Grammar and usage Relative adverbs: when, where and why

引导定语从句的关系副词有 when, where, why 等。它们和关系代词一样放在先行词 的后面起引导作用，同时在定语从句中分 别充当时间、地点和原因状语。 ( 当从句 不缺主宾表语，或从句动词为不及物动词 时） 1). when 指时间，在定语从句中作时间状 语。如： Can you still remember that evening _______ we met for the first time ？ when

2). where 指地点, 在定语从句中作地点状语。 如： Can you show me the house _________ Shakespeare lived ？ 3). why 指原因, 在定语从句中作原因状语。 如： I don’t know the reason ____________ he didn’t tell it to his father 。 where/ in which why/ for which

某些抽象概念的先行词，用关系副词 where 。 case, situation, stage, point The incidient has reached to a point where both their parents should be called in.

关系副词 when, where, why 的含义相当于 “ 介词 + which” 结构，因此常常和 “ 介词 + which” 结构互换。例如： There are occasions when (= on which) one must yield. Beijing is the place where (= in which) I was born. Is this the reason why (= for which) he refused our offer?

关系词的选择依据在从句中所做的成分， 先行词在从句中做主、定、宾语时，选择 关系代词 (who, whom, that, which, whose) ； 先行词在从句中做状语时，应选择关系副 词 (where 地点状语， when 时间状语， why 原因状语 ) 。 定语从句中何时用关系代词、何时 用关系副词 ?
