（二）定语从句应该如何从哪里学起？
1）我们先来复习定语从句的结构
先行词+引导词+从句部分
2）我们先来回忆一下定语从句的引导词：
关系代词：that,which,who,whom,whose
关系副词：when,where,why
3）何时用关系代词，何时用关系副词：
关系代词：当先行词充当主语、宾语或表语成分的时候
关系副词：当先行词充当状语成分，从句内部主干成分完整的时候
（三）如何利用定语从句解题？
【例1】Teenagers are especially self-conscious and need the _________ that comes from achieving success and knowing that their accomplishments are admired by others.(考研英语2003年完形第25题)
[A]assistance
<B>guidance
[C]confidence
[D]tolerance
【解析】“that comes from achieving success and knowing that their accomplishments are admired by others”是一个由that作关系代词引导的定语从句，先行词在从句当中充当主语。利用定语从句与先行词的意义一致性，我们只需要充分理解定从句意，与选项进行比对，即可得出答案。由“achieving success”与“their accomplishments are admired by others”得知，选项A“confidence（自信）”符合句意。
【例2】（2013-大作文-英二）
