A distand relative whom I knew nothing about has written to me from Australia.
1.为何这里的关系词是whom而不是who。两者用法上有何区别?
2.定语从句能先对关系词进行修饰,最进行陈述么?如:先用 I knew nothing about 修饰whom。再由has written to me from Australia.进行陈述。用法是这样么?

what 被认为是“缩合型定语从句”(什么意思呢?)它集“被修饰词+先行词”于一身,what等于(the thing that ...),类似这个含义:
What I want is ....
你想象,如果用what,那么展开就变成了:Tell me anything the thing that you know. (对吗?)
What 不能引导定语从句,以下两个句子,A句是定语从句,B句不能用what引导,
A. Tell me anything (that) you know.√
B. Tell me anything what you know. ×
但B句可以改为宾语从句:Tell me what you know。What引导宾语从句,就可以了!
1. 在这个句子中,既可以使用whom,也可以使用who。
whom大多用于书面语,而不是口语。在口语中,多用who代替whom。
当处于句子的宾语位置时,即可使用whom。
只有直接在介词之后时,才不能用who代替whom。
2.定语从句whom I knew nothing about 修饰的是主句中的主语a distand relative。而has written to me from Australia与主语a distand relative共同构成主句,也就是A distand relative has written to me from Australia.
3.这里是限定性定语从句,不能隔开。
