先行词+其他定语+定语从句的用法
比如 The mineral elements from the soil that are usable by the plant must be dissolved in the soil solution before they can be taken into the root
这句话中 from the soil是一个定语 that 从句是另一个定语
我想问,1.这里只能用that吗,可以用which替代吗?
2.如果再用一个定语从句修饰the soil,该用which 还是that?
3.怎样肯定句中的that 从句就是修饰The mineral element,而不是修饰the soil的,是仅从意思判断吗?
2、3能举例说明更好.

Answer 1

1.which也可以
2.which和that都可以
3.是从句意来判断的,你看,植物能吸收的是什么啊,是矿物元素还是土壤啊,很显然是前者,所以先行词就是The mineral element了.
