryboring.
(Here"atwhich"isbasedon"fellasleepatthefilm"因为电影无聊而睡觉。)ThelittlecreatureinwhichscientistsareinterestedisknownasET.
(这里"beinterestedin"是词组原因)
Thisisthebookforwhichheislooking.
(即等于Thisisthebookwhichheislookingfor,这主要是因为lookfor这一短语)
例题:1.Ican’tbelievethattherestaurant,______Ihaveeatensuchwonderfulmeal,isgoingtobeclosedown.
A.whereB.atwhichC.aboutwhich
【解答】选B。这个是非限制性定语从句,atwhich在功能上等于where,但就本题而言只能选atwhich。因为atwhichIhaveeatensuchwonderfulmeal是一个插入语,where固然可以引导,但是由于前面有了一个逗号,就只能用atwhich了。“我难以相信我曾经在里面美美地吃过几顿大餐的饭店就要关张了。”非限制性定语从句主要就是先行词+逗号“,”+介词+which或者是先行词+逗号“,”+which,它和限定性定语从句的最显著区别一个是有逗号,一个是非限制定语从句总有which。
2.Windpowerisanancientsourceofenergy______wemayreturninnearfuture.
A.onwhichB.bywhichC.towhichD.fromwhich
【解答】选C。returnto其实,应该来说,就是一个固定搭配了,解释为回归到,但是呢,如果要说意思的话,也是说得通的,就是把句子换一换语序你就可以看出来了。“wemayreturntowindpowerinnearfuture.”也就是说,看到prep.+which这种形式,就可以直接把它扔到动词后面,然后在进行选择,看缺少哪个介词。
3.Wehavegatherednearly100,000quilts,_____uptohalfhavegonetoflood-hitareas.
A.withwhichB.inwhichC.forwhichD.ofwhich
【解答】选D。这里的which指的是,nearly100,000quilts(被褥),也就是说,后半句的主语是在这nearly100,000quilts里面的uptohalf。
例:Idon’tknowthereasonwhy/forwhichhedidit.
Thereasonwhy/forwhichhewasfiredwasnotclear.
TherearemanycountriesinAsia,ofwhichChinaisthelargestone.
亚洲有很多国家,中国是最大的一个。
附:whose和ofwhich的区别
1、关系代词whose,引导定语从句时,既可指人,又可指物,在从句中只能作定语;ofwhom只能指人;ofwhich只能指物,有时whose可以与ofwhom和ofwhich互换使用。如:
ThegirlwhosehairisgoldenisfromEngland.头发金色的那个女孩是英国人。
Thehousewhosedoors(ofwhichthedoors)aregreenisanofficebuilding.门是绿色的那座房子是办公楼。
2、“介词+whose+名词”引导定语从句。如:
Ilovemymotherland,forwhosegoodfutureIwillworkhard.我爱我的祖国,为了她美好的未来我要努力工作。
3、在下列情况下,一般只用ofwhom和ofwhich。
(1)定语从句的主语是few,little,some,most,many,much等时,一般只用ofwhom和ofwhich。
Intheroomarelotsofpeople,manyofwhomIdon’tknow.房间里有很多人,很多人我不认识。
Hehasalotofstory-books,afewofwhichIhaveneverread.他有很多故事书,有几本故事书我还从未看过。
(2)定语从句的主语是数词、形容词的最高级时,一般只用ofwhom和ofwhich。如:
Theoldmanhasthreechildren,twoofwhomarecollegestudentsandoneofwhomisamanager.那个老人有三个小孩,其中两个是大学生,另一个是经理。
(3)定语从句的主语是all,none,both,neither,each等不定代词时,一般只用ofwhom和ofwhich。如:
Therearefiftystudentsinourclass,allofwhomareworkinghard.我们班有五十个学生,所有这五十个学生学习都刻苦。
Heplantedtwotreeslastyear,bothofwhicharegrowingwell.去年他栽了两棵树,这两棵树都长得好。
(4)在定语从句中作表语的定语时,一般只用ofwhom和ofwhich。如:
Hehasthreebrothers,ofwhomLiLeiistheyoungestone.它有三兄弟,李雷是他们中最小的一个。
TherearemanycountriesinAsia,ofwhichChinaisthelargestone.亚洲有很多国家,中国是最大的一个。
(5)形式不同。如:
Thehousewindowsfacesouthisourreading-room.
A.ofwhichB.whoseC.whichD.its
【解答】此题正确答案是B,不能选择A。选择ofwhich时应在名词前加上定冠词the,也就是名词前有the就只能用ofwhich。如果名词前没有冠词,就用whose。若上题改为Thehousethewindowsfacesouthisourreading-room,则此题只能选A不能选B了。
(6)ofwhich除了可以表示所属关系外,还可以用来表示整体的关系,而whose则不能。例:
Heborrowedabookofwhichtheauthorwasapeasant.
InBarcelonatheChineseteamgot16goldmedals,ofwhich12werewonbywomen.第一句中的ofwhich就可以用whose来代替,因为这个句子中of是用来表示所属关系的。可改写成:Heborrowedabookwhoseauthorwasapeasant.而第二句中的ofwhich不能用whose代替,因为这个句子中的of不是表示所属关系,而是表示整体与部分的关系。
(7)引导非限制性定语从句多用whose,而很少用表示所属关系的介词of加上关系代词which。如:
Thereisamysteriouslakeatthefootofthehill,whosedepthhasneverbeenmeasured.山脚下有个神秘的湖,其深度从未被测量过。
如介词of不表示所属关系,而是用来表示整体与部分的关系,此时就经常引导非限制性定语从句了。如:
Thereare102elementsfoundinnature,ofwhichmostaremetals.
ThestoryaboutLongMarch,ofwhichthisisoneexample,arewellwritten.
I’dlikeacarwhosefrontlightsarebigandround.
I’dlikeacar,thefrontlightsofwhicharebigandround.
Thebook,thecoverofwhichisbroken,isnotmine.
Thebook,whosecoverisbroken,isnotmine.
which在定语从句中只作主语,宾语,表语,修饰物
when,where在定语从句中只作状语,分别作地点状语和时间状语。
如定语从句中缺少句子成份,即,主,宾或表语缺其中任意一项,先行词又是表物的名词或代词,定语从句的关系词就用which
如定语从句中不缺少句子成份,即,主,宾或表齐全,如先行词为表地点的名词或代词,定语从句就用where,如先行词是表时间的。名词或代词,定语从句就用when引导。
如果是表示地点的词,则要用where(前提:没有介词)
如果是表示时间的,就要用when
如果是表示原因的,如reason就用why
在一定程度上,in which与where是相等的。他们修饰的先行词是表地点的
例如:the house where ilive is beautibul。
=the house in which ilive is beautibul。
若in提前,只能用which,就不能用where。
例如;the house in() ilive is beautibul。
句中的空就不能填where。
你的问题中提到的in which是属于“介词+关系代词”型的定语从句。
关系代词在定语从句中做介词宾语时,从句常由介词 + 关系代词(只用 whom /which)引导
The school (that/which) he once studied in is very famous.
= The school in which he once studied is very famous.
Tomorrow I will bring here a magazine (that/which) you asked for.
= Tomorrow I will bring here a magazine for which you asked.
We'll go to hear the famous singer (whom/that/who) we have often talked about.
= We'll go to hear the famous singer about whom we have often talked.
