④根据句意   注意：定语从句的谓语动词如果是以介词结尾的短语动词，则不可把介词移至从句之首，如： look for, look after, pay attention to ,take care of , look forward to, listen to等。

注意和并列句的区别：

The old man has three sons , one of whom is a teacher. (定语从句，用引导词whom)  

The old man has three sons, and one of them is a teacher.(并列句，用代词them)

The old man has three sons; one of them is a teacher. (分号“；”后的句子是并列句，用代词them)

补充三种特殊情况

1.since when引导的定语从句，when指代前面句子所提供的时间背景，从句中多用现在完成时。

That was in 1997, since when things have been better. 那是在1997年，从那时起情况就已经好转了。（since when指代 since 1997）

比较：That was in 1997, when things were better. 那是在1997年，那时情况有了好转。( when指代in 1997)

2.from where引导的定语从句  ，表示从某一个地点。

Tom hid himself behind the door, from where he could hear the steps of his mother clearly. （from where指代  from behind the door） 汤姆躲在门后，从那里他可以清楚地听到妈妈的脚步声。

3.介词+which/ whom+ to do，相当于介词+which/ whom引导的定语从句。

I have only $10 with which to buy him a present. 我只有10美元来给他买礼物。（=with which I could buy him a present）

I want to make friends with Jack from whom to improve my English. 我想和杰克交朋友，从他那儿提高我的英语水平。（=from whom I can improve my English）
