精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上定语从句简化的四种方法定语从句用来修饰名词或代词，为了使句子更简结，可以把定语从句简化为短语，其方法有以下几种：一， 当定语从句中谓语动词的后面是介词短语时，只需要去掉关系代词和谓语动词即可，例如：1:The student that is from Canada speaks French. The student from Canada speaks French.2:The book that is on the table is expensive. The book on the table is expensive.二， 当定语从句是主动结构，且是进行时态（现在进行时态和过去进行时态），或者当定语从句表示经常性的动作或状态时，可以简化为分词短语，例如：1:The boy that is reading a book is Tom. The boy reading a book is Tom.2:The students who study here are all from Shanghai.
