定语从句中由于涉及主句和从句,在这里也会有时态先后的问题,一般来说如果主句动词是将来时,从句用一般现在时或者一般过去时。
1.从句表现一般现在时的情况
例句1:The man who is appointed as a school principal will be a better leader.
被任命为学校校长人将会是一个更好的领导者。(用is appointed 不用 will be appointed)
例句2:There will be a special regulate for somebody who takes part in the competition next week.
对下周参加比赛的人将会有一个特殊的规则。(不用 will take, 而用 takes 一般现在时)
2.从句表示一般过去时的情况
例句1:So to speak, those books whose covers were printed red would sale on Chrismas eve.
这么说吧,那些封面被刷成红色的书将在圣诞前夕出售。(whose引导的定语从句时态为一般过去时,主句would sale 为过去将来时)
例句2:The fashion show which held in these countries would make an important influence.
在这些国家举办的时尚秀将会产生重要的影响。
3.但也有主句和从句都是一致时态的情况
例句1:Person who will go to watch movies next month will have to book tickets in advance.
在下个月要看电影的人将不得不提前订票。(主句和从句都用的一般将来时)
例句2:The cooperation which will be build up between two companies will be a significant event in business.
将要在两个公司直接建立的合作将会是一个商业界的重大事件。(主句和从句都表示将来)
