如： 19)The house in which we live is very large. 我们住的房子非常大。

注意： 如果介词不放在修饰事物的限定性定语从句的句首， which就可换为that， 例如： This is the question which/that we’ve had so much discussion about. =This is the question about which we’ve had so much discussion. 这就是我们已经多次讨论过的问题。

2. 先行词为“those＋表事物的复数名词”时， 关系代词通常只用which而不用that。

如：you should grasp well those skills which may be used in the future work.

最后，记得这个特殊情况吧：当先行词是表示原因或方式的名词时，可以用that引导定语从句，相当于介词+which，that可以省略。

如： She likes the child for the very reason that (=for which) she loves his father. 她喜欢那个孩子因为她爱着孩子的父亲。

He didn’t like the way that (=in which) she speaks to his mother. 他不喜欢她对他的母亲那样说话。 Imagine the speed that (=at which) he drives the car. 很难想象，他开车开得那么快。

The reason (that /for which /why) he came here was to ask for our help.他来这里的原因是寻求我们的帮助。
