whose引导定语从句可以指物吗

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

whose
引导定语从句可以指物吗
请看下面这道题：
I
saw
some
trees
__________
leaves
were
black
with
disease.
A.
its
B.
whose
C.
his
D.
the
分析：此题应选B。容易误选A。许多考生认为，关系代词whose
和who，whom
一样，只能指
人，不能指物。
事实上，用作关系代词的
whose
与
who，whom
不一样，它不仅可以指人也可以指物(用作定语)：
There
are
some
students
whose
questions
I
can’t
answer.
有些学生的问题我不能回答。
当先行词为物时，其后引导定语从句的
whose＋n.
也可换成
the＋n.
＋of
which
/
of
which
＋the＋n.：
■窗户破了的那座房子是空的。
正：The
house
whose
windows
are
broken
is
empty.
正：The
house
the
windows
of
which
are
broken
is
empty.
正：The
house
of
which
the
windows
are
broken
is
empty.
但是如果
whose所修饰的名词中心词之前有数词或其他限定词，则不用
whose，而用of
which：
There
I
saw
a
large
table，two
legs
of
which
were
broken.
在那里我看见有一张大桌
子，其中有两条腿断了。
