有关于英语的定语从句的问题,具体在问题补充,定语从句中的关系代词who,whom,whose的用法我很不清楚,可不可以用浅显的语言透彻的和我说明一下.比如说The man who was here yesterday is a painter.I know the man whom you meant.A child whose parents are dead is called an orphan.这三个句子为什么分别是用who,whom,whose的,这三个代词的意义是什么?

定语从句中，关系代词有who, whom, which, that ,whose.
　1. who 指人，在定语从句中可作主语，宾语表语。例如：
　　The person who broke the window must pay for it.
　　The boy who is wearing the black jacket is very clever.
　　2. whom指人，在定语从句中只能作宾语。例如：
　　Do you know the young man (whom) we met at the gate?
　　Mr. Lee (whom) you want to see has come.
　　3. whose 指人，在定语从句中作定语。例如：
　　The girl whose mother is ill is staying at home today.
　　I know the boy whose father is a professor.
　　4. which指物，在定语从中作主语或宾语。例如：
　　A dictionary is a book which gives the meaning of words.
　　Here is the book (which) the teacher mentioned yesterday.
　　5. that多指物，有时也指人，在定语从句中作主语或宾语。例如：
　　I’ve read the newspaper that(which) carries the important news.
　　Who is the person that is reading the newspaper over there?

I know the man whom you meant. whom在从句中用作meant的宾语。
A child whose parents are dead is called an orphan.
whose在从句中用作定语，修饰的是parents,合起来whose parents在从句中作主语

The man who was here yesterday is a painter.昨天在这的那个男人是画家.who在定语从句中作主语,指代先行词the man.I know the man whom you meant.我认识你指的那个人.宾语关系代词whom在从句中用作meant的宾语.A ...
