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）when, where, why
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. 任何人都有不得不屈服的时候。
Beijing is the place where (in which) I was born. 北京是我的出生地。
Is this the reason why (for which) he refused our offer? 这就是他拒绝我们帮助他的理由吗？
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. 　他父亲在他出生那年逝世了。
He is unlikely to find the place (that / where / in which) he lived forty years ago. 他不大可能找到他四十年前居住过的地方。
