THAT的用法知多少

ＴＨＡＴ的用法知多少

无论是在日常的学习中还是在中高考中,that 的用法一直是困扰学生的一大难题,很多学生不清楚that 到底做什么用。为了帮助同学们系统地掌握that 的用法,现将其用法归纳如下：

一、 用作代词

1、指空间或时间上较远的人或物

例如：This book is much better than that one .

2、用以指要表明的或要提及的人或物

例如：Did you see that boy?

Who was that man you were talking to?

3、与名词所有格连用

例如：I don’t like that new secretary of his.

That 用作代词代替前面的不可数名词,也代替前面的单数可数名词,尤其是表对比时。

例如：The college system at Oxford and Cambridge is unlike that of any other university , whether in Britain or American.

高考时,经常会把考查that、it 与 one放在一起对比。其实,只要记住以下要点就可以了：one 相当于a 加单数可数名词,指同类事物，常在句中做同位语; it 相当于the 加单数名词, 指同类同物。如：

The editor asked me to write another article for him, one about the birth control in China.(此句中的one是泛指概念，没有具体说是哪篇文章，只要是关于中国计划生育的即可。)

Meeting my uncle after all these years was an unforgettable moment, one I’ll always treasure.(此句中的one是泛指概念，an unforgettable moment有很多，这只是其中之一。)

The Parkers bought a new house but it will need a lot of work before they can move in. （it 指代的是前面的the new house。）

Few pleasures can equal that of a cool drink on a hot day.(that 是表对比，用夏天的一杯冷饮所带来的乐趣与其它乐趣相对比。)

二、用作副词，相当于so，意思是“达到那样的程度”

I can’t walk that (so)far.我走不了那么远。

I was that (so) angry I could have hit him.我那时气得简直想揍他。

三、用作关系词，引导各类从句

1、用作关系代词，引导定语从句

The only thing that I can do is to have a rest . 我唯一能做的事就是休息。

2、用作关联词，引导名词性从句

I will see to it that everything is ready. 我会注意把一切准备妥当的。(宾语从句)

The trouble is that we are short of money.困难就在于我们缺钱。（表语从句）

3、构成短语，引导状语从句
