. 定語從句講析(The attributive clause)
介詞 + which／whom引導的定語從句。
關系代詞在從句中作介詞賓語時，介詞可提至關系代詞前，構成“介詞+which／whom從句”結構。此時應注意以下幾個方面的內容：
(1)介詞提前時，關系代詞不可省略。
(2)介詞提前時只能使用“介詞十which(指事物)”以及“介詞+whom(指人)”結構，既不能使用that也不能使用who。
(3)當關系代詞作look after，look for，take care of等不能拆開使用的短語動詞的賓語時。介詞不可以提前。
①This is the question about which we've had so much discussion.
②He is the man about whom I told you yesterday.
③The woman to whom I spoke is a teacher.
＝The woman(who/whom/that)I spoke to is a teacher.
④Is this the house in which he was born?＝Is this the house(which/that)he was born in?
⑤This is the book which/that I'm looking for．

1. I still wish we could go and see a film tomorrow though! (p31)
不過我仍然希望我們明天能去看電影。
wish+that常表示無法實現的愿望，從句須用虛擬語氣。
1)表示現在愿望，從句謂語用一般過去式。
2)表示將來愿望，從句謂語用 would/could/should + v.
3)表示與過去事實相反的愿望，從句謂語用had done。
①I wish I remembered his name.
②I wish that it were morning. (若是系動詞be，皆可使用were)
③I wish it would rain tomorrow.
④I wish she had not left.
⑤I wish we could have gone to the seaside yesterday.
⑥I wish I could fly to the moon one day.
[c.f.] hope, wish
1)hope接從句時，表達的是可以實現的愿望，從句中不用虛擬語氣。
2)hope與wish后均可接不定式，即：hope/wish to do sth.。
3)wish可用于wish sb to do sth.結構，而hope 則不可。
4)wish表示良好的“祝愿”，用于"wish + sb. +n./pron.”結構，而hope 則不可。
①I hope you can help me.
②I hope/wish to see you again.
③I wish him to pass the exam.
④I wish you a happy New Year.
⑤I wish you happy.
though通常作從屬連詞，引導讓步狀語從句，但該句中用作副詞，置于句末，意為“不過，但是，還是”。
①He is looking fit, though.
②It was hard work. I enjoyed it though.
③I’ve a bit of cold. It’s nothing much, though.
