关系代词做从句的主语时，从句的谓语动词的人称和数要与先行词保持一致，先行词是句子时，从句的谓语动词使用单数形式。

【注意】

He is one of the students who ______ made great progress.

Mr Wang is the only one of my friends who ____ been invited to have dinner with us.

(have)

one of + 复数名词作先行词时，从句的谓语动词用复数形式。但若 one 前有 the （ only ） the （ just ） the （ very ）修饰时，从句的谓语动词用单数形式

想一想 理一理学好定语从句最关键的是什么？

定语从句修饰主句中某个名词或代词，起着相当于形容词（定语）的作用，所以也叫形容词性从句。句子那个被修饰的词叫先行词。定语从句一般紧跟在先行词之后。要学好定语从句，最关键要掌握以下两点：

1. 弄清关系代词和关系副词的区别：他们在定语从句中的作用 不同。关系代词在从句中起名词的作用，在从句中担任主语，宾语，表语和宾语。关系副词在从句中起副词的作用，在从句中担任状语。

2. 掌握关系代词和关系副词的方法：主要看先行词（假如放到从句中）在从句中所担任的成份，所起的作用。
