分词作定语
1、单个分词作定语，一般置于被修饰名词的前面，个别分词如 given, left 作定语时需要后置，修饰不定代词 something 等也需要后置。
We can see the rising sun.
He is a retired worker.
This is the question given.
There is nothing interesting.
2、分词短语作定语，只能后置。
The first textbook written for teaching English as a foreign language came out in the 16th century.
3、过去分词作定语时，与其修饰的词是被动关系，相当于一个被动语态的定语从句。
Most of the people (who were) invited to the party were famous scientists.
定语从句
定语从句（attributive clauses）在句中做定语，修饰一个名词或代词，被修饰的名词，词组或代词即先行词。定语从句通常出现在先行词之后，由关系词（关系代词或关系副词）引出。关系代词有：who, whom, whose, that, which等。关系副词有：when, where, why等。
1、关系代词引导的定语从句
关系代词所代替的先行词是人或物的名词或代词，并在句中充当主语、宾语、定语等成分。关系代词在定语从句中作主语时，从句谓语动词的人称和数要和先行词保持一致。
1）who, whom, that代替的先行词是人的名词或代词，在从句中可作主语或宾语：
Is he the man who / that wants to see you?
He is the man whom / that I saw yesterday.
2）whose用来指人或物（只用作定语，若指物，它还可以同of which互换），例如：
They rushed over to help the man whose carhad broken down.
Please pass me the book whose (of which) cover is green.
3）which, that所代替的先行词是事物的名词或代词，在从句中可作主语、宾语等，例如：
A prosperity which / that had never been seen before appears in the countryside.
The package (which / that) you are carrying is about to come unwrapped.
2、关系副词引导的定语从句
关系副词可代替的先行词是时间、地点或理由的名词，在从句中作状语。
1）关系副词when, where, why的含义相当于“介词+ which”结构，因此常常和“介词+ which”结构交替使用，例如：
There are occasions when (on which) one must yield.
Beijing is the place where (in which) I was born.
Is this the reason why (for which) he refused our offer?
2）that代替关系副词
that可以用于表示时间、地点、方式、理由的名词后取代when，where，why和“介词+ which”引导的定语从句，在口语中that常被省略，例如：
His father died the year (that / when / in which) he was born.
He is unlikely to find the place (that / where / in which) he lived forty years ago.
Now, do the tasks on Pages 27-28 in your textbooks.
