关系代词：
用来引导定语从句。它代表先行词，同时在从句中作一定的句子成分。
关系代词有主格，宾格和属格之分，并有指人与指物之分，它在先行词和定语之间起纽带作用。
主要的关系代词有who,whom,whose,which和that。
①who指人，在定语从句中作主语或宾语；
whom指人，在定语从句中作宾语；
whose在定语 从句中作定语，其先行词既可以是人也可以是物。
例如：The teacher who/whom you want to see has come.
②which指物，在定语从句中作主语或宾语。
例如：Here is the coat which will be made to you.
③that多指物，有时也指人，在定语从句中作主语或宾语。
例如：I have eaten bread that/which he gave to me.
关系代词的基本用法：
（1）引导定语从句
关系代词代表先行词，同时在从句中作一定的句子成分，例如：
The girl whom I spoke to is my cousin. 跟我讲话的姑娘是我表妹。
（该句中whom既代表先行词the girl，又在从句中作介词to的宾语。）
This is the pencil whose point is broken.这就是那个折了尖的铅笔。
(whose 指物，在限定性定语从句中作定语)
He came back for the book which he had forgotten.他重新回来都忘记了他的那本书。
（which指物，在限定性定语从句中作宾语，可以省略）
（2）which为其先行词。例如：
He said he saw me there, which was a lie.他说在那儿看到了我，纯属谎言。
（3）其他用法
关系代词that在从句中作宾语或表语时可省略， 例如：
I've forgotten much of the Latin I once knew.我过去懂拉丁语，现在大都忘了。
He's changed. He's not the man he was.他变化很大，已不是过去的他了。
注释：关系代词在从句中作宾语时可省略，that在从句中作表语时也可省略。
非限定性定语从句中，不能用that作关系代词。
关系代词的语法注意:
1.常用that 不用which的情况:
①先行词为all, anything, everything, nothing, something等时。
I will do all (that) I can to help you.
②先行词被序数词、形容词最高级或the only, the very等所修饰时。
He was the only person that joined the army in his village that year.
③先行词既有人,又有物时
They talked about the people and the things (that)they remembered in the school.
④当主句是以who 或which开头的疑问句时, 定语从句用that 引导, 以避免重复。
Who is the boy that was here just now?
2. 若被修饰的名词充当从句介词宾语时
介词可提前于引导词之前,此时的引导词只能用whom 或which.
The pencil with which he was writing broke.
3. 当先行词为way时
其后的定语从句用in which或 that引导,也可不用引导词。
I don’t like the way (in which/that) he talks to me.
used to/be used to的分别：
①used to + do："过去常常"表示过去习惯性的动作或状态，但如今已不存在。
Mother used not to be so forgetful.
②be used to + doing： 对……已感到习惯，或"习惯于"，to是介词，后需加名词或动名词。
Scarf is used to taking a walk.(现在习惯于散步)
③used to 的用法 （否定式简写为usedn't） 过去经常，以前常常
This used to be a shabby house. （此房年久失修）
used to,would这两个词语都可以表示过去常做某事，有时可以换用。
used to do 强调过去习惯性的行为或状态，但是现在没有这种行为或状态了。因此，这个短语的内涵是今昔对比。
关系代词的用法:

介词后不能用We depend on the land from which we get our food.
二、只能用that作为定语从句的关系代词的情况

特殊关系代词的用法：
关系词通常是用来引导定语从句的,但as,than和but这三个词却与which, who, that, where, when和why等典型的关系词不同。
三者本身具有常见的字面意义,前面有名词作先行词,但后面的定语从句却不像典型的定语从句。
这些既像连接词又像关系词的词,我们就姑且称它们为准关系词。
一、 as作为准关系代词出现在the same ... as, such ... as, 和as ... as等结构中。
这时, as前面通常要有名词;
as后面的从句意义上不像是通常的定语从句;
as需要在从句中充当一定的句子成分。
1. the same ... as
1) as在从句中作主语
She is the same person as came here last Sunday. 她就是上星期天来这儿的那个人。
2) as在从句中作宾语
This is the same watch as I lost while I was doing the sightseeing in Shanghai three months ago. 这块表跟我三个月前在上海观光时丢失的那块一样。
3) as在从句中作be动词的表语
China is not the same country as it used to be. 中国已今非昔比。
4) as在从句中作行为方式状语
You should learn to do housework in the same way as your mother does it. 你应该学会像你母亲那样做家务活。
2. such ... as
1) as在从句中作主语
Let children read such books as tend to make them better and brighter. 让孩子看那些容易让他们变得更好更聪明的书。
2) as在从句中作宾语
This is not such an interesting book as you just talked about. 这不是你们刚才谈到的那种有趣的书。
3) as在从句中作be动词的表语
Such a bad man as he is will be punished. 像他这样的坏人一定会受到惩罚。
3. as ... as
1) 第二个as在从句中作主语
He has as much money as is required. 他要多少钱就有多少钱。
2) 第二个as在从句中作宾语
I have as many friends as you (do). 我的朋友和你的朋友一样多。
3) 第二个as在从句中作be动词的表语
As is known to all, Taiwan is one of the Chinese provinces。众所周知,台湾是中国的一个省。
二、than作为准关系词 出现在more ... than, less ... than, fewer ... than等结构中。这时, than前面要有名词; than本身有比较意义,而且需要在从句中充当一定的句子成分。
1. than在从句中作主语
Take it easy, I have more money than is needed. 放心，我的钱比所需要的还要多。
2. than在从句中作宾语
I have more/fewer books than you (do). 我的书比你的多/少。
3. than在从句中作be动词的表语
He is a better boy than you (are). 他是一个比你更好的男孩。
三、but作为准关系词 本身含有否定意义,它前面的主句还有另一个否定意义。这时but在意义上相当于“who ... not ...”或“which/that ... not ...”。
1.定语从句中有be动词,并将其改为含but的复合句时, be动词后面不能再有not
There is no one who is not conccrned about his future. (= There is no one but is concerned about his future.) 没有人不关心自己的未来?
2. 定语从句中有can, will, shall, must, may, should, ought to等助动词或情态动词,在将其改为含but的复合句时,这些助动词或情态动词后面不能再有not
There is nothing that she can’t do. (= There is nothing but she can do.) 没有她做不到的事?
3. 定语从句中有助动词do, does, did, 在将其改为含but的复合句时,应去掉do, does, did, 还原其后动词的时态及人称变化
There is no one who doesn’t wish to make great achievements. (= There is no one but wishes to make great achievements.) 谁都希望自己将来能有所成就。
四、which的先行词：关系代词which的先行词可以是一个句子
He said he saw me there, which was a lie。他说在那儿看到了我，纯属谎言。
说明：关系代词that在从句中作宾语或表语时可省略
I've forgotten much of the Latin I once knew。 我过去懂拉丁语，现在大都忘了。
英语中的一致主要包括主语和谓语在人称和数上的一致、时态一致、名词和其代词的一致。
主语和谓语保持一致叫主谓一致，即谓语动词的形式必须随着主语单、复数形式的变化而变化。
主谓一致原则:1、语法上的一致
所谓语法一致原则，即主语和谓语的语法形式在人称和数上取得一致。
谓语的单、复数形式依据主语的单、复数形式而定：主语为复数，谓语动词用复数；主语为单数或者是不可数名词，谓语动词用单数。

2、意义上的一致
意义上的一致是指谓语动词与主语的一致取决于主语所表达的意义。若主语形式上为复数，而意义上是单数，动词要用单数；

2,"many a +名词"作主语时，从意义上看是复数，但谓语动词常用单数.例如：
Many a student has been sent to plant trees. 很多学生被派去植树.
3,"half of,the rest of,most of,all of及百分数或分数+of 等后接名词"作主语时，谓语动词形式根据of后的名词而定.例如：
Three fourths of the surface of the earth is covered with water.地球表面四分之三为水所覆盖.
4,all指人时，动词用复数；all指物时，动词用单数.例如：
"All are present and all is going well." 所有人全部到场了，一切进展顺利
5,what引导的主语从句，谓语动词可视表语而定：表语是单数名词时，动词用单数，相反，则用复数.例如：
What they want to get are a number of good books.他们想得到的是大量的好书.
6,and连接的两个单数名词前若用each,every,no修饰，该名词短语作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式.例如：
No book and no pen is found in the schoolbag.书包里没有书和钢笔.
7,当主语后面有as well as,with,along with,together with,but,like,rather than,except，逗号加and连接几个名字等引导的短语时，谓语动词要与最前面的主语保持一致.例如：
My father as well as his workmates has been to Beijing. 我父亲和他的同事曾去过北京.
8,each作主语的同位语时，谓语动词由主语来决定，与each无关.例如：
They each have a bike. 他们每人有一辆自行车.
9,动词不定式，动词-ing形式短语作主语时，谓语动词常用单数.例如：
Going out for a walk after supper is a good habit.晚饭后出去散步是一个好习惯.
10,the following作主语时，谓语动词的数与后面名词的数保持一致.例如：
The following are good examples下面是一些好例子.
11,以-ics结尾的学科名词，如politics,physics,mathematics等作主语时，谓语动词用单数.以-s结尾的名词news,works,plastics等同属此类.例如：
Politics is now taught in all schools. 现在各学校都开设政治课.
当以-ics结尾的学科名词表示"学科"以外的意义时，用作复数，如：mathematics（运算能力）politics(政治观点）economics（经济意义）等
12,有些用来表示由两个对应部分组成一体的名词复数（trousers,glasses,shoes.shorts.scissors.scales等）作主语时，前面若有"一条","一副","一把"之类的单位词，动词用单数；若没有单位词或单位词是复数，则谓语动词用复数.例如：
The shoes are all right. 这些鞋子都很合适.
还有一些以-s结尾的名词通常用复数：arms（武器）.clothes.contents.minites（记录）.remains（遗体）.thanks等
13,"one and a half +名词"作主语时，谓语动词要用复数.例如：
One and a half apples are left on the table. 桌子上有一个半苹果.
14,"One or two more +复数名词"作主语时，谓语动词用复数.例如：

One million dollars is a lot of money. 一百万美元是一大笔钱.
以-s结尾的名词作主语的主谓一致:英语可数名词的规则复数形式是在词尾加-s或-es，但是有一些以-s结尾的名词并不是可数名词。
它们用法多样，造成了实际使用上的困难，以下详述了以-s结尾的名词作主语的主谓一致问题。
（一）以-s结尾的疾病名称作主语的主谓一致问题
（二）以-s结尾的游戏名称作主语的主谓一致问题
（三）以-s结尾的地理名称作主语的主谓一致问题
（四）以-ics结尾的学科名称作主语的主谓一致问题
（五）其它以-s结尾的名词的主谓一致问题
集合名词的主谓一致原则:集合名词作主语时，主谓一致关系是一个较为复杂的问题.对此类问题我们可以从"数"的角度分为四类.
1)单数—复数型.凡是有复数词尾变化形式的集合名词都属于此类。如：
a class—classes; a family—families; a government—governments; an army—armies; a people—peoples; a group—groups; a crowd—crowds; a crew—crews等。
这类集合名词强调的是整体性，即当作一个整体或多个整体来看待。属于这类集合名词的单数作主语时，谓语动词用单数；
复数形式作主语时，谓语动词用复数。
【例如】
A big crowd often gathers on the square every morning.
每个上午 一大群人经常聚集在广场上
The government has decided to pass the bill.
政府已决定通过这一法案
There are huge crowds in the streets on Sunday.
星期天有大群大群的人在街上。
There are many English-speaking peoples in the world.
在世界上有许多讲英语的人
但应注意，这类集合名词的单数形式有时表示复数概念，所以这些集合名词的单数形式也可归为"单复同形型"中.
2)单数型.这类集合名词表示的是人或事物的整体，即把这类人或事物的全部包括在内，所以只有单数形式.如作主语，谓语动词常用单数。
这类名词常见的有：humanity,mankind,proletariat等.
【例如】The proletariat is the greatest class in the history of mankind. In the fields of production and scientific experiment,mankind makes constant progress.
3)复数型.这类集合名词在形式和内容上是相互矛盾的，就是说它们只有单数形式，但表达的都是复数概念。它强调的是集体中的个体性.这类名词有：police,cattle,faculty,flock,machinery,vermin,personnel等.它们作主语时，谓语动词要用复数.
【例如】The police have caught the murder.
Our personnel are very highly trained.
The vermin are very dangerous.
4)单复同形型.这类集合名词的单数形式既可表示单数也可表示复数.作主语时，用单数动词或复数动词均可，有时意义区别不大.
【例如】The school teaching staff are (is) excellent.
The public is (are) requested not to litter in the park.
The teaching profession claim(s) to be badly paid.
这类集合名词常见的有：class,family,team,crew,board,herd,committee,party,jury,enemy,audience等.
根据说话人的心理意向若把这个集合名词所代表的人或事物看作一个整体，就认为是单数，用单数动词；
若把它所代表的人或事物看作若干个个体的话，就认为其为复数，用复数动词。
试比较：The football team is playing well.
那个足球队打得非常漂亮.
The football team are shavings bath and are then coming back here for tea. 足球队员们正在洗澡，然后来这里吃茶点。
The family is a very happy one.那个家庭是一个非常幸福的家庭。
That family are very pleased about the news of William's success. 全家人对威廉的成功都感到很高兴。
巧记主谓一致原则: 单单复复最常见，集体名词谓用单，如若强调其成员，复数谓语记心间。
有些名词谓常复，people,police即这般。主语单数后接介，谓语单数介无关，
many a作主语也如此，谓语动词应用单。or、nor、but also、there be，近主原则挂嘴边。
关系代词定主语，谓语根据先行词判。不定式短语、动名词，主语从句谓全单。
时间、货币与距离，谓语多单复少见，rest，means，fol1owing等，意义决定其复、单。
none，all，half of等，of之宾语定答案。还有分数、百分数，仍据of之宾定复、单。
代词all指人谓复数,all指事情谓用单。量词用法请注意，谓语要随量词变。
and连接两名词，身兼两职一定冠，no，each，every后单名，两件(种)事(物)系一概念，
以上情况请记清，谓语动词全用单。形容词带the一类人，姓氏复数加定冠，
-s结尾的海峡、山脉与群岛，谓语用复勿用单。neither，either，each，用作主语谓全单。
强调句:
所谓强调就是通过语音、语调、词汇、语法、修辞、标点符号、字体变化等手段来突出重要的内容，使自己的思想更好地被听者或读者理解。
初中常考的强调方式：
1. 用助动词do (does/did)+动词原形
例如：He does know the place.
2. 用It be+被强调部分+that (who)…表示强调
例如：It was in the office that he was killed.
常见到的强调形式，共有以下七类：1.用dodoesdid + V可表强调
Some people do believe that nuclear power poses a threat to the world peace.
2.adv或adj可表强调：Never only Very
This is the very question that deserves careful analysis.
3.双重否定可表强调
Taking part-time jobs is never without drawbacks.
4.what引导的主从可表强调
What really matters is cooperation.
5.倒装可表强调(凡是倒装都可以表示强调)
Littlie do people take into account the seriousness of this problem.
6.比较状语从句可表强调
Nothing is more imperative than to learn from the past.
7.强调句型可表强调
It is was +被强调部份+ that who +原句剩余部份
It is stability that destroys people’s ambition and barricades people’s steps.
常用句型:
1. 陈述句的强调句型
It is/ was + 被强调部分（通常是主语、宾语或状语）+ that/ who（当强调主语且主语指人）+ 其他部分。
例子 It was yesterday that he met Li Ping.
2. 一般疑问句的强调句型
同上，只是把is/ was提到it前面。
例子 Was it yesterday that he met Li Ping?
3. 特殊疑问句的强调句型
被强调部分（通常是疑问代词或疑问副词）+ is/ was + it + that/ who + 其他部分？
例子 When and where was it that you were born?
4.not … until … 句型的强调句
A. 句型为：It is/ was not until + 被强调部分 + that + 其他部分
普通句：He didn't go to bed until/ till his wife came back.
强调句：It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.
B. 注意：
此句型只用until，不用till。但如果不是强调句型，till, until可通用；
因为句型中It is/ was not ... 已经是否定句了，that后面的从句要用肯定句，切勿再用否定句了。
5.谓语动词的强调
A. It is/ was ... that ... 结构不能强调谓语，如果需要强调谓语时，用助动词do/ does或did
Do sit down. 务必请坐。
Do be careful when you cross the street. 过马路时，务必（千万）要小心啊！
B. 注意：
此种强调只用do/ does和did，没有别的形式；过去时用did，后面的谓语动词用原形。
强调形式:
常见到的强调形式，共有以下七类：
1.用dodoesdid + V可表强调
Some people do believe that nuclear power poses a threat to the world peace.
2.adv或adj可表强调：Never only Very
This is the very question that deserves careful analysis.
3.双重否定可表强调
Taking part-time jobs is never without drawbacks.
4.what引导的主从可表强调
What really matters is cooperation.
5.倒装可表强调(凡是倒装都可以表示强调)
Littlie do people take into account the seriousness of this problem.
6.比较状语从句可表强调
Nothing is more imperative than to learn from the past.
7.强调句型可表强调
It is was +被强调部份+ that who +原句剩余部份
It is stability that destroys people’s ambition and barricades people’s steps.
语法结构:
强调句的十种结构：
1．用助动词“do（does／did）＋动词原形”来表示强调：
Do write to me when you get there．你到那儿后务必给我来信。
2．用形容词very，only，single，such等修饰名词或形容词来加强语气：
How dare you buy such expensive jewels？你怎么敢买这么贵的宝石呢？
3．用ever，never，very，just等副词和badly，highly，really等带有－l y的副词来进行强调：
I really don’t know what to do next．我的确不知道下一步该怎么做。
4．用in the world，on earth，at all等介词短语可以表达更强的语气（常用于疑问句）：
Where in the world could he be？他到底会在哪儿？
5．用感叹句来表示强烈的感情，突出说话人的情感：
How interesting a story it is！这是一个多么有趣的故事啊！
6．用重复来表示强调：
Why！why！The cage is empty！啊！啊！箱子是空的。
7．用倒装句（也就是将要强调的句子或被强调的部分置于句首）来加强语气：
On the table were some flowers．桌上摆着一些花。（强调地点）
8．用强调句型：“It is（was）＋被强调的部分＋that（who）＋原句其它部分”来强调说话人的意愿：
It was on Monday night that all this happened．所有这一切发生在周一晚上。
9．用If来表示强调：
1）If从句＋I don’t know who／what，etc．does／is／has，etc．
主语部分也可以用nobody does／is／has，etc．或everybody does／is／has，et c．来代替（这里的if从句往往是正话反说，反话正说）：
If he can’t do it，I don’t know who can．要是他做不了这件事，我不知道还有谁能做。（强调只有他能做）
If Jim is a coward，everybody is．要是吉姆是个胆小鬼，那么人人都是胆小鬼。（强调吉姆不是胆小鬼）
2）if从句＋it be主句（此用法可看成是第8中强调句型的变形，即把所要强调的内容放在it be的后面，把其它内容放在由if引导的从句中）：
If anyone knew the truth，it was Tom．如果说谁了解事实的真相，那便是汤姆。
10．用破折号、黑体字也可以表示强调，加强语气：
It’s because of hard work—ten years of hard work．那是因为艰苦的工作--十年艰苦的工作！
He began the work in late May．他在五月底开始的这项工作。（强调时间）
