which class和what class的区别

文/丁雪竹

是意思不相同,what class指在什么班,比如艺术班,数学班等。which class指的是在哪一个班。what class所问的班级没有范围限制,侧重于“班级”的种类。

which class和what class的区别

what和which有什么区别

一、修饰名词:

当用作定语修饰其后接名词时,which用于有范围限制的场合,what用于没有范围限制,侧重于种类的场合。如:

Which color do you like, black or white?

Which is bigger, the sun or the earth?

What color is your car?

二、单独使用,后面不加名词:

当其后不接名词时,which和what的用法区别依然是:用于有范围限制的场合,what用于没有范围限制,侧重于种类的场合。如:

What would you like for dinner?

I'd like tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and onions.

We have tomatoes, cucumbers and onions.

Which would you like for dinner?

I'd like some tomatoes.

三、与else和of短语连用时:

由于what提问的事物没有范围限制,所以其后可以跟else,但一般不跟表示特定范围的of短语。而which提问的事物有范围限制,所以其后一般不接else,但却常与表特定范围的of短语连用。如:

What else have you bought?

Which of these dictionaries is yours?

如何判断是用 what 还是 which

长篇大论之后,如果你还是不确定要用哪个,那么这里介绍一个方法,可能不是100%适用,但是适用于大部分。

当你想使用 which 时,试着在 which 后面加 ”of + 代词“,如果行得通,那么就用 which,例如:

Which (of your) shirts are you considering for the photo?

你考虑穿哪件衬衫拍照?

I don’t know which (of your) sisters you are bringing to dinner.

我不知道你要带哪个姐妹来吃饭。

Which (of their) books are they using in class today?

他们今天上课用的是哪本书?

解析:当你试着用 what 去代替 which 之后,你会发现行不通,因为没有类似 what of 结构作主语的。
