初中英语中,when引导的定语从句是重点语法点,常出现在考试和记叙文写作里。它主要用来修饰表示时间的先行词,像day、time、year、season这类词,when在从句中充当时间状语,把先行词和定语从句连接起来。

比如常用的句型I'll never forget the day when加从句,特别适合记叙文里描述难忘经历。比如I'll never forget the day when we first met,这句话可以拆成两部分:I'll never forget the day和We first met on the day。这里的on the day被when代替,when引导的从句紧跟在先行词the day后面,准确修饰这个时间点。再比如This was the time when he arrived,when代替了at the time,在从句里作时间状语,说明他到达的具体时间。

when引导的定语从句还能和“介词+which”互换使用。比如This was the time when he arrived可以改成This was the time at which he arrived,On which、in which、during which等搭配要根据先行词的具体时间来选。但要注意,如果先行词是时间名词,但在从句中作主语或宾语,就得用关系代词which或that。比如I remember the days which we spent together,这里days在从句中作spent的宾语,所以不能用when,得用which。

在记叙文写作里,when引导的定语从句很实用。比如描述得到第一只小狗的经历,可以写I'll never forget the day when I got my first puppy;或者用There was a time when…的句式,比如There was a time when people didn't worry about pollution,这类句子能让文章更有画面感。

考试中常考的题目也围绕这些知识点。比如选择题I'll never forget the day ______ we met in the park,选项有what、which、when、that,因为从句we met in the park结构完整,缺的是时间状语,所以选when。再比如Do you remember the year ______ Hong Kong returned to China,先行词是year,从句结构完整,缺时间状语,也得选when。

掌握when引导定语从句的关键,就是先看先行词是不是时间名词,再看从句是不是缺时间状语——缺时间状语就用when,缺主语或宾语就用which或that。这样不管是考试做题还是写作应用,都能准确使用这个语法点。
