定语从句作为英语语法，在学习过程中属于中较难理解与掌握的部分，也正是由于其复杂程度较高、逻辑性较强、理解难度很大，屡屡让童鞋们在考试中丢分数、失信心、丧斗志！
如果你对这一部分的内容不太熟悉的话，一定要好好看看这篇文章！
定语可以由形容词、名词、代词、分词、不定式以及介词短语等来担任，也可以由一个句子来充当，充当定语功能的句子称为定语从句。

②关系代词：在从句中做 主，宾，表，定（that/which/who/whom/whose/as）
③关系副词：在从句中作状语(When/where/why)
He is a teacher who works at our school.
2.非限制性定语从句：对先行词起补充说明作用(先行词与定语从句之间有逗号隔开)

②That引导定语从句，名词性从句 和 强调句型的区别:
定语从句中的that: 关系代词，在后面的定语从句中做句子成分。
名词性从句中的that：从属连词，只起连接主从句的作用，在从句中不做句子成分。
强调句中的that, 运用于it is/was…that..结构；判断标准：去掉强调句型结构，成分仍然完整。
