地点状语的定语从句用法
连词 含义 说明
where 在……地方 通常表示一个确定的
wherever 无论什么地方
表示“任何地方”
anywhere 无论何处
everywhere 到处
(1)地点状语从句由where，wherever，引导，
如：We must camp where we can get water.
我们必须在能找到水的地方露营。
(2)地点状语从句与定语从句的区别 :
在于分句在句中作什么成分。作状语，则是状语从句；作定语修饰名词，则是定语从句
where引导定语从句时，从句前应有一个表示地点的名词作先行词；而状语从句前则无需先行词。
如：
Go back where you came from.(where引导地点状语从句）
你从何处来到何处去。
Go back to the village where you came.(where引导定语从句，修饰village)
回到你来的那个村子里去。
判断：
①We went home, where we had dinner.此句是where引导的"非限制性"定语从句,这里"where"= at home(先行词是home)从句还原" we had dinner at home"全句译：我们回到家，在家里吃了顿饭.
②I walk into the canteen where students are eating此句也是where 引导的定语从句，与上句不同之处在于此句是一个"限制性"定语从句.全句译：我走进了这个同学们都在吃饭的食堂。（限定说明了是一个什么样的食堂)
③地点状语从句与定语从句其本身属性就不同：地点状语从句相当于大的副词;定语从句相当于大的形容词,副词是用来修饰动词的,
例： you can go where you want to go . 你可以去你想去的地方。
（3）地点从句一般位于主句之后，但为了强调，也可以放在句首。
With a car，a person can go where he pleases and when he pleases.
有了汽车，人可以想去哪儿就去哪儿，想什么时候去就什么时候去。
And where there is shale there is likely to be oli.
哪儿有页岩，哪儿就可能有石油。
定语从句还是状语从句的区别
一、where引导定语从句时, where是关系副词, 在从句中作地点状语, 其前面有表示地点的先行词, where引导的从句修饰先行词。例如:
The bookshop where I bought this book is not far from here.
This is the house where I lived two years ago.
We will start at the point where we left off.
二、where引导状语从句时, where是从属连词, where引导的从句修饰主句的谓语动词, where前面没有表示地点的先行词。例如:
Wuhan lies where the Changjiang River and the Han Jiang River meet.
Make a mark where you have any doubts or questions.
I found my books where I had left them.
有时, where引导的地点状语从句兼有抽象条件含义, 可放在主句的.前面, 而where引导的定语从句则不能。例如:
Where there is a will, there is a way. 〔谚语〕有志者事竟成。
Where there is water, there is life. 有水的地方就有生命。
三、在有些情况下, where引导的定语从句可转换为where引导的地点状语从句。例如:
A tall building was put up at the place where there used to be a desert. （＝A tall building was put up where there used to be a desert. ）在以前曾是沙漠的地方盖起了一幢高楼。
Bam boo grows best in places where it is warm and where it rains often. （＝Bamboo grows best where it is warm and where it rains often. ）温暖而多雨的地方最适合于竹子生长。
