【考点描述】定语从句是英语中一个极为重要的考点。不仅单项填空会直接考查定语从句的语法应用，而且在写作中是否能灵活运用定语从句也是判断一个考生是否能写出“高级”结构的一个重要标准。另外，正确理解定语从句对于分析阅读中的长句和难句也有一定的帮助。
【特技传授】“四看”：一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因；二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任句子的什么成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等；三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句；四看关系词的用法区别，如that与which的区别，that与who的区别，who与whom的区别，as与which的区别等。
