關係代名詞that通常可以代替who、whom或which,但是在某些情況下,關係代名詞通常只用that:
(1) 當先行詞是all、anything、nothing或everything等代名詞時。例:
‧The host tried to provide everything
(that)
his guests needed.
(2)
當有形容詞最高級修飾先行詞時。例:
‧Kevin is the most handsome man (that) I
have
ever seen.
(3) 當有any、all、every、the only、the first或the last等詞修飾先行詞時。例:
‧Sally was the first person that reached
the
finish line of the race.
(4)
先行詞同時含有「人」和「物」時。例:
‧I knew the boy and his dog that were
running
in the park.
(5) 以疑問詞who,
which或what開頭的疑問
句,為了避免重複,多用that。例:
‧Who is the girl that danced with you? |
