地点状语从句和where定语从句区别(如何区分地点状语和定语)

where引导的地点状语从句与主句的谓语之间存在逻辑语义关系,表示动作发生的地点;而where引导的定语从句则是与where前面的地点(或抽象地点)名词之间存在逻辑语义关系,用来限定名词。

最简单的办法是看where是否有指代先行词

应到定语从句还是状语从句的区别主要可以从以下X来看：

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 Rivermeet.

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. ）温暖而多雨的地方最适合于竹子生长。

我们要明确的是分句在句子中作什么成分，如果where引导的从句作状语，修饰主句谓语动词表示动作发生地点，则该从句为地点状语从句：而当where引导的从句为定语从句时，该从句一定会修饰一个名词——先行词，作定语，来表明那是一个怎样的地点。下面我们结合例句来分析一下：

When reading books, Max always makes marks at the spot where she has questions.

When reading books, Max always makes marks where she has questions.

解析：第一句the spot作为一个表示地点的先行词，此处 where 引导定语从句；而第二句

where 之前是动词mark，where表示Max做标记的地方，引导的是地点状语从句。

Go back where you came from.

Go back to the country where you came from.

第一句where修饰动词词组Go back，表示回到你来的地方，引导地点状语从句；第二句

the country作为先行词，此处 where 引导定语从句。

比如：The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw ‘a large cat’ only five yards away from her. 是定语从句，可不可以换成地点状语从句 The hunt for the puma began where a woman picking blackberries saw ‘a large cat’ only five yards away from her.谢谢
理论上是可以的
