3.语法—非限制性定语从句
1.概念：非限制性定语从句只是对先行词作些附加说明与主句关系不十分密切，即使去掉，主句意思仍然明了；主句与从句间用逗号分开，一般不用that引导。
而限制性定语从句则是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语，若省掉，主句的意思就会不完全或失去意义，主句和从句关系密切，不用逗号分开。
2.which和as都可以引导非限制性定语从句，区别在于：
1）位置不同：which引导的从句只能位于句后，而as引导的从句可放在句首、句中或句末。
2）含义不同：as表示“正如……”；当限制性定语从句谓语是be expected、be said．be known、be reported、be announced等时，则多用as引导。which表示“因果”关系。
3）非限制性定语从句不可用关系代词that引导，而使用关系代词who、whom、whose、as、which和关系副词when、where、why均能引导非限制性定语从句，与限制性定语从句不同的是，在非限制性定语从句中，作宾语的关系代词不可省略。
