from where 引导的定语从句

1、Soon after getting off his horse, the captain appeared at the second storey windows, from where he could see nothing but trees.下马不久，上尉就出现在二楼的窗口了。他从那里除了树木什么也没看到。(引导定语从句)

划线部分相当于…, and from at the windows…不可变为from which…，可用where，但不如用from where更具体。

2、She climbed up to the top of the hill, from where she could have a good view of the whole town.她登上山顶，从那里她可以一览全城风光。(引导定语从句)

划线部分相当于…, and from on the top of the hill或from on the top of which…,不可变为from which，也可直接用where引导，但语义较为含糊，不如用from where更加生动、形象、具体。

3、We went up to the roof , from where we had a good view of the procession.我们爬到屋顶，在那儿我们可以一览整个行进队伍。(引导定语从句)

划线部分可理解为and from on the top of the roof或from on the top of which，用from which是不对的，直接用where仍显不具体，不形象。

4、China is the birth place of kites, from where kiteflying spread to Japan, Korea, Thailand and India.中国是风筝的故乡，在那里风筝传到日本、朝鲜、泰国和印度。

这里from正与下文的spread to构成一个整体，可理解为from near/around this place，如若把from where换为where显然是讲不通的，改成from which,能够讲得通，但不太符合英语习惯。

5、The car stopped suddenly only a few inches from where I stood.那辆小汽车就在我站的地方仅几英寸处忽然停下了。(引导状语从句)这里的划线部分中where引导的是宾语从句，与from一起作地点状语从句。

from when

(1. A good friend of mine from -——I was born showed up at my home right before I left for Beijing.(2009年安徽卷27题)

A. how B. whom C. when D. which

【考点】本题考查when引导的定语从句。

四、定语从句中介词的选择经典例题

To my great surprise,yesterday,he asked me a few questions_______there were no answers.

A. to which B. about which

C. in which D. on which

答案 A.

五、定语从句的先行词为抽象名词case，point，situation，stage等的用法

1.在定语从句中除case，point，situation，stage外，哪些先行词可以用where?

例如这道题

what do you think of teaching, Bob? ——I find it fun and challenging. It is a job( where ) you are doing something serious but interesting.

在工作中用where

所有的词都是自己分析来决定选什么的，不需要死记硬背的。

2.stage 作先行词定语从句都用where来引导么有用when的么?

stage名词 n. [C] 1.舞台 Some girls are dancing on the stage. 一些女孩在舞台上跳舞。 2.注意中心,活动舞台,场所 3.(进展的)阶段;时期 A caterpillar must pass through the cocoon stage to become a butterfly. 表示这些意思时，可做先行词。 例句：1.表地点 The stage where the girls are going to dance is in the gym. 2.表时期 The stage when he is preparing for his study is relly important. 希望那个你能明白!

We have come to the stage______we have to make a choice.

a.that b.which c. in which

课文经典 Nelson mandela - a modern hero

The doctor said that the treatment would contnue until the patient reached the point ________ he could walk correctly and safely

A.where B.when

c.which d.that

答案B.

六、定语从句与强调句型解题陷阱

The factory was built in a secret place,around____high mountains.

A.which was B.it was C.which were D.them were

此题选C。

分析：前面有选行词place，后面句子的意思是，“在它的周围是一些很高的山”，所以后面这个句子是非限制定语从句。介词around加关系词which，因为后面是复数形式，所以选C。另外，非限制性定语从句中，地点在前，所以用倒装形式。
