where的用法
1、当where引导定语从句时,Where前有表示地点的先行词,where引导的从句修饰先行词,Where是关系副词,在从句中作地点状语。
例句:He's got himself into a dangerous situation where he is likely to lose control over the plane.
situation是先行词,其后是Where引导的定语从句。
2、当Where引导状语从句时,Where前没有表示地点的先行词,Where是从属连词,Where引导的从句修饰主句的谓语动词。
例句:The famous scientist grew up where he was born and in 1930 he came to Shanghai.
句中“the famous scientist grew up”这一部分是该句的主句,Where到句子最后是地点状语从句,where前没有表示地点的先行词。
