that 還是 when

在通常情況下，表示時間的名詞后應用關(guān)系副詞 when 來引導定語從句。但下面一句是例外，你能看出它的特殊性嗎？

She says that she’ll never forget the time ________ she’s spent working as a secretary in our company.

A. which                        B. when                          C. how                          D. where

【陷阱】容易誤選B，機械地認為時間名詞后必須用關(guān)系副詞when，地點名詞后用關(guān)系副詞 where。

【分析】正確答案為A。在時間名詞和地點名詞后是否用關(guān)系副詞要看它在定語從句中充當什么句子成分。一般說來，若用作主語或賓語，用關(guān)系代詞；若用作狀語，則用關(guān)系副詞。上面一題中的動詞 spent 缺賓語，故應用關(guān)系代詞 which或that。比較下面一題，由于空格后的句子不缺少主語或賓語，所以選關(guān)系副詞when：

She says that she’ll never forget the time ________ she works as a secretary in our company.

A. which                        B. when                            C. how                        D. where

請再做一組試題(答案均選A)：

(1) Our company will move to a tall building _______ we bought last month.

A. which                        B. when                            C. how                        D. where

選A，which 在定語從句中用作動詞 bought 的賓語。

(2) Our company will move to a tall building _______ has just been complete.

A. which                        B. when                            C. how                        D. where

選A，which 在定語從句中用作主語。

(3) Our company will move to a tall building _______ we worked two years ago.

A. where                        B. when                            C. that                        D. which

選A，where 在定語從句中用作狀語。
