有時為了簡潔起見可將定語從句轉化為分詞短語作定語：
Who’s the girl who is sitting beisde Jim? / Who’s the girl sitting beside Jim? 坐在吉姆旁邊的女孩是誰？
Most of the people who were invited to the party were teachers. / Most of the people invited to the party were teachers. 應邀參加晚會大多數是教師。
Anyone who touches that wire will get a shock. / Anyone touching that wire will get a shock.任何人觸到那根電線都會遭到電擊。
注意，并非所有的定語從句都能轉換成分詞短語，比如那些不能后置定語的分詞短語就不能與定語從句進行轉換：
誤：This is the boy being from the country. (being引出的分詞短語通常不用定語，除非它是構成被動語態的助動詞)
正：This is the boy who is from the country. 這是來自鄉下的那個男孩。
誤：We caught the thief having stolen the car. (現在分詞完成式不用作定語，即使換成一般式也不對，因為現在分詞短語作定語時它不能先于謂語動作之前發生)
正：We caught the thief having stolen the car. 我們抓住了偷汽車的小偷。
六、應考定語從句的幾個易錯點：
1. 混淆定語從句與并列句
請看下面兩題：
(1) He has two children, and both of _____ are abroad.
A. them B. which C. whom D. who
(2) He has two children, both of _____ are abroad.
A. them B. which C. whom D. who
第(1)題選A，第(2)題選C。由于第(1)題中用了并列連詞and，從而使整個句子為并列句，and后應是一個獨立的簡單句，所以選A不選C；第(2)題沒有并列連詞and，both of whom are abroad為非限制性定語從句。
2. 混淆定語從句與表語(從句)
請看下面的試題：
(1) Your coat is still _____ you left it.
A. where B. there C. there where D. the place where
答案選A，where引導的是表語從句(=在…的地方)，而不是定語從句。
(2) Is this school _____ your father worked in ten years ago?
A. where B. what C. that D. the one
答案選D，this school為句子主語，the one 為表語，your father worked in…為定語從句。不要誤認為this是句子主語，否則school前應加冠詞the。比較：
Is this the school _____ your father worked in ten years ago?
A. where B. what C. that D. the one (選C)
Is this the school _____ your father worked ten years ago?
A. where B. what C. that D. the one (選A)
3. 混淆定語從句與狀語從句
請看下面的試題：
(1) I went upstairs ______I heard some crying.
A. where B. when C. that D. which
答案是B而不是A，when的意思是“當…的時候”，引導的是時間狀語從句。(upstairs為副詞，不宜用作先行詞)
(2) He is _____ a clever boy _____ we all like.
A. such, that B. such, as C. so, that D. so, as
答案應選B，而不是A。such … that …(如此…以致…)用于引導結果狀語從句，其中的that不充當句子成分，而such…as…中的as為關系代詞，用以引導定語從句并在定語從句充當句子成分。上句中第二空之所以選as，是因為它用作動詞like賓語。
4. 誤加與關系代詞同義的人稱代詞
誤：He is a man everyone respects him.(www.hz123456.com)
正：He is a man everyone respects. 他是一個人人都敬重的人。
